[Which is all smarm and charm - or should be, though there's a distinctly hollow quality to all of it. It's all just small talk and they both down it which is part of the question gets a pause. But also because she's never bothered to ask before, just like he's never bothered to press her either. Up until right this second, it hadn't really mattered. But she's asking and he's deciding it does now.
The old standby is, of course, 'hired muscle' or 'acquisitions' which is just vague enough to keep from being entirely incriminating. But it's a cheap sort of spark notes version of the real answer.]
Other than laying people out? Not much. I'm a good shot, fair with controlled explosives and card tricks. You know, the usual bits and bobs for con work. [It's a straight answer, played off as simple though his tone's flat and he isn't looking at her.] Don't ask me to drive a getaway car though.
