[Being clever is her strong suit, and of course she knows subduing him isn't a problem...though the fight will be annoying. She isn't particularly the type to play with her food outside of playing a mental game.
Claudia gives Lestat a final glance before she goes on her way, heading toward the target, not about to give him the satisfaction of a "yes, sir" as she follows his instructions. At first, the mark pays her no mind. And by the time he sees her walking his way, she's smoothed out her features to seem innocent, young, lost. Her arms fold lightly over themselves, and when she catches him eyeing her, she dares to catch his gaze.
The young man puts an arm around her and steers her into a back alley. And once they're far enough into it, she puts her delicate hand on his and twists it around his back, forcing him onto his knees as her other hand covers up his scream. Her mouth close to his ear, he tries to get his knife with his free hand.]

Claudia gives him the benefit of a double-take, like any apprehension she might have felt vanishes when she sees that he's fair-featured. Having walked past him, she turns back around and comes back. It's a hushed conversation, but of course Lestat will be able to hear it: Claudia being every bit the naive ingénue as she asks him for help finding the elevator back to the Up. He seems to consider her slight stature along with what he might be able to steal from her, and ultimately agrees to show her a shortcut.

I wouldn't try that if I were you, Monsieur.

[Lestat comes out of the shadows, having tailed them this whole way. He's not actually watching them and is instead on his phone. Texting.]
The next part of this is to focus on his heartbeat. Listen to it now. Do you hear it?
