He doesn't move, just stands there, arms crossed, until the shuttlecock lands at his feet. He picks it up, walks over, and holds it out to her. "You know," he says, voice low, "you've got a lot of people watching you. Including the wrong ones." He pauses, searching her face. "Mind if I sit a while?"
