[ She gets back in time to hear Reno declare himself the package and she casts him an amused glance, because she has no context here, but honestly that makes it better at the moment. She passes out the drinks around the table, including to their new friend, who she flashes a warm smile, before settling back in her chair. And into the arm slung around her shoulder, melting into the play at affection with ease and playing off it as if they were always this close.
Although when he makes an explanation, she blinks over at him, as if in equal surprise to what he points out, even if he'd made it up on the spot. Glancing down at her fingers, she straightens abruptly, looking alarmed. ]
Shit, it was here a minute ago. Wasn't it? [ Slipping into a feigned panic over the missing item, she pushes back from the table a little to peer under it where she sat. Not spotting it, she gets to her feet, looking around her. ] I need to retrace my steps, I know I had it just a little bit ago. I'll be right back.
[ Using the excuse Reno had given her, she's quick to retrace her steps to the bar, and then back towards the entrance. She doesn't miss when the pair of patrons across the tavern start silently slipping towards a side door before she even gets there. hiding a smile, she makes sure to angle herself in that direction when she exits, making sure to pass in front of the alley they'd slipped into.
Assuming Kyle and Reno will be not that far behind, she pretends to let her guard down enough that the pair feel confident enough to make their move, thinking they found an easy target. She plays it up as hands grab her from the shadows and drag her into the alley, slamming her up against the side of a building. Her panicked gaze darts around, taking in everything about her surroundings... and the fact that there really is only two of them here.
Idiots.
Her lips curve into a smile as the one holding her threatens her with a leer and she reaches up to grasp his wrists, but this time there's no panic in her movements, just an easy confidence. ]
Took you long enough. [ She tells him, watching the confusion flicker across his face a moment before her knee slams up between his legs and he crumples to the ground with a pained wheeze. She's already reaching for the second one to slam him face-first into the building, yanking his arm up behind his back at a painful angle to keep him still as she leans in behind him. ] I think it's time we had a talk, don't you?
