[Shaw gives him a proper once-over, now that she's past the online-friends judgement. Military casual is easy enough for her to spot, and it describes her own vibe as well: she's dressed in skinny jeans, a fitted tee, and boots with a chunky heel, but she carries herself like a soldier, from her ever-ready posture to the alert eye she keeps on her periphery to the small handgun tucked into her waistband. She doesn't appear jumpy or stressed (not at the moment, anyway), but she looks like she could spring into action at a moment's notice, if need be.]
You guys think you'll need another bruiser as backup? I've been here two days and I'm already itching for action.
[And while she doesn't necessarily get along with all military people, she finds that they understand her better than most. Root's other friends seem nice and all, but this guy seems like he might be able to give her a job to do.]
