I hardly think it strange, and it seems quite a leap to make such an assumption.
[ A new word to add to her vocabulary. The answer to this is yes, when necessary, but Finch doesn't need to know that, because right now it is anything but necessary. ]
Unless they gave me just cause otherwise, I would hope to part from them with both our lives intact. Although, if they're a serial killer, that may be difficult, hm?
[ That likely stems from some paranoia and distrust, but he's not wrong. Some of the fiercest people she knew had the kindest faces. ]
I suppose. I will not lose sleep if I last the hunt without finding them, as that means they are also not engaging or... [ Already dead, but thinking about another life being taken for a game will just upset her again. There's a brief pause, but she interjects before he's able to get a word in. ]
Do you think I am foolish for wanting to believe the best of people?
[ She cannot even argue with him, because she knows he's right. Farrah frowns, glancing away to pretend to be more interested in picking at something underneath her fingernail. ]
I've been hurt by many, but I still don't think it's possible for me to be suspicious of everyone I come across.

[- opportunity to shank, he trails off. He gives a little shrug.]
And if you never find him, isn't that just as good?

[But there's something to that?]

[He worries for people like her. Good souls, through and through.]
You remind me of my sister. She's like that too.
