"Do you know why they do that?"

Not we, but they. Not that he's denying it but he loves playing this game with her and it's amusing him more than it should.

"They know it puts others off balance and unsettles them. Most don't like others that close, and they get nervous and they get weird about it so then they try and act like they're fine. Except they're not. It means they're more likely to do what you want, or to tell you what it is you want to know."

He can't help but grin at that. "Absolute flirt," he says. "Guilty."

He pauses, considering that. He takes a drink, eyes narrowing as he looks at her. "Don't let Marcel draw you in. He thinks he's runs this city and he is about to go down in flames. That," he says, giving her a hard look. "Is politics very few know. You'll be around a bit and you might learn how much that could change this town."

He's not sure why he's warning her but he can't help but to give her that warning.
