Scarlett was definitely going to start talking herself into leaving again if she was going to have to talk to people. But at least the woman who had walked through her radius was obviously human, not a bit of reaction of magic.
"Yeah. A friend that works here." She was a fan of using pencils as hair sticks herself but she didn't usually also have one behind her ear. "I don't like to bother him while he's working so I thought I'd wait out here."
And since she didn't know what was going on with him she hadn't wanted to crowd him either.
