"Well, you picked me up, and you haven't put me down yet. Dunno how else I would wind up here." She puts on her best Underwhelmed And Unintimidated face. It takes a little effort now, but it looks like he still thinks she has any idea what's going on. Maybe she can use this? Maybe? She can keep stalling anyway.

Every second, this "plan" is turning more and more into "stall indefinitely, hope for not getting murdered". Drat.
