"Pinky swear?" she repeated with a raised eyebrow at his hand, not sure what he wanted her to do. Still, his own earnestness made her think he really could be trusted.
She hoped so. Booker was going to be upset already. She knew it was his fault.
"Thank you," she said, offering him a small smile. She starts to walk again, her gaze more forward than toward him. She wasn't sure if she could look at him as he said it. "Look, I - there are reasons I don't really talk about this. I hope you'll understand it isn't about you or anyone here. It's just where I come from, Booker and I were being hunted...and then I ended up here. We've been trying to keep as invisible as possible since then, in case the ones coming after us end up here, too."
