[ It doesn't take long after he arrives for Root to come visiting and introduce herself. Harold gave her some warnings, which just makes her more curious. She also knows Carver enough at this point to have certain expectations formed, and she wants to see how right her hypotheses are. (Carver has probably given Bossie some warnings about her, for that matter. He'd be silly not to, and he did not seem silly.)
She comes swanning up to the subway entrance and stops in front of the vending machine. She stares unerringly and acutely directly into the surveillance camera. ]
Knock knock, [ she says brightly.
Root is a slender woman on the taller side dressed in a cutesy cotton summer dress. Her hair is perfectly curled into artful tumbles and she has a discreet little purse just large enough to contain a Taser, a handgun, and the secondary network device Harold had put together. A girl always needs the essentials. ]
I don't want you to let me in, [ she clarifies, dropping the pout. ] I want you to come out.
Can't hide in your apocalypse bunker all the time!
[ She's heard and/or guessed that they have some major PTSD going on, so Root is perfectly deliberate in trying to pry Bossie out of their safehouse. ]

[But he drawls the question with a smile. He's curious, and he has a hunch he knows who this is.
He's not going to just open up the door, though.]

If you have to ask, this is going to be a really disappointing conversation for me.
[ People that can't keep up with her -- which is most people -- are boring. ]

[He can't see weapons on her but he would be very disappointed if they weren't there all the same. The girl has a reputation.]

What are we going to do outside my cozy apocalypse bunker?

Depends what you're up for. I have to admit, I'm not really a dinner and a movie sort of girl.
