@Savi Ted raised his eyebrows at her accent.
"Well Sylvya" Ted said
"Just because I know your name doesn't mean I know who you are. And since you rudely entered my home I do not need to answer your questions." Ted said defiantly still glaring at the woman. At the same time he was taking in all of her appearance deciding if he could trust her.
"But seeing that you are part of the O'Leary mob it seems I don't have any choice without needing to flee from this location." Ted finally said after several long moments glancing at the woman and noticing the brand she was attempting to hide under her sleeve.
"My name is Ted. Other people know me and would know if I go missing." He said lying through his teeth. The last thing he needed was the mob showing up at his doorsteps to force him to join or kill him.
"As for this place, this is my current dwelling." he finished attempting to sound brave but fear clearly revealed itself through his voice.
