[ not that she expects him to make friends right away, but he does have the go ahead to charm people and let himself run a little wild if the situation calls for it. and you know, the sooner the better. it may not be exactly what mercury hoped for, but work is work and cinder doesn't really tolerate slacking off even when they're this far from the remnant. ]
