"Will!" Sabine's response to his tentative greeting was all but gleeful. Her mind was still a mess, but with rest, and Scott present (and the bond she'd suspected Jean of suppressing beginning to grow in) to stabilize her, she was capable of much greater coherence and brighter emotions.

For his sake, however, as she approached, she quieted her smile to one more on the tender side than the brilliant wattage his presence called forth in her. As she had wth Scott, she'd taken to Will immediately and it informed every aspect of her being when she was with him. "Ciao, caro. I'm glad you've come. Tell me, how are you?"
