I know. [ she sighs. She's not upset, really. The situation is complicated, and they've yet to really scratch the surface.
She does hope, though, that if something should happen, their connection might be enough to keep him grounded until she can get the pendant back in contact with him.

[ Not squirming. Nope. No squirming here, because he's stopping himself out of sheer force of will. But he absolutely does go redder. ]
Nothing! Really! Come on, there's hardly any light out there as it is with the storm, and if we wait too long you'll hardly be able to see your hand in front of your lap.

Yeah, I know. More than happy to let you be the brawn in this relationship. And the brains. And the beauty.
