[ Gray can't really argue with that tone, though she isn't sure where it's coming from. Pure annoyance, maybe; to someone as brusque as Rin, it must be confounding that people drag their feet about anything.
Gray's silence in this case is consent. Properly cowed, she looks away and focuses on navigating the warped streets of Springstar. With a bit of root-hurdling and a short detour, Gray and Rin will eventually arrive at a simple, up-until-recently well-kept house with a sizeable backyard. If Rin looks closely, she might notice a little chicken coop and a single horse stable out back. It's a nicer arrangement than Gray's family home in Wales, but she figures it still must look like a hovel to a mage from an established family like Rin.
She opens the front door and steps back to let Rin in first. Through the doorway, she might see that the interior is straightforward with only token adornments: a quaint blanket here, a comfortable-looking set of furniture there. It's all impeccably neat and clean as if she was expecting a visitor today. ]
