Offhanded, a passive acceptance of her added input. There's something to be said for how nice it is, having someone else around that can actually help for a change. Sure, Reaper and Amélie are smart in their own elements, and they can— from time to time— lend a solid hand in her work. But it isn't like this: the kind of sharpened, tactical processing that mirrors her own - a seamless symbiosis.
Well, mostly seamless. They still disagree from time to time.
"So the Faceless is trying to box us in." Business as usual, right? Her attention shifts, eyeline falling on that marked-off anomaly instead. "Nothing we can't handle."
The tradeoff is worth it: a functional ally that can be saved is a card in their own pocket. One they sorely need without any other immediate options for defensive buffers.
And then, after a beat, she belatedly adds (in reference to the start of their conversation): "Azúcar."
Cortana is the one figurative soul in the Legion aside from Gabe that Sombra won't bar from either knowing or mentioning her real name (mostly because with the kind of hacking Cortana is capable of, she can't keep her old records off limits). But if that name gets used within earshot of anyone from Overwatch— anyone allied with Overwatch— she's screwed out of one exceptionally long con.
That's a risk she's jumped through a painfully long list of steps to avoid, even here.
