*Helping her up, Melody would move a bit to the side to give her some extra space. She was used to her size being larger than most with her deer half giving extra leverage, but that was something she could easily adjust if ever need be.

She'd listen to her talk about her career. Melody supposed she should have figured as much considering the Centaur was a bounty Hunter herself. Not many guards to see here besides the city gates it seemed, but Melody will find a way to make do with it. She would noticeably perk up at the mention of a Sunlight Guild. So there was one here she could look into joining for a while? That will have to be a question for later, for now, some time in the marketplace.*

"Oh I was just looking for some more equipment for the road. Food, potions, some extra supplies. You see, I'm a bounty hunter, though some tasks forces me to be out longer than planned."

*Being helped up she noticed how tall she was, in comparison to herself she felt much smaller. In truth she also had never really run into a centaur, she heard stories but now she was meeting one. Noting how Melody seemed to peak up when she mentioned a guild, perhaps she could get them another member.*

*At this point she would take her to an area of the market where gear could be bought, seeming to take her time as the area was a bit busy at this point. Their first stop would be a stall which sold a variety of weapons, looking over the weapon she seemed to be a bit close to Melody. Yet again her habit coming in strong.*

"**May I ask why you are a bounty hunter? You seem... Kind and innocent. I find It difficult to imagine you doing mercenary work**".

*Melody would follow after the woman as she lead her further into the marketplace, most of her focused on the different stalls they passed by and making sure she didn't accidentally run in to anyone. Part of her wondered if going at an earlier time would have been better. Seemed like it was too late now though, so she'd simply have to commit to it.

She'd come to a stop as Scarlet did, coming to glance at the stall they were at with a variety of weapons. Melody didn't seem the notice Scarlet standing so close to her, instead just instinctively stepping to the side to allow space in between them as she had grown used to have to constantly do this for other people so as to not accidentally step over their feet or something of the sort.

Her gaze seemed to be on the daggers for the most part while she listened to Scarlet's question.*"Well you know what they say. Don't judge a book by its cover."*She'd say in an amused tone. It was odd enough for most to see a centaur alone with her not adding bounty hunting on top of it.*"I used to work in law enforcement back at home for a while until I decided to move to this Capitol. Since I was out of work from leaving the place I was registered in, I just decided to help out other places where I could with bounty hunting for criminals that had been on the loose for a little too long."
Etta
*Noted Melody moving to the side yet another moment of her baser self kicking in, she was used to this naturally yet she was unsure why she did It. Perhaps It was her mothers doing somewhere along her life, she questioned many things her mother did yet found herself acting much the same. Her eyes focusing on Melody now as she would speak.*

"**Well... The saying is accurate. I cannot deny I have a drive for violence. Or perhaps that is my frustration of being struck with a fatal illness. And having to be turned into... This. I envy that you had a home... Mine was taken from me before I could even walk. My... Mother as I call her raised me... And was... Who turned me**".

*Considering the topic was brought up she might as well share her own upbringing some, her tone was hiding under It a sense of anger and frustration. But she seemed to cheer up again after speaking, the moment coming as fast as It came. And yet again her body was reminded of that illness, seeming to quickly cover her mouth only for nothing to come out. The look of pain briefly passing in her eyes as her body ached*.

"**Cursed... Thing! Why must I be reminded...**"

*Uncovering her mouth for a brief flash she saw blood on It, but this was only in her head of course. Seeming to looking at It in disgust before clenching her fists, and lowering her arm back to her side. Her eyes still slightly dilated from the wave of pain she felt, this was easy to see for everyone around her*.
