( melinda tried to refute jemma's opener there with a small shrug and a look that says: it's just my name. it has may's mom written all over it. her dad mostly calls her mellie. )
Details can be a double-edged sword.
( sometimes their writers notice more than they'd probably like. or see right to the truth of them and then don't use that insight responsibly. but before may can really delve deep on that, she's scoffing. she shakes her head from side to side. ) Something, huh?
( may's effectiveness can be too easy to reduce. they've seen that happen, through injury or otherwise. in some ways, she's getting less effective all the time. it would usually frustrate her, but it's just a fact of life. a part of getting older. )
We'd all have been dead so many times, without you. ( dead dead. plain facts, not the most heartfelt gratitude. hopefully it gets the point across. jemma can't have failed to notice her own genius. that wouldn't be very smart. )
