"Fitting for a spy, I suppose," Greta muses. She isn't put off by it; it seems the sort of thing he wouldn't share if he intended to lie to her, and there's not much reason for that, anyway. Spywork sounds thrilling, but not very... Darrow-esque. Especially not for someone who stands out as much in a crowd as he does. (She can only assume that there are far more people of his stature back where he comes from.)
