She lets out a little snort of laughter when she hears his muttered comment. "Couldn't resist," is all she says. Would it help, if he knew that she didn't think there was anything desperate about what he was doing? They're in an incredibly unusual circumstance. He's been alone for a long time. She's not going to hold it against him if he can find some respite here, for however long she can stay.
His question surprises her a little, and it's quiet for a moment as she considers her answer. Evidently she's been holding it together pretty well. And she can only think of one reason why that might be. "There's a girl named America that can punch her way into different universes. This has never happened to me before, though. I guess it's just - you know, once you spend a few years fighting shape shifting aliens, your tolerance level for what's weird goes way up." Another quiet beat before she adds on, "and if it let me see you, I figure it can't be that bad."
