[Carol's used to head pats, so she doesn't even flinch or blink at the gesture. It's a nice, familiar feeling that makes her think of home - more specifically, walking alongside the Vice-President whenever they would visit a big city.

It leaves her with an odd feeling. Maybe homesickness? Still, her expression doesn't change much. It's not like thinking about it would change anything, right?]

Oh, well, I'm glad then! [And then she looks a bit surprised at herself.] Er, I-I mean, not that I'm glad there's a need! I'd prefer it if there was no need at all for things like this, I just meant...

[She sighs a bit. Someday she'll learn not to mix up her words.]

I'm glad if it's useful to you, Mr. Christopher.
