When she turned her attention to the sink again to wash dishes, her smile simply faded back into a neutral expression that came naturally. She began to hum cheerfully, however, and made quick work of cleaning up after the meal.

At his next query, she didn’t turn around right away, but rather, flicked water from her fingers into the sink, “Oh, I’d say ye’ve done a fine job already, Mister Vaughn…” She turned around then and leaned her hip against the counter, tilting her head whilst regarding him with another small smile that caused her eyes to sparkle just a touch.
