[ She can understand those blankets, as frustrating as they are, so she doesn't comment on them or try to go any further. In fact she's holding off on looking very closely with her mind at all, because she'd prefer that if he talks he talks without any Sentinel or Guide instincts pushing it out of him, that he talks because he wants to. Because he believes she'll listen. She's willing to wait for that, willing to watch him and study the shifts in his expression. That he keeps looking at her is a good step at least, less of the turning away that had bothered her so much at first. She wants him to look at her, to see that there might be frustration in her expression but there's sincere concern too, that she wants to help.
She is going to keep shifting like that a little bit at a time, meanwhile turning her attention back to his neck and where it runs into his collarbone, the hollow of it, the side, at first scattered and brief before starting to put more thorough effort into it, nothing particularly gentle about her motions or her free hand still in his hair. ]
