[Even as they'd been working independently so far, Shalimar would be lying if she said she wasn't glad to be on this mission with Brennan. In a world full of so much of the unfamiliar, it was hard not to latch on to someone who was not only a familiar presence, but was also family. And besides, it made sense that if there was a mission, they'd head out together. That was just how things were done.
Which meant, even as she'd been hoping to shift the focus away from what might be wrong with her, she wasn't surprised that Brennan had zeroed in on it right away. He always was, always had been protective of her even in circumstances where it was clearly unnecessary but for once, she couldn't quite begrudge him the contact or the concern.
He was home in a place that was anything but, after all.]
Fair warning, the plants get a little clingy. And you know that's never really been my thing.
[At least there was room enough to keep things lighthearted. Honestly she was more worried about her clothes than her hand and even then only because funds were tight for now.]
So damn rude of them
