Absinthe goes from looking from her chicken to Ardyn as a joking comparison, to looking from Ardyn back to her chicken now with a look of dude, are you also seeing this shit? Then, looking at the chicken with the disappointed realisation that of course you don't, you're a chicken. Chickens don't understand bad vibes the way she does, daughter of petty criminals, growing up in a way where getting what you want meant taking it from other people- this sort of eloquently shady vibe, in the Crimes industry, sort of makes Ardyn sound like an industry expert, you know? It's still not good because the Crimes industry kind of sucks for everyone involved, but you gotta respect the hustle? You gotta wonder about his 5 secrets to success (in crime)?

Anyway, Absinthe looks at the guy and she is a little wary but somehow, still genuinely curious enough about how he ticks to play ball.

“What do you suggest to 'persuade' them?”

She doesn't really see how the chickens are stubborn when they're pretty docile at the moment but like whatever. Ardyn can propose some sort of chicken-based drug cartel if he wants, she might not agree to it since she's not super into career crime at the moment, but she'll hear him out. It's fineeeeee.
