Marley might have been the one to show Jeremy the way to Sanctuary, but that didn’t mean she trusted him implicitly ---in fact, it only meant that she was more suspicious of him than she would have otherwise been. If this guy turned out to be a total MONSTER, she’d be the one on the hook for it... or the little bit of her conscience that was left after surviving this long would tell her as much. Still, as self-interested as she was, she wasn’t going to leave the man out there when he could have just as easily followed her without her permission. It was better to act like she trusted him, like he didn’t make the investigator in her squirm to know more. It left her at an advantage.Â
So she sought him out, though she was casual about it, and when she found him she walked right by. As she did so, she bumped his elbow in passing and (not by accident) dropped her notebook on the ground. It was a new one, empty save for a small scrawling of ‘fuck you, snoopy.’ on the first page ---but it was a test, to see how he might approach the situation. As she waited, she held back from glancing at him, and went on past him like she hadn’t noticed anything, stopping only to offer a quick hello to someone who had recognized her.Â
