"Can't do that in good faith. Already put forward capital on getting the thing, so, letting you waltz out with it would also be stealing." At least that was the angle Nichols was looking at it from. Marrow's motivations seemed much more opaque, the girl deriving no joy from the fight and uncaring about the potential profit loss. It was almost as if she was fighting so brutally just because.
"Central, huh. Real big shot you are." Saying it AS she used Yogu like a makeshift pillow flail added to the absurdity of the situation, the reinforced concrete buckling under the impact and showering the pair in fine dust. Marrow squinted slightly at Yogu's reply to her offer, responding: "I wasn't trying to. I've no idea if you had the money but defaulted to punching first, so I figured to ask." This was the point where other criminals in Marrow's shoes, molded by poverty and the need to fight tooth and nail, would feel a wave of empathy and potentially even give Yogu's bike back. Unfortunately for the brash boy, Marrow did not do that.
Fittingly he had launched his own attack, empowered by a sudden burst of energy. Nichols kept a wide berth as Yogu closed in on the half-Saiyan, gut punch striking true and eliciting a slight involuntary wheeze from the victim. His secondary goal of shattering the girl's calm seems to have failed entirely, amethyst eyes sliding up to meet Yogu's as she recovered from the initial shock. A dull, aching pain originating from the impact site continued to wrack her body, but Marrow didn't show any signs of discomfort. In a flash she'd attempt to do the same with a quick step forward, a standard but still strong punch hooked towards Yogu's side.
