She tries it out, grabbing hard on the chains and dangling her legs down as she leans forward some, until the balance shifts and she drops forward. ...No, that can't have been it. She lets herself drop to the ground, landing on hands and toes, and stands up to sit back on the swing.
"What do you mean by "pump until it gets going"?"
She regularly hangs out with people who are professional criminals. He might look shady, but really, almost everyone that she deals with does, and those that don't are often the really dangerous ones. Sure, there are regular citizens and people that just want to survive honestly, but she typically only interacts with them briefly or from a distance.
The last question surprises her for a moment. Sure, you will get asked that in better residential or business areas, but this place doesn't actually look like a better area. She expected to not be bothered for being out alone.
"My mother is dead. I'm living with an aunt." Not a lie. She knows for a fact that Chantalle is an aunt to someone. Also a grandmother, but while "an aunt" is a reasonable way to phrase it, people expect you to speak of "my grandmother". And that would be a lie. Not that she has issues with lying, she just prefers not to. You never know where the next truth checking magic user is located.
