She smirked as he was visibly relieved by her question. It was much better to keep him from getting awkward, but she was reluctant to expose much of herself. Instead of answering the question he posed, she diverted his attention by asking him another question.<br/><br/>"Where did you train? I know few heales who were trained then released to their own devices. It seems odd that someone would spend the years necessary to train you, then  it make use of your skills and employ you."<br/><br/>Glancing over at him, she noticed for the first time that the heat was getting to him. This worried her. Ftigued as she was, it would be wise to allow him to suffer heat stroke. They would both be exposed and vulnerable if that happened. She noticed that the trees once more wandered closer to the trail not too fr in the distance. They had not yet reached the town, but they needed a rest. Hopefully she would be able to find water there.
