Peggy's been watching the whole thing with the eye of a critical woman who's used to seeing madness. Typically, it lurks in Howard's eyes, just out of sight, but she's seen it more recently in both Whitney Frost and Jason Wilkes, enough to scare her into being overtly cautious when it comes to dealing with anyone with that particular look in their eyes. She's just not sure she ever expected it to be Riza. "What's the matter?" she asks, trying to remain calm. "Where do we need to go?"

Humouring her, for the moment, Peggy evaluates the area around them as if doing recon, trying to make sure that she's taking into account all the signs, but there's no snapping of twigs, nothing but the faint sound in the distance of the people in the village. Here, in the woods, it's just Peggy and Riza, and there's a knife. That sharp edge is making Peggy nervous and she wishes that it weren't the case.

"What's the matter?"
