[...Alright, well. He can gather what "snuff" means from context, at least - while the term isn't familiar to him, the idea that someone could take sexual pleasure from death is... less so.
That raises the question, though, of this woman's intent in suggesting he's interested in that.
If she means to shock him, she's a few years too late. She wouldn't know that, of course, but it's hard to say if she'd be the type to assume him to be that naive, either.
Maybe she means to mock him for it - either because she thinks he may be interested in that and hopes to embarrass him by laying it out so explicitly, or because she doesn't and intends to draw attention to his... begrudgingly admitted mistake of bringing up death in a context so tied into sex. The latter possibility is the most irritating, because he did kind of walk into that, he guesses.
Third, and least likely, would be that she's making an earnest suggestion. He dismisses that one out of hand. Chances are, the real answer is the most annoying one.
So he just won't acknowledge it. Better to get back to intel gathering, because that's what he's here for to start with and definitely not because he's mad about walking into that.]

No, thank you. Who is that?
