That he thought she was a good person, that her dad would be proud... it meant a lot. She loved Gooligan and her Master very much, but neither were exactly generous with praise. So when she noticed it, and thought that it might actually possibly, maybe be earned, it meant a lot to her.

Still... the thought of wearing that watch on a mission again, the fear of them being pulled out again...

She considered for a long moment, then took a deep breath before speaking. "I trust your judgment more than the train's or whoever is running it... so what about this... we stick together for missions, stick to the ones I don't need the stupid watch for, and if you, you and not the train, if you feel we need to bug out..." she wanted to say that she'd let him decide, what came out instead was "then if we can, we'll discuss it...?"

She thought that was fair, maybe?
