[She's not quite sure what to make of that smile, since she's seen plenty of dangerous people do just that, but it doesn't do much to make her feel any safer. She definitely fits the "prey" category, but for the moment she doesn't flee - not until she's sure he means harm and isn't some kind of... victim, even if he'd apparently be one quite capable of fighting back. His question makes her stiffen just a little; briefly she considers not answering at all, since she's well aware that some people thrive on inflicting suffering in others and that's something she's had to try to avoid encouraging before. Still, would he be more likely to react poorly if she doesn't answer? What she ends up doing is somewhere in-between - she lowers her head slightly in what might be a nod or might be a defensive gesture.]
