Saying thank you at this point feels slightly superfluous--all of this has become part of their routine. Their current placement makes it easy for him to bring his hands up to Jayce's face, wiping away some of the dirt and grime.
"Only if we're not needed." This is a break, isn't it? "I can go back to the equipment staging area, see if there are repairs to be made."
