As often the case, Five inevitably gave away more than he learned. Even expecting that, he narrows his eyes when she points it out. It's typical that he can provide genuinely useful information and still get sass for it.

"If that makes you feel better. As a general rule, I tend to question everyone who crawls out of a lake and shows up at our door." Someone has to. It's ridiculous how easy they are to infiltrate, but it's not like he trusts the people he's known longer either. He'll always insist on doing it himself. "I'm sure everyone else has been welcoming enough to make up for it."

That's not to say he doesn't believe her story. He just finds it best that she knows where she stands with him.

"I'll leave you to it." All smiles. Turning the subject to him is the quickest way to get him to go, it seems, and he starts to move past her. He's learned enough to satisfy him for now, but he leaves that door open in case he changes his mind.

"I won't be far, whenever I'm needed."
