There are times when it might have been a little bit of a thrill, some minor victory, to startle Deadpool. He is, after all, someone who so often has a surprising amount of say in the storyline and an ability to impact things far beyond his expected scope. The problem is, she's not trying to score points or even pull a trick. This is a strange world, and whatever complications he might bring with him, Jennifer has already decided they're on the same team until he proves otherwise. She doesn't trust him, exactly, but she trusts him to be himself.
So, she regrets, a little, the flash of discomfort that comes with him looking away and even more the lie. A generous interpretation of their surroundings could be that maybe they were here to sort out the important truths and lies.
"This doesn't seem like a place where the answers come with killing." A pause as she looks at a few of the people in masks. "Humiliation, maybe, but not killing. Also, maybe don't try to murder the people who have a connection to the woman behind the curtain yet."
She reaches out to give his shoulder a brief squeeze. Taking a little comfort even as she gives it. "I appreciate that. It seems like it might be important here."
