"Someone did attempt to order take-out from me." Dry. Yes, he's noticed; he sent someone to investigate that order misfire, even - and it's turned up nothing suspicious, an honest technical hiccup. Which is, it seems, quite unusual.
Her coyness in contrast to her context is somewhat charming. Vicious never feels like she's trying to lie to him, instead retaining whatever ticks of normalcy she fancies. He can appreciate that - like he can appreciate her scars, her slightly uneven gaze. Perfectly polished glamor has never done it for him; she is acceptable company, while working.
But it's her competency and not anything else that gets him to answer: "Muddled ones. They could be at a loss." He isn't dismissive, but he doesn't seem inclined to worry, either. The obvious implication would be that what's bad for the Militia is good for them, but Vicious knows that's not always going to be the case - sometimes you want the cops to stay consistent, even if opportunities to exploit their disarray can be highly advantageous. "Have you investigated past the surface technically?"
