Kalista was quiet for a moment, then admitted, "My house burned down. I don't really have a choice. Yes I eat meat." She mostly ate meat in fact, but on the acting like a human front she was pretty sure that wasn't a normal statement. She leaned back against the tree and considered him, "Most people won't hurt a healer." That was a good enough reason to be comfortable in the woods wasn't it? She thought it was. There now he knew why she was injured and didn't have anything to cook with and... why did she tell him her real name? What was wrong with her? She was stupid with exhaustion and stress. That was her excuse and she was sticking to it.<br/><br/>"Well it's a mouthful because you keep saying my last name. Kalista is not that long." She looked unenthusiastically down the wet and puddly road and then supposing her having said 'the inn up the road' was not detailed enough admitted, "There's an inn about a five minute walk away. I don't think you need to catch anything. If you don't want to." She supposed he had some money if he was offering to buy her food. She tried to think of a way to get out of that gracefully and came up with exactly nothing. So she didn't really answer that part, she just told him, "I am supposed to help people. That's the entirety of my duties. Or it was." She rubbed at her forehead, as if it would help her think. She'd traveled a long way, but it just didn't<span style="font-style: italic">feel</span>like it was far enough. Just keep moving then. Once the rain let up.<br/><br/>There he was with treacherous woods and now going on about bandits. Was he trying to scare her? "I don't see anyone here except you." And she wasn't feeling particularly threatened by him anymore, even if he did have a big knife. Maybe she was just too tired to be sensible. He was sniffing the air now, that was odd for a human wasn't it? Could he smell the deer? Deer definitely had a strong smell, unmistakable. Kind of like a horse or a cow, but not quite the same. Probably a bed down site on the ridge, but she didn't bother much with deer. They were kind of.. big.
