[Just a non-committal noise this time, but she does use one hand to push her glasses up so that they're sitting on the top of her head when he starts playing with them. Right now, McClane and Hans are having their first face to face encounter, but Lien's not quite paying attention at that current moment.
This is heavy. But having someone next to her and just sharing a simple moment in time like this was a pleasant sort of burden. This normally wouldn't happen with her. Magi already shut out enough unnecessary people in their lives, but Lien did that even more. She even shut out her own twin at some point even though she convinced herself it was for the best. She tried to convince herself about a lot of things even before she met Cu Chulainn, but sitting here now, Lien knows she's just been lost, but refusing to find direction because wanting something meant she'd get hurt and she didn't know if she ever really healed from the moment she woke up in that horrific room 10 years ago.
John McClane's and Hans Gruber's laughter snaps her out of her reverie; look, she doesn't want to miss the climax, it's great stuff.]
Oh! We're almost near the end.
[Outside, the low rumble of thunder can be heard and the rain is beginning to come down harder. Her head sinks into Lancer's shoulder some more almost naturally.
... It's annoying. Lien wants to squash down those faint whispers, wishing for the impossible. But that resolve weakens because even though her future is uncertain, the present moment is just too good to resist.]
