"If ya think I won't notice y'stink, you're wrong," she said with a grin. "Ain't hard t'be an expert on pink dudes, since y'all won't shut up 'boutcherselves." She was just assuming that he was on the pinker side of things, but it was an educated guess. "An' y'all smell suspiciously like ham, if y'didn't know."
Unable to actually see any of the evidence of his hard work, and being sent in occasionally conflicting directions, it was still a tricky business to convince herself that she was not being fucked with. But what a strange and futile prank that would be. "I'd think pros'd be tricker than randos," she murmured, "but'll take your word for it." Like she was taking his word for a lot of things.
Despite her suspicious nature, it was difficult to suppress the frisson of fear at the thought of there being a serious and non-drone pursuer coming toward her. "Don' recall signin' up for any kinda fucks."
Honestly. Honestly. This was just supposed to be a quick jaunt to a saferoom, nothing complicated or interesting. Why here? Why now? She'd wonder why her, but there were too many answers to that question to bother.
She didn't like orders and she didn't like being called sweetheart, but she didn't like getting shot at more. And when someone said fast, she went fast, too fast to worry about things like getting annoyed or expressing that displeasure. Though she certainly would when her mouth had caught up with her. Up stairs and across the room and out a broken window, up again and not bothering to try and get near the fire escape, just using the architecture instead. How she usually tended to do things, the advantage of being small and lightweight. Stairs and ladders were optional. Having just the one hand to grab things with slowed her down, but less than one might expect.
There were circumstances where running was not her only option in an emergency situation. These were not those circumstances. These were alone-and-tired-and-one-handed circumstances.
Later, she would wonder if the fake rat projection had kept up with her, because that sounded hilarious.
