"Dazzling as always, you said it yourself," she tells him crisply. Well, he will notice, of course, that she wasn't exempt from the catastrophe of recent weeks, but is that really a reason to act that way? She's not trying to convince him, exactly- she just finds it easier to act untouchable.

She hands over her coat and then focuses all her attention on him; "Busy, though. People have been distinctly stressed out." She gives him a wicked smile, eyes glinting; "When things get difficult, people need fantasies- cue me."

Maybe she's being flippant about the crisis- but she has to be flippant about it, it's the way she deals with these things. Anyway, it's true. A number of her clients are distinctly influential, burdened with the job of rebuilding the city and her workings and her people; she's been taking them outside of her working hours at the Vault, taking the time and going to the trouble in order to prove herself...invaluable. Worth protecting. Necessary. And therefore shielded.
