[b]Charlotte Dyer[/b] Oh, there were so many options to just plain screw with this guy... she's string him along for a bit, and then tell the truth. At his question of where her friend had gone('Anne' disappearing had in fact made the situation all the more ripe for her fun), Charlotte gave a feigned look of complete and total puzzlement. She was, in general, good at feigning various emotions. Confusion being one of them. She titled her head to the side, her mouth slightly open and her eyes wide, blinking several times as she regarded the man for a few moments. "... My... friend? But... I'm the only one here, Mister! Who are you talking about...?" Oh, this was just too fun. A good way to unwind from tracking Doctor Pleasant and dealing with these thugs. There were other, better ways to relax and unwind, but that didn't detract from the method of screwing with someone for a bit. She'd have to ask about that shield when she broke the truth to him, too. But for now, time to play the innocent, confused child. "...
