He reminds her a bit of one of her friends, even. Pity it's probably just an elaborate ruse to seem more relatable, trustworthy, all that. In her experience, any kind of trace of 'humanity' in these creatures is all lies, to make them blend in and get more of what they want.

Except her, obviously. She's the only good one.

"Why do I get the impression that were this situation a bit different, you're the one I'd have to be looking out for?" she asks, a wry sort of tease- hiding the fact that she still is very much watching him, just consenting to the temporary team up. The enemy of my enemy and all that.
