[Ecks is a fairly stoic traveling companion, all things considered. She has tended to retreat to corners and hidden spaces in the evenings to surround herself with stuffed animals and either read the network or retreat into some imaginary world as she moves the animals around in a silent, stilted form of play.
Tonight, though, the night before they are to reunite with Doctors House and Wilson, Ecks is more fidgety than normal. She finds a corner for her bags but does not unpack the animals; instead she paces the bus station, getting powdered sugar all over her hand as she stuffs miniature donuts from one of the vending machines into her mouth. She eyes Will with each pass; her expression is as blank as it always is but these are the hallmarks of an Ecks who wants to talk about something. Eventually she comes down to it, abruptly changing course to come to a stop in front of him.]
