"Nefarious plan, huh?" Mal asked, a bit skeptically but with a very light tone that obviously meant she was teasing him. "And what would that be?" Was this flirting? Was she flirting with Harry of all people right now? Maybe she was. And part of her felt a bit guilty about it all, but another part of her was just happy to smile again. If just for a moment she could allow herself to relax and be happy, that wasn't a bad thing, right?

Harry was letting her off the hook in a big way. She didn't have to have the solution to his problem just yet. And while she was far from giving up by any means, it was nice to know he wasn't pressuring her to fix him. She'd think of something, somehow she always did.
