[histruename]

[All that earns her is a flat stare. He's pretty used to traveling like this, and he doesn't get lost all that easily. It's just weird she's so bent on helping him, giving him things, playing up the whole mysterious act. All it does is make him more and more leery of her. People like this always seem to lead him into trouble.

Okay. Maybe it's time to cut the crap.]

Listen, I appreciate the offer, but I don't know why you're so set on helping me. And what are you doing out here, anyway? Hunting can't be all that great.

[She has to be out here doing something more productive than sitting out in the desert handing people maps.

He's not even clear if she's one of them, a Foreigner. Before he'd been so determined about finding Liz to even care. But what she had implied earlier made it sound like she wasn't, and she doesn't look much like a kedan to him.]

[wroughtiron]

I'm not helping you.

[She says that with a slight nose-wrinkle.]

I'd help anyone I found, not just you. Kedan too, if they came out this far.

[SO THERE.]

And no, the hunting is atrocious, but I don't have anywhere else.

[Her tone is actually a tiny bit angry now, whoops.]

[histruename]

[He holds up his normal hand in a peaceful gesture because jeez, lady. Don't be so touchy. He has his reasons for being so suspicious.]

All right. My mistake.

[He didn't mean to sound self-absorbed, but he is pretty used to getting singled out for one reason or another. He just wants to make sure that reason isn't something he should be worried about.]

I should probably be going.

[wroughtiron]

[She glares at him a moment longer, and then relents and waves her hand in a dismissive gesture.]

Yeah, yeah. Good luck.

[histruename]

You too.

[Then he's on his way.]
