[She sighed.]

I'll be keeping an eye on you, Jolyne. I've got a feeling you'll go far.

[She considered offering Jolyne a hand up, but decided that could only end poorly and stood back up instead, dusting herself off a bit. Lin had been very careful to not do any serious damage, and was confident that once Jolyne got her breath back she'd be able to stand up fine on her own.]

Maybe not today, though.
