Straight to the point - Lisa couldn't berate him for mincing words. By now, the girl knew to be careful; she didn't show any immediate desire to drink from her own wine glass. His comment about field hockey did draw a laugh.
"Think of it like football. You need the big guys for defensive purposes, but there's something to be said for someone who's fast without sacrificing sturdiness." Which, of course, had been her - a fact that had apparently gone unchanged from high school. Ready to surprise, but hardly a pushover. His second question threw her off, however. The last person she wanted to talk about, let alone think about, was Jackson. After four painful days, she was ready to let it be over. Apparently that was too much to ask.
"It was... painfully unpleasant. Never a dull moment, really." Whether that was a good or a bad thing, her voice didn't betray. "He probably doesn't want me saying anything," the fact that she considered shutting up when there was no one here to see her and call her out on doing otherwise made her stomach churn. The Joker wasn't someone whose well being had to be watched out for - not like Maggie or Clint. Giving him information wasn't dangerous. "Someone came to kill him."
