[ Harley reaches up to brush her fingers over the back of her neck where the government tracking implant should have been disabled. Should have been. Well. Shit. ]
Interesting.
[ She tips her head and gives him another long, considering look. ]
I'm not gonna fuck you just for letting me crash at your place for a few hours, if that's what you think will happen. What are you trying to get out of this?
[There's a momentary flicker of disappointment there but he had been standing nude outside her window. He was already banking on some sort of rejection and at least externally it doesn't seem to wound him for very long. Instead the softer look continues.]
That's alright. I can be patient for you, darling.
[For a while at least. Particularly if she doesn't mind hiding away at his place.]
Trust me, no one would think to look for you where I live.
[Does that sound nice? Ominous? Take your pick. Either way he flicks his gaze to the broken window.]
You want to go out the door or that way?
[Considering she's hiding and all maybe out the window is better.]
Neither. After a crash like that, somebody's looking this way already.
[ She pulls a crowbar from her bag and hands it to him, zipping the bag up after and hefting it onto her shoulder. ]
We take the service stairs down to the basement. This place and the one next to it used to have connecting doors and if we're lucky we can get into an old prohibition smuggling tunnel that goes all the way down the block.
[Oooo, a crowbar. He looks at it in momentary surprise and then just takes it in stride apparently. Or maybe a little more than in stride, he seems very pleased to be of use to her.]
You sure know a lot about this place.
[Since she's given him the crowbar he assumes she means to put him to work on said doors. He hooks the crowbar over his shoulder and dutifully follows her.]
[ She shrugs and leads the way to the stairs, not looking back to make sure he's following. He does or he doesn't. Makes no difference to her. ]
I've had to sneak around down there before. Some parts are real grimy. You got hot water at your place, don'tcha?
[ The fact that hot water isn't a given for her may be revealing a little too much about her general quality of life. But hey, she gets by! And if he's going to stalk her, she might as well make use of him. ]
I call first dibs on the shower. Now be a sweetheart and go pull that fire alarm for a distraction. Breaking the doors will be loud and I want that noise cover.
[ She squats to get a better look at the lock keeping them out of the staff only area. It's designed to need a key card but she can probably smash through with a little creativity. ]

You can come hide at my place if you want, darling. I'd love to have you as a guest.

Well, your love of course.

Anyway. Yeah, I'll go to your place for a while. A little while.
