Tess had a few minutes to herself between tasks when she was waved to. She cocked her head and looked in the direction of the woman there, seated as if nothing was wrong. She'd lived along the eastern seaboard long enough to know that everyone dealt with these storms differently. It was a little odd to see someone who seemed this at ease, but there were people who just loved stormy seas. Heck, people chased tornadoes. Crazy.

Walking over, she waved back. "You seem to be doing alright. Not injured I hope?" she said in accented Japanese.
