Well step one accomplished. She had gotten him to engage with her in a way that wasn't completely offputting and made her want to punch his face in. Punching people in the face would probably (but hopefully not) come later. And she only had one hand available for that now. She had to hold herself back, lest she end up with two broken hands and an even longer waiting time before she could get back to being able to weight train. Also not effectively being able to use her hands in every day life. That would also being really annoying to have to deal with for 10-12 weeks.

The downside is that she'd now gotten herself involved in a conversation where she didn't really know what she was talking about and had to make due. That particular downside was a problem she had expected to face coming in, so it wasn't really all that surprising that it came up in the conversation at hand. Perhaps she didn't need to know a lot, though. She had a feeling if she could get him talking, that her input into the conversational could be kept to a minimum.

[color=D5FF00]"I'm not a fan of them, no."[/color] Truth, but she didn't exactly dislike the company either (as it goes for most companies one was unfamiliar with, large or small), but the implication of the words indicated her being more antagonistic towards them than she actually was. [color=D5FF00]"How did they snatch it away from you? It was the fault of that Gonzalez woman, right?"[/color] An unexpected place for her research on the inhabitants of Boston Heights (living and deceased) to pay off, but having at least a couple names of the MSS Top Brass would be enough to give her the aura of being more familiar with the topic than she really was. In the back of her head, her brain scrambled to piece together a compelling back story for how she would have had a run-in with Alicia other than merely passing by her occasionally on her way up to her apartment. Better safe than sorry after all.
