His comment about healing makes any other response she had fall right out of her head. Her surprise is visible in her eyes through her mask, her cool, tough facade suddenly cracking in half. But then she quickly tries to cover it back up, schooling her expression back to something more neutral-bordering-skeptical, complete with a raised eyebrow as if a) he could see it and b) it'd save face.

"Healing? What are you, going to school to be a doctor or something?"
