Rose nods. This isn't the first time she's been called wordy, and it won't be the last. And Savli did in fact catch the gist. "Thanks," Rose says to Savli's disinterest in her murder. "I'm also not planning to kill you. If, um, that was a concern."

Rose is a bit tall for a woman, but she's also unarmed and looks like a stiff breeze might blow her away. Impressive she is not, and the bathing suit doesn't help. She feels like a nerdy high-schooler trying to talk with one of the delinquent kids. Though Rose herself never went to high school, so maybe she's a delinquent too? Yeah, she likes the sound of that.

And there's an irony to Savli's choice of target, though it's a difficult irony to explain. Ardyn's Oddities Consignment Shop will likely be an entertaining place to snoop, with tools and curios from a variety of worlds.

"I actually know this guy, sort of," Rose says, gesturing to the building. "If you don't mind a co-snooper, I can promise that the proprietor won't catch us."

See, the nerdy thing would be to offer to play lookout. And while Rose would objectively be the best person for that job, she'd rather seem cool get into a little harmless trouble.
