After Ahmaht placed the money in her hand, she stared at it for awhile. Her mind began to wander to words etched into her memory since her youth.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">I am a servant of my shield which in turn serves others.</span><br/>She felt unworthy of his generosity, rather wanting to earn it herself than be rewarded for nothing. Ever since she failed to fulfill her duty during that one fateful day, she thinks of herself lower than anyone else. She just wants to be a servant that protects others in order to make up for her loss.<br/><br/>Although, in all her mental drifting, everyone had already left. She attempted to catch up, mostly to hand the money back to Ahmaht, but he would most likely hand it back to her and keep walking. She'll just have to wait til they reach their destination. Obviously with her mindset, she clearly didn't hear Zel's suggestion and kept moving.
