Despite it being clear he wasn't encroaching on her personal space for flirty reasons, Garcia couldn't help enjoying having him so close. It made her realize that she was starved for physical affection here. At home, she got frequent hugs from her team. It was something she missed a lot.
She forced herself to focus on his instructions and nodded her understanding. "I'm ready," she said, feeling a little more confident about throwing with his assistance.
Her lack of upper body strength meant that there wasn't a whole lot of oomph behind her throw, though it was much better than her first attempt. She actually managed to get the axe to the target this time, though nowhere close to the bullseye. "Hey! I hit it!" she said, turning around with a grin.
