Distrct Her For A Second To Buy Yourself Time To Think, Then Just Say Thats The Logical Way To Do It...

You don't know how to reply to this for a second, so you Ju-Jitsu the conversation away from the question for a moment to get time to think. "I'm sorry, terribly rude of me!" You bow slightly at the waist making a complex, (and quite fake), hand gesture "Ali the Alley Ambassador, at your side; and your name honored patroness?" You bullshit while spinning the gears of your mind at a breakneck pace to explain why you can think like a player, which you suspect would be, BAD, to reveal just yet...

"A thousand pardons Ali, I'm Grenada Corizon Columbia Juliet Tombstone the Ranger, but my friends call me Cori."

The break has bought you the time you needed, and you have an excuse ready, thank the gods. "Well met Cori, its a pleasure making your acquaintance. As we were saying, it is just the logical way to do it, it would not make sense to zigzag around these five points like you were drawing a pentagram, so it's best to plan your route in advance."

"Huh, I guess." Cori still seems to be suspicious.

"It's like second nature to me, you see all the guard posts on the map I have to avoid?" You blather further, hoping she buys it.

"Oh, yeah, your pathing AI must be Hella advanced to dodge those every day." She says with a laugh.

"Yes, in any case, we need to plot a route that lets us check out each of the five alleys and puts both of us not too far from our respective places of residence at the end of the day since I'm pretty sure that this is going to take all day."
