[Law is so relieved that Rosinante has the right words to say, he tends to be too blunt himself or doesn't know how to respond in a way that sounds sincere. Rosinante can fake the right demeanor, he's a good actor when the situation calls for it. And his words bring visible relief to the woman standing before them, her tightly pursed lips and wrung hands releasing, shoulders slumping a bit as she speaks again.]
"Thank you, thank you so much! Her birthday is on the twentieth. I know that doesn't give you much time, but if you need anything please let me know. Some of the locals might not be very interested in speaking, but just say that Mrs. Graves sent you if they give you any trouble. And if you need food, rooms to stay, funding, I'll give you whatever I can! Just let me know what I can do for you.".
[Law frowns. It's the seventh. It doesn't give them much time at all, if this is something legitimate. So he stands, they might as well get right to it.] We need to take your research with us. [His voice is calm and firm, it doesn't leave room for argument. Not that he thinks she'd give him any trouble anyway.] "Of course! Whatever you need!" [Law looks to Rosinante, he's ready to leave now. It'll be safer and easier to speak away from here anyway. Rosinante's gift helps a good deal, but Law will still feel more comfortable discussing this elsewhere.] "If my colleague doesn't have any more questions for you, we'll be heading out."
