He's smart enough that he's probably seen why she would say that, so she doesn't bother. She also doesn't bother hiding the Submissive mark on her face. If he hasn't figured out exactly what that means yet, he will soon. And he probably realizes why that might explain how those meatheads thought she was fair game.
She'd proven otherwise, of course, but that was hardly the point.
"Nothing 'already' about it. I've been here almost half a sweep. They usually aren't quite this aggressive, but honestly I think it's an improvement." Let them come at her with fists and weapons instead of snide remarks behind her back. She can handle the former so much more easily.
