Lily had to be careful with the man. Not because he had rejected her idea to work together, but because the expression on his face frightened her more than it should. 

"Alright, that's fine. Whatever you need me to do." She grabbed one of the cuffs and locked it around her left wrist, then she did the same with the other one locking it around her right wrist. "See? I can follow orders. It's not that complicated." Lily was selling herself to him at this point, but from now on she would do whatever needed to be done in order to get away unscathed. She stared at the man with an undecipherable look before speaking again. 

"Shall we go now?" she asked, walking towards the same fire escape she had used to get to the rooftop. "You might be able to catch Red Claw if he's still around, and you and I both would love to watch him suffer, wouldn't we?"

She smiled a little bit at that last part, which she had truly meant. Anyone that threatened her life for a reason as terrible as Red Claw's deserved nothing short of a terrible death.
