( Gangs. Lechers. His eyebrows raise a little, and it's with some dry humor that he points out the obvious: )
Sounds like a rough neighborhood.
( Deliberate understatement. His condolences.
He'll keep his commentary there, surface level, but his deeper instinct says there's more to it. It's just...
He's been to Detroit. He's been to the Bronx. He's been to literally anywhere in the state of Florida. Met hundreds of people from gang-filled lecher-populated neighborhoods.
Can't say he's met any non-hunters that learned how to throw knives like this as a result. That's a skillset that requires a lifetime of consistent practice. Hell, maybe it's a circus thing, but she'd probably have mentioned that if it were the case. The conversation bits and pieces imply that it's a whole separate source.
Maybe she can pick up on that light ghost of skepticism. If she can, she can probably also pick up on the fact that if he's right about it he's not gonna call her out on it, nor judge her for keeping her truth to herself. It's none of his business. They're not exactly on That Level.
A small truth can be a deep, messy can of worms. )
