“Early days,” she says, measuring the distance between them and the inconvenient angles that he’s at. How much he probably doesn’t want to have to pay whatever price for the damage he could do if he had to; how willing she thinks he is, regardless. I have come all this way. “I haven’t had complaints as yet, and I’m not well known for my willingness to stick out a bad scene.”
That sounds less like an earnest attempt to impress upon him her credentials than it does something in the nature of a private joke,
that no one she’s left in her wake probably finds very funny.
“Do you not?”
Like who he’s working for. Since they’re having this conversation.
