There might be merits to learning to relax a little bit every now and again, but the fact that she accepts and appreciates his diligence rather than teasing him or trying to twist his arm further hones that sense of understanding they've been harboring for so long now.

That she trusts him to look out for them while she unwinds is an honor, one the displaced marshal is fully intent on upholding.]

Let me just make myself a small plate and we can share in some of that together... I shall be right back.
