[For all that Asil is being casual about holding her hand even well after he helps her up to the road, it hasn't gone unnoticed by Eun. It hasn't gone unnoticed that she doesn't mind either. She couldn't trust casual touch from those of the pack she left, but Asil...
Somehow even with the instability he mentioned, the fact that he is not always safe to be around, she trusts him already. Trusts that he would let her hand go if she asked, trusts that he would not find deeper meaning in her allowing him to do so, trusts that...that if by some wildly unlikely chance he were to try to take her hand because he were interested, he would respect any decisions she made.
These thoughts flit in and out of her mind quickly as the truck approaches. She takes in Tag's appearance as the second person she'll meet from Aspen Creek, and lifts her hand in greeting before allowing herself to be ushered into the car. She takes the seat behind Asil, content not to be at their backs than to have anyone at hers, and watches as the woods around them pass by as they drive. She realizes after a moment that Asil is entirely silent as they drive and, lacking any immediate ideas for continuing their conversation, leans forward to blow at the back of his neck just to bother him.
Playing.
Just as easily, she leans back away from him with an amused smirk on her face, and practically hops out of the vehicle once they arrive at Bran's home.]
I was wondering how close we were before we got picked up. Thanks for the lift, by the way. [The last is directed to Tag with another little wave, friendlier than when he'd first arrived. Her attention returns to Asil immediately after.] Do we head in?
