She's not much better when it comes to being vulnerable, but so far the times she's displayed that while in his presence - the way he'd responded made her more comfortable, enough to show a softer side of herself. And perhaps that's part of why she's able to notice that fondness from him; even though he manages to dodge her question, she knows the answer to it.
When he leans in closer, she's momentarily distracted by that proximity and by his voice lowering a bit; her mind going back to their evening at the beach and of being in his arms. But she manages to still pay attention to his words; noticing the color on the dilophosaur's neck and wondering at what their frills must look like. "A clever distraction to draw the eye," she remarks. She's not sure how much she'd trust a gentle cooing sound from a carnivore, but she can't fault the wardens for reacting as they had. After all, these are extinct species; it's not as if it's common knowledge how to avoid an attack like one would with any other predator.
When he stops himself, she lowers the binoculars and gives him a look, part scolding but mostly amusement. "I can imagine." There's a grin on her face as she lifts the binoculars again to get another glimpse; then eventually hands them over to him.
"It's astounding." She sighs with a shake of her head. "I've only seen a few species so far, but already I feel as though my perception of your world is... drastically altered. Your species and dinosaurs are separated by such a vast gap of time. This shouldn't be possible." She muses aloud, and coming from someone who regularly alters reality with her magic, the of the statement isn't lost on her.
