Marcus. Jeez. At least he can lie well. Must help him out in this line of work, but. He still talks weird, walks weird, and this whole thing unsettles her, but now she's committed and doesn't have a way out, so she just goes with it.

"Do I hang around in alleys often? What kind of a question is that?" She chuckles, not trying to mock him but still ribbing. "No, not at all. I was just passing through, and saw you running in circles, so I stopped to see. It was pretty entertaining."

Okay, maybe it's mocking. So sue her. "I'd ask if you came here often, but I guess not, seeing as I'm giving you directions."
