Beau shrugged. Truthfully, he saw nothing strange about striking up conversation. Small talk could be like pulling teeth, but being polite was just how he was raised, and down here that meant conversing. At least she wasn't trying to talk about the weather. As for the mention of it being personal? "Everything's personal in this town. Most of us have been here so long, it's all middle school grudges and no good dirty rotten pig stealing great great grandfathers." Ok, so that's just from Holes, but whatever.
"Trust me, though. Didn't need to tell me you're new. Spotted that a mile away." Even if he doesn't know everyone in town personally, you get used to seeing faces. New ones stick out. All things considered, he doesn't feel too easy about new faces. "It's not a bad place, though, when there's not some homicidal maniac runnin' around. You've just got great timing."
Laurie hummed when he confirmed her suspicions, in her paperwork she'd argued her case with the BAU that in a town so small it'd be a sensitive topic because everyone knew everyone. If they wanted to cover something up they'd be likely to work together or if this was an outside source then it wouldn't be too hard to whittle it down. Part of the agreement was that they were both undercover, to pretend to be married in order to not give away their work but also to integrate into the community and get more information.
''Am I really that obvious or is it because you don't see new faces all that much?'' Laurie asked while masking it as best as she could to appear as a newcomer interested in the town she'd call 'home' when in reality she needed to know if she was blending in. She couldn't wait until he arrived and she wasn't doing this all alone.
''Yeah, the homicidal maniac has put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth'' Turning to Beau she assessed the male, tilting her head to the side. ''You have any idea who could be doing this?''
