WHO: Lila Pitts and Five Hargreeves
WHEN: After Lila's return from Ellethia
WHERE: Mouse House kitchen
WHAT: Information sharing
WARNINGS: Cursing, Five's paranoia, will add for more that pop up
Lila has sent out the fishing line, caught herself the fish, and now here he comes. Even knowing that the Commission's most accomplished assassin is on his way over, she only has a sandwich in hand to greet him and no items within reach to use as a weapon. Not everything about her is relaxed, preferring to be on her feet when Five enters the space. She's half-expecting him to just jump in, almost hoping for it because there is a severe lack of superpowers around here, and it would be nice to make sure her own ability is mostly intact.
Leaned up against a counter, she picked at her sandwich while the rest of her senses are honed for his arrival. Chances are that he still doesn't trust her, not the way they had been getting along during the Kugelblitz. As loathed as Lila may be to do it, she may have to drop some big information to gain a little more. They may never get to total trust and that's fine with her, as part of it would be on her end. Getting along with her parents' killer is already hard enough sometimes, regardless of who gave him that order.
"The Merchant has miniature teleportation devices," she said in lieu of a greeting when Five appeared. No need for such niceties between them. "It's how we got to Ellethia and back."
Have some red string for the board of conspiracies, Five. On the island counter, there's a white uniform that indeed matches what the guy in white was wearing during the Unwinding. Her gift to him so the old man can see it for himself rather than rely on her or Constantine's word.

Lila is putting this fact in Five's hands over someone who knows what it's like to be a parent, a mother. That should bring up so many questions in anyone's mind. Of course, if Diego was still here, he'd be the one she was telling instead of Five, but here they are.
If there's one thing she's learned about this family, it's that they're more hurt by all the little lies and secrets over the physical violence done to them. Lila had been ready to go through all of the Hargreeves to get to Five on that farm, but they'd hardly blinked when she rejoined them in the new timeline.
"Fine. I'll let you know if I get picked for a special assignment." No hesitation to agree to more than just accepting errands from the Merchant. She doesn't know if anyone else would give her secret tasks, but might as well include them too if they're going to make this deal. Having as much information as possible before stepping into trouble would only benefit her. "Just don't expect me to sit out everything because it's dangerous."
She might be pregnant, but Lila is also a trained assassin and would only rebel harder if Five (or anyone) decides to treat her like a fragile piece of glass. If he can respect that, then she can accept when he tells her to stay out of certain things.

Lila likely weighed the risks of telling him ahead of time. No matter what she blames him for, she's well aware of what he'll do for family. At the moment, he's her best bet to survive, so in that way it makes perfect sense that he'd be the one she came to.
"That isn't really an option." They're in a world where the undead might outnumber the living, where magic and curses are rampant, and mind control is a real problem. Everywhere they go is dangerous. He's got no idea how to plan for the months ahead, but he doubts he can keep her in a locked room until the baby comes. The second he got close she'd just mimic his powers and turn this into a bigger headache.
Hell of a way to form a truce.
"I've done the same thing you did. When I first got here, the Merchant asked me for a favor, and I did it in hopes of learning something." He hesitates in saying more, because he's been cursed ever since. "There's always something he leaves out."
