Holding on seems to be par for the course at this point, something that comes with the territory, but Chuck continues doing so more than willingly. He's not sure if the same could be said for the way she leans back into him, if it's deliberate or just an effect of the necessary way they're sitting, but either way, he hardly minds. He'd be crazy to, whether or not there's anything to it.

When she speeds ahead, he lets out a laugh before he can help himself, the rush it provides one it's hard to find fault with. Back home, he couldn't really go out of his way to do a lot of thrill-seeking, not being able to risk it with what his job was, but it came with the territory of being a Jaeger pilot anyway. Here, with as dull as his life has become, this is a welcome change of pace, a return to form. "You're good with this thing."
