[ She's still here. Tessa is still here, and she's - they're holding hands, basically. What a juvenile thing to get giddy over, but Minji has been trying her damnedest to keep her hands mostly to herself and not pressure Tess, or make her feel uncomfortable. The banter has helped, the teasing and flirting, and the care that they've offered one another.
And while her crew, for the most part, treats her like a person rather than some other entity, Tessa is an outsider that's come in knowing her reputation. Knowing that people fear and loathe her. But she doesn't fear her, now, and didn't really display much of it at the start despite how it was an undercurrent to her bravery. Ever since then, she's treated her like a person. It's kind of nice, to have someone that isn't the crew acting like she's a human being instead of a wanted criminal.
She leans in towards her, though raises her chin, so that she can press her lips to her temple where her gaze is cast aside. It's a small gesture, but Minji hopes that it's as welcomed as she feels it's encouraging. Accompanying it is the brush of her thumb over her cheek, hand staying where it's held. ]
