( She noted the way it wasn't a question, and quietly started a list that was headed 'Why You Do Not Speak To Engineers' in addition to the 'Words This Human Uses That No One Else Does' she was already compiling )

First comment. =P

...what, you expected content?

Okay, having read again with a calmer brain...

I still love Martin. As reads, he's actually more of a mystery than Sinclair. Which is really neat.

She didn't realise he knew that she had a second drive (most horses have a standard drive and then nearly-breaking-things overdrive, while Grammont could just switch over from a close-to-human level drive to her crackle drive, without risking injuring herself), so him suggesting a progression of power-levels for her guns was a little concerning. The fact that he absently took what she replied and realised that her second drive could actually also be used as a weapon made her go 'okay, you're not leaving right now.'*

I find it entertaining that his response to that was a mildly rueful smile and a confession; she's the first who's really caught him holding more information that he should.

*: I imagine in later years she would not have bothered locking her doors, because that's a warning sign.
