Well, she hadn't expected to be so impressed with Sergeant Barnes's bravery. If he knew of her reputation (and he was bound to, knowing Steve and the Commandos)then Barnes must have realised what she would do. Most women would have laughed and blushed like vestal virgins but she was far from that and it didn't seem like such a big deal anymore, kissing her palm. Still, she had a reputation to uphold.
"Sergeant, didn't anyone ever tell you it's an offence to get fresh with your superior officer? I could have you court marshalled." but she didn't drop her hand from his, "Just for that, you can have the bad scotch." Her eyes twinkled in mirth.
