Because "monster attack" could mean him, and her making a quick exit could mean..... whatever the fuck she actually can do, and things would be so much easier if they were just two normal trash teenagers hanging out instead of whatever the hell they are.
...And now he's just staring at her and it's totally not awkward at all! ]
