Perhaps the groan can be charmingly pathetic. Which is in keeping with the feral cat imagery, if she thinks about it. Something half starved and dirty, but with a little food and a soft hand, appealing.
The fact in this case the stray is a handsome young man with eyes the color of sea glass and a compellingly haunted expression manage to turn that charming into something attractive.
The fact she's responsible for that groan doesn't hurt.
Her fingers are strong and clever, massaging soap through his hair and down to the skin.
"I enjoy getting paid," she says flippantly, flashing a smile he can't see but that certainly colors her voice. "And sometimes the work isn't so bad. Plus, we're fucking good at it."
At least she and Vex are. She's still warming up to the idea the rest of them aren't incompetent.
