It's a relief to get inside once again. While she may have chalked it up to nerves over the bank heist, she had been uncomfortable the entire time she had been out and about in the daylight. There was certainly a psychological element to that -- the knowledge that if, at any point, Will had decided to slip away, the burning would begin. But as she stripped Will off of her like a bodysuit, she noticed that her skin was significantly redder than normal, like she had been in a hot shower for hours. It was more tender than normal, as well -- it didn't look permanently damaged or anything, but the sun's light had not done her much favors as of yet. Even a fancy Willskin suit was not apparently enough for her to stroll out in the daytime too much.
Will sagged, losing much of his form as Miriam peeled him off. The inside of him was a bit scorched and smelled faintly of char as well, from having been in contact with her skin -- it looked like he had absorbed some of the damage meant for her.
"Of course it worked! That was a really clever idea by the signature, too," Will said, his mouth flapping open a little oddly as he dangled, two-dimensionally.
