It's way more bitter than he's used to and he makes a face, but it's also got more flavour than the garbage he had to eat in the facility. So after a moment of thought, he takes another sip and pulls out a granola bar.]

Root accepts the coffee, pops the can open, and has herself situated and on the road again all while she answers. There's a vitality, almost a perpetual urgency, to her now that she's not pretending to be Caroline Turing -- and her speech itself is brighter and sharper, less measured. ]

They're for him, not her. Once Root is on a mission she can go, go, go without sleep or sustenance for quite a while, bolstered solely by her nerves and conviction.
