[She shoots him a pseudo-damning glare - which, as expected, runs off him like water - and shakes her head, unable to determine if he was gunning for this outcome from the start or simply chose to cause chaos and see where it'd lead.]
Alright. You owe me a meal, though!
[Honestly, it's almost a given that they'll end up chatting away and eventually getting hungry - she's just pointing out that he'll have to cook on his own this time to repay her for the hassle! (She feels that way now, but realistically, there's a 80% chance that she'll end up helping regardless, after all it's a routine they enjoy.)
As they head to the teleport node, she can't help but think of the previous times she touched him - hugs, hand-holding, little caresses. It happened most often when they were in the water, didn't it? The thought of his smooth, scaleless eel skin with that lovely glow underneath puts a small smile on her face. Why am I thinking of this now? I need to get dry sooner rather than later. Jade, I should kick you in the back of the knee. She doesn't - if he fell down and went into dramatics over the ambush, it'd only delay them further!]
