If you use the phrase "with an expression of intent concentration on her face" three times within 100 pages, people will notice.
Kind of like how in The Fall of Hyperion (which I know you haven't yet read, and I'll try very hard to remember to bring it with me when I come down to LA), every time they use a nursing pack (a futuristic bottle sort of thing) for the entirety of the book, it refers to it as being "one of the very last nursing packs" or something like that. There are only so many last few whatevers. It drove me up the wall.
