Parker's standing on the ledge: well, as close to the ledge as she can due to that stupid force field. Likely, as others did before her, she's considering a way down. No, Parker isn't suicidal, but more scaling off / jumping off / flying off buildings is something of a specialty for her.

She's in deep concentration. It doesn't mean she won't know when someone's coming up on her, but still, doing the mental calculations as to what would be needed if she could get around the force field, is important business.

"I'd kill a man for a soldering iron, actually," he says humorously, if not in bad taste.

It takes him a moment to catch her meaning. "He was lost?" he says, before he realizes she means that she must have known him before either of them had come here. Doesn't correct himself though. Kind of wants to hear how she'll react.

"Don't think they offer that." She didn't get the joke.

"He's never lost. He was here when I got here."

"Yeah, no one seems too keen on letting me have one. It's like they think I'll cause trouble, or something," he shrugs, with a bit of a grin.

They'd be right, of course.

"So you knew him from before, I take it?" he's pretty sure she did, but he can't just assume.

"Anything can cause trouble, if you know how to use it." Parker's been thinking of all sorts of everyday things to mess the place up.

"Yup." Nothing else. Eliot is Eliot, which makes him one of the few people she'll openly admit to knowing, and not feel the need to explain it. Unfortunately, that doesn't help in conversation.
