His admission she finds difficult to believe, and this is displayed in her expression as she looks over at him; but there's a faint smile on her lips even so. "It's somewhat hard to fathom you being taken aback by anything," she teases; but it does help - hearing that.
She glances toward the dinosaur once more as the weight behind his words settle. "You're right. But it's already changed, for better or worse; the moment your scientist and your boss decided to bring these animals back." She leans her head back against the seat and looks over at him, thinking about the unique and dangerous position he's in with this job.
She can't fault him for taking it, as she would have done the same thing; were she in his position. Still, a part of her can't help but worry now; and that shows in the furrow of her brow and the concern in her gaze as she looks at him without speaking for a moment. The fate of this island and whatever it's trajectory may be; success, controversy, disaster, or failure - he's tied to that.
With his next comment, she internally snaps herself out of that line of thinking and her expression slowly softens into an undeniably warm and affectionate smile as she responds - "That it is. And how fortunate for me that I happened to cross paths with someone who understands that." She reaches out to place her hand atop his. "Not to mention someone I share so many other things in common with." Which, truly; was a rare thing. She'd met plenty of people she could call friends, but it was very rare she came across someone as like minded as Muldoon. She could easily see him taking up residence in her heart, if things kept on as they were.
