Sometimes she wishes she knew how to read him better.
She would never claim to know him in the way childhood best friends do, but after months of traveling alongside him, he is still such a mystery to her. Is it because she just happens to be there under less than ideal circumstances?
He gropes her, she slaps him; it is their act. To be more precise, this is his act, because she knows it is what he does, and because she knows her response is an appropriate one.
But still, she sometimes wonders if there is more to him.
