"What you call pride-" The woman states, speaking in a soft, coarse, defiant tone. "I call intelligence..." as her words linger Lee can see the hesitation and thought written on the woman's face. He may say something to still convince her though, given his experience, he's just as likely to give her a moment to sort her apparent thoughts.

He's trying to trick me.

He's just trying to help.

He knows who I am.

He's suspicious, but given how I look it makes sense.

I've been alive too long to believe he's acting out of the kindness of his heart, it's all a set up.

I've been alive too long to not be able to see his intentions aren't hostile...

The woman let's out an intially quiet, but growing groan in which she stands up as it gets louder. "uuuuuUUUGH FINE. But if I get even the slightest HINT that you're trying to pull something I'm running."

While there are plenty of dry remarks he could make at her expense, Lee just nods. "That's fine." The Skyshield registers her once again as she steps out away from the building and into the street, her current wet condition not worsened by the storm. Speaking of. "I'm Sid. Sid Lee Holloway." As he talks he slips off the long brown coat he's wearing and offers it to her. "You already guessed that I'm with the government in some form, right? You don't have to worry about me pulling tricks to get you arrested. I'm old school. Prefer settling differences and problems with words over a fight. Heh, I'm too old to be hunting for glory."

Even with his peaceable talk it's impossible to miss the Cannon strapped at his side now that the coat wasn't covering it. Gsalt does not manufacture for humans. They make weapons to be used only for the superior clone soldiers of the Senate's clone armies and special forces. Firing the weapon once would be enough to destroy his arm and shoulder, let alone fire it one handed. He doesn't seem bothered by her seeing the weapon, or hiding the next piece of tech he casually uses. By inputting something into his left cuff an ripple travels down the casual suit and vest he's wearing, a ripple that renders the gun invisible once it passes over it. A basic precaution so that no one on the street gets antsy, but clearly establishing himself to be some sort of advanced law enforcement. The coat he offered to Celecia is moddable as well. As soon as she takes it she can feel the cloth rippling in her grip, the entire coat shrinking from Lee's size to hers.
