Maybe she's worked with GoldGate before, and after reading his hat, asks if he knows someone, who he successfully describes, convincing her he can't be all bad? Maybe more people who are actually unpleasant show up and he helps defeat them? Maybe she tells him to fornicate with his headdress and goes off to google him? He'd be willing to pinky swear! I got nothing, I dunno what to tell you, sorry...
