Even as children, they spent the majority of what time they had together knotted up in an intent and sometimes furious silence — two kids who had stopped being kids far too early and who had nothing but their training and one another to teach them what to become instead. Conversation, chit-chat, talk about the weather (—how's the family—), those were skills that normal people cultivated in the day-to-day. Things that, as adults, neither Mako or Chuck have much practice in or much use for.
Still, an attempt is made — albeit a stilted one. Mako comments on the state of Chuck's suit and his response doesn't have a clear line for her to follow from one thought to the next. Her brow puckers in obvious (still silent) confusion as she looks at him for a long moment.
Was he calling her a persistent girl for asking? Or had some young, tenacious female help him out of his drivesuit?
The pucker to Mako's brow furrows deeper at that second possibility. Then it shifts and changes shape to resemble something closer to: you didn't, did you. ]
