Well, yes. [ She gives him an ironic look. ] We have to stop meeting like this. People will think we're up to something.

[hypnagothic]

They would likely think that more of you.

[ ... was that a tease? is he teasing?? ]

[keepgodwaiting]

You know me. Can't trust a Constantine.

[ She falls quiet for a moment, still looking at him, then glances away with a soft sigh -- not resigned or morose this time, but faintly relieved, like she's re-settling herself after putting on a coat. ]

Thanks for talking anyway.

[ About Burgess, about his family. About her own fears of this place. It would be a stretch to say she feels better about any of it, but ... at least it's something, to be trusted, especially by someone who knows what she's like. To say these things out loud to someone on her own terms, and to think she's understood. ]
