Body language is a complicated thing, and one Anne can't claim to be an expert at deciphering, but she can get enough insight from his reaction to that to know it's a big deal. And so she lets it drop, quickly, just giving him a quick nod in a response to his thanks. Because she has things she'd rather not talk about, too. She understands. "No problem."

It's impossible, really, to fault him for being too surprised to drop it. Especially because she knows it's not the kind of thing that really gets thought about, especially not when it comes to people like prison guards, people who are supposed to be on the right side of the law. "Yeah, doesn't happen a lot, but my..." she clears her throat. "I heard about a guard who got attacked by another guard at a prison in my state a few years ago." Anne can't bring herself to tell the whole story, especially right now. Grasping at the less intense subject, she nods. "Yeah, they do. Makes me feel like it might just be human nature, as shitty as that sounds."
