Parker's eyes got wide when Harvey asked about Spencer. It surprised her, and she wasn't sure why he'd want to know at all - it made her twitchy, like the men she approached on a job. At least there were no forks around. "Boyfriend?" She asked shaking her head. "No, no - he's nice. He dances and he showed me how to make crystals." She said quickly, that wasn't a boyfriend, at least she was pretty sure that wasn't a boyfriend. "He does magic."

Her desire not to go to jail wasn't quite the same as Harvey's, because unlike Harvey Parker was a criminal - both here and at home as far as governments were concerned. And that coupled with the fact that she was from another dimension would be more than enough for this government to make her disappear completely if they ever got their hands on her. That thought alone made her want to run, but it was knowing she could help that made her stay. At least at the start. Now it was her friends, people she liked, maybe even cared about. She couldn't just leave them.

The declaration that she was a good person caught her off guard, and her eyes snapped to Harvey trying to figure out what he was doing. "You don't know that." She told him, pressing her lips together and frowning at him. She wasn't a good person the way most people meant it, she didn't know how to be.

Parker wrapped her arms around herself just a bit, chewing on her bottom lip, she didn't want to talk anymore about what she did, or the kind of person she was or why she stayed.

In the end she really only had two options for things with Harvey. She could find something to stab him with, and given their current positions she was rather lacking in pointed objects, or she could distract him. "Can I touch your hair?" She asked, it got him away from talking about her and her life and her motivations and she had wanted to touch since she'd sat down by him.
