[ as soon as she steps out of the hotel he's going to hear her gasp - woah! - and then she's rushing over, the heels of her new outfit clacking against the pavement, because she's just as excited as she said she'd be. ]

Look at this thing! It's a beast! [ she chuckles, walking a circle around it and then stopping in front of him to smile. ] Definitely looks like it's got some real power behind it, which it's going to need if it's going to be able to keep up with you. [ she gently ribs him, hesitating and then just sort of... grabbing for his jacket and tugging him into her. ]

[ ok. look. she was trying to keep things light, but she's so fucken relieved that he's here and she needs a hug. it doesn't last too long ( thankfully??? ) because she doesn't want to make things awkward, so she steps back and lets out a laugh, chewing on her lip and just giving his chest a pat as she looks back at the van, cheeks red. ]

Thanks for inviting me out, by the way. I needed it.
