Well, the newbie beside her certainly sounds very confident as well. Red's impressed with his ability to bullshit but make it sound really good. Granted, she thinks it helps he's mostly speaking truth about everything - there are people who fake being necromancers and fake everything else they do.
The man seems to consider, taking another drink from his glass. There's a flash of rage in his eyes, violence- There's a threat in the way he holds himself, but beneath the violence, Red can sense these wisps of hope and belonging. Something that hasn't been important to him for some time, and something she has never experienced herself - family.
"Okay," the man says gruffly, and it would be clear to the Doctor if his psychic abilities are in tact that he is conflicted but hopeful. His life is not one that he is particularly proud of. It's easy to be violent like his father was, but it's the violence of these streets that killed his sister in the end. "But not out here, I don't want anyone seeing or knowing."
He gestures to a private room. This works out better for them too so the man won't be distracted, so no one who is actually a Necromancer can call them on this. She doesn't see the man's sister among the spirits hanging around. It's mostly those who died of the crime lord currently putting this party on.
Red follows him into the room where there's a table and chairs. "Now like my partner said, there is a lot of people who pretend to do showy tricks with lights and shadows and candles. We're not like that, and I suspect you're a man who can appreciate that." It's taking everything in her to not throw in her curse words. "We get right down to business. All we need is to be close, quiet, and for you to think about your sister. We'll handle the rest."
