She breathes a sigh of relief, she didn't want to have to explain that to anyone meeting her, she'll tend to the holes in her dress and her jacket whenever she can find a way to do it. For now she simply pats the dirt from her hands and beats her dress to scatter what she can. It was better than nothing, and she was glad for it.
Even reaching up to touch her hair was a relief, the ribbons that had once held it in place long gone in the care of someone else, but the humidity in the air had left it unmanagable and when soaking wet it had weighed her down. Now the curls fell thick around her shoulders and back, hiding the most incriminating slices in her clothes. There's something almost like excitement in her eyes when she smiles back up at him.]

Thank you! I couldn't do anything like that.
