Without missing a beat, Rita both responds and explains. "That's cuz this place is pretty safe. No big stakes and nobody's dying unless they decide to take up Little Glen's offers unprepared." Little Glen isn't all that little in the picture, but he's human and Big Glenn looks he's had a storied past as a leg-breaking troll. Incidentally, at some point that means that Rita's probably going to get fake licensing again for all those little things a good para-pest exterminator would want to have.<br/><br/>Which is how she justified a lot of things in conversation. All the immediate danger? Rogue paracritters. Long absence? Some of those critters were more owned than they seemed. Lapine's presence? Helped Rita have a place to lay low while the whole cover incident was supposed to blow over.<br/><br/>It even scores some extra wings, which aren't bad. Not the greatest, but Rita did say that she usually went for pasta. Two tables over, somebody ordered past that is being poured into a cheese wheel before being served, and Rita notes that when she had some spare money, she went for that and a side of play.
