She would never admit to the fact that she felt something of a buzz when Kon remembered her name -at the time, Noell had been a fresh vampire, barely a decade into things, and Kon was, well poetry in motion really. She wasn't even offended by the comment, "Oh I would've been, if I hadn't been smart." She didn't doubt that her idiot of a maker would've gotten her and Leon killed if they'd stayed. Which was a driving force in her and Leon leaving when things got dicy.
"I'm surprisingly resourceful." No one could really deny that, Noell might not be the fastest or the smartest, but she was cunning in ways few people expected, given her short lifespan and the failings in her sire's tutelage, but she was determined to make something of herself -maybe not in accomplishments, that didn't bother her in the least, but something of a nuisance maybe, or just leave an impressive bloody mark on the world.
"Are you working?" She'd been fascinated by Kon's work at the time -mostly because she watched the elder vampire rip someone's head off- but her sire had called it distasteful and treacherous; Kon worked for werewolves at times, she hunted other vampires, it was a slight her sire didn't see past. Noell found it enticing.
