She doesn't.

He's taller and larger than she is, but the only relevance their size discrepancy has to her ties into assessment and how she'd disable him if need be; there's something very self-contained about her, and a level of confidence and comfort in herself (in her ability) that underscores that calm, measured way she interacts. It's increasingly clear now that she's looking at him as a potential inconvenience, not a potential threat - that kind of arrogance probably isn't unfamiliar, either. She has the decency, at least, not to make a show or fuss of it.

Coat discarded on a stool at the kitchen island, she puts the kettle on, for a bit of incongruous domesticity. Then, “And you are?”

He's already got her name. Several of them, in fact. Turnabout.
