If this was a few weeks ago, I probably wouldn't believe you. (But let's just say, his world has changed a bit since then.) Actually, I think I would believe anything after today.

she'll meet him in the face before she responds, head tilted to a side. ]
[ with that, her expression will instantly darken—a bitterness and anger flaring up—as she quickly turn her head to the side. it takes her a moment before she speaks. ]
One person. [ a beat. ] Maybe a second, but definitely one person.

[ a beat as she backs off and realizes that she could provide a name so he has some direction. her arms will be crossed over her chest as she looks away from him. ]

Alright, alright. (So someone she knows is here too?) I'd rather get information from the source anyway.
(Of course, there's also information to be gained from others but... now's probably not the time to mention it.)
