"Thought so." she responds, screwing up the corner of her mouth into a half smile. "You stick out like a sore thumb." Maybe a little empathy and humor might make this Winter guy more approachable. Right now he just reminds her of everything she left behind when she got separated.
The talk of coffee and hula hoops seems to die down after her reveal. And with Winter and Sand both offering 'assistance' and the rest congratulating them, it seems like a win-win. She starts to blush. Not really out of embarrassment, though. More like a happy blush. Mostly. "Thanks. And yeah, like she said: we're still working on all that. Don't worry about trying to help or anything just yet." She offers them an apologetic smile, not holding eye contact for very long.
She has to wonder what they all think of her 'protecting people'. With the way that she is. It gives her some satisfaction thinking how surprised they'd all be if (and when) it comes to that.
