[Abby isn't surprised when he assumes she's a child. That very assumption is partially why she's survived as long as she has. People tend to let their guards down around children much more easily than adults, after all.
The question she has now is whether or not to correct him. On one hand, it could cause him to turn against her rather than give her the information she needs. On the other hand, though, she doesn't like the idea of someone fighting her battles for her and he seems like the type who might do just that if he really believes she's a child being targeted by a demon.
Ultimately, it's a question of taking the easy way out or doing the right thing and dealing with whatever follows. It only takes her a second to decide what she's going to do.]
I'm not a child. I just look like one. I have for a very long time. [a pause, a vague hope he won't press her for anything more than that, and she focuses back on her reason for contacting him] And I can't stay away from her. She's [her lip curls a bit] trying to seduce someone I care about. I can't let that happen.
