The name meant something to him, he'd been able to draw the right connections, and that kept her from running because there were pieces here that she'd been striving to put together for years. He was also more tolerable when he wasn't pretending to be nice, like some kindly parental figure she'd never had. The truth was that kindness in general made her uncomfortable, and especially from someone she knew had hurt people, it was even harder to tolerate.

He doesn't really give her anything, and she watches him hawkishly for a few beats. Trading something for nothing is a bad deal, but her options are pretty slim. Either breaking down the idea of this being a conversation and trying to opt for something more qid pro quo, but she doesn't think that would be even, either, or giving him a sliver and seeing if he bites. So she gives him a piece, something small, which she's gambling that he probably already knows, and decides to see what he does with it.]
