I mean, I get yelled at all the time, so once more isn't gonna change much right now.

[She shrugged, looking completely unbothered.

Still, she blinked at him as she accepted the bit of sleeve... and then smiled, holding it up.]

Well, they'd certainly believe that I couldn't stop you... and also they'll appreciate me keeping the police out of it, so there's that. With any luck, I'll be back to my place before dawn.

... Thanks. I don't need you to walk me back, by the way. It'd be useless to pretend you escaped if you're just going to walk me to the door of the compound. I'll be fine. This is my neighborhood, everyone here knows me.

But if you drop by during the day, I'll make you something to eat, okay?
