Steph shrugs, as if it doesn't matter all that much, "S'alright, it was better when he wasn't around, anyway." That sentence is full of unspoken things, but she's not too concerned if Brandon picks up on them. Shit like that happens, it's just a part of life.

After a second, she adds, "Oh, and I'm a gynmast, hence the whole... tree thing."

She'd decided early on to make that part of her story, it doesn't raise too much suspicion (plenty of people do gymnastics) and it explains the serious callous problem her hands have, as well as her muscles, in case she ever wears something fitting or short sleeved.
