It is not the streets that we would be allying after all, and hence I would not be expecting you to guide me around personally. Although, your approach already speaks lengths of you...” He is aware that might sound threatening or aggressive, so he assures her. “I am not saying that judgementally, merely as a curiosity.”“My preference would be that instead of having to baby sit me I could tag along with what you do in the meantime. At least that is what seems most efficient given the time limit and the circumstances. If you will not have that, I will manage somehow with the safer town of Cabarda.” At the last sentence he lets his tone show that he indeed thinks that less satisfactory but he won't whine if that happens. Meanwhile, he thinks he shows enough of himself to seem less like a burden. People see what they want to see, so he is open to putting on a professional attitude, or mask, so to speak, and a little insight into his wit and thinking, to push this first impression a bit in a positive direction. First impressions often matter a lot, but it seems especially significiant in this situation, so he is especially assertive even if the easy and comfortable choice would be going along with her first offer.</blockquote>
