[ miracle of miracles, but emma actually laughs. it's just a soft chuckle, quiet, but definitely a laugh. that...that feels good. it's nice to take just a moment to stop thinking about death and blood and revenge -- just a moment to appreciate someone else's company.
she's oddly pleased by faraday's offer of comraderie, and he does have a point: they'll be fighting together (because she sure isn't going to be cowed by sam), and maybe a degree of familiarity will make that easier. ]
Then if we're to be fellows, do you mean to call me by my name?
[ the cock of her eyebrow, the expectation in her look doesn't come off as icy or vicious -- it's more of a sassy challenge than anything.
she's enjoying the banter, and it exposes a crack in emma's impenetrable armor, the way she hides behind her determination and burning rage. emma is made of fire, but given the opportunity, her quick tongue can be just as witty as it is brutal.
but in this moment, she's letting part of herself slip, and it means that faraday gets to see it. ]
