He blinked at her sudden burst of enthusiasm, clearly not expecting her to take his words quite that seriously.

( A little pout tugs at the pilot’s bottom lip — it’s true, mostly. Dae-Hyun tends to stay cooped up in his own little shop, crafting and tinkering with all sorts of things for the squad’s mechas. )
