You choose [, he says, but it's not how he'd word the thought if given the tools of a familiar language. 'Only if you give me a reason to' comes closer to the intention, but to say that would require unmasking himself as a living anachronism, something that doesn't quite fit, even within the group that was pulled in here.
So the sentiment is expressed simply and clumsily, filtered through the bottleneck of his proficiency in this shitty language.
He considers for a moment, then slowly walks to the dresser on what was presumably intended to be his 'side' of the room, gun still leveled at the center of her body, and pulls out the first bulky sweater he can find. He tosses it at her feetβit's an ugly brick red and probably slightly too big for her, but it should accomplish its purpose (that is, to add another layer). What she's wearing is nothing compared to the assorted lacy... things the women of the 2000s sleep in, but somewhere behind the stress of a stranger in his home, it still feels decidedly inappropriate to be standing in the same room as an unfamiliar woman in nothing but her pajamas. He can't imagine she's thrilled about it either.
He gestures minutely with the gun, a small movement of the wrist. ]
