[If Harry is exhausted, then Carmen is doubly so, having not just experienced the draining transit of the flight but having been the one charged with actively navigating it as well. To be sure, the Baron and Holmes had done their share of helping to guide them safely back to Goldenrod, but it's still not nearly so easy as simply letting them fly without supervision, and that's the sort of exertion that sneaks up on you, born of prolonged concentration and maintained by subtle stress.
Flying doesn't bother her, but she's not about to deny that it's nice to just sit and close her eyes, soaking in the warmth of the heated car and relishing the feeling of being out of the wind and chill at last. And it had been tempting, too, the thought of trading out some of her roster and pulling out Navi just for the sake of having something soft and warm near her for the ride, but in the end the idea seemed to be more trouble than it'd be worth, and so it's Zack in her lap instead, snuggled in and contently beeping and booping to himself every so often.
Six hours of someone else doing the driving, she muses tiredly, pulling her collar higher on her neck and closing her coat a little more securely. Once, she'd never have stood for it. But right now, that sounds just fine to her.]

We're in the home stretch.
[As if in agreement, Zack boops amenably.]
