The mechanic's smile became a little more genuine, and he covered Bethany's hand with one of his own. "I've already thanked Anika for giving Dani some space here for a while. I can't say how long it'll be before she can come back, conditions being what they are, but...I'm thankful she has a haven here."
He glanced over at his wife, then looked at Bethany again. He didn't want this trip to end on a sour note, not when things were kind of uncertain back on Avalon, but he hadn't asked for his head to be bitten off for trying to be reasonable. "If you ever need repairs or anything, I'll be glad to lend a hand. It'd be the least I can do."
