[There's a slight pause. There's no reason to be cagey about her profession. Everyone already knew who and what she was back in her neck of space. He already got a hint to her ex-military past so mercenary is a very reasonable guess. He must deal with them a lot since he's seems to exercising a lot of healthy caution at the idea. Very reasonable for a thief.]

I prefer Bounty Hunter.

[Even if mercenary is technically probably more correct, she dislikes the term. They generally have less altruistic intentions.]

I don't usually go after small time thieves, so I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.

[That said, her dry, almost flippant tone takes on a hard edge as she suggests not to worry--so long as he gives her no reason to. It's a subtle warning that he should not mistake her altruism for weakness or nativity.

It's also a subtle jab and probe. He's obviously more than just a small time thief. Not with that kind of visor or rifle, or the fact he's sitting up and slowly coming back to life as they talk.]
