While she continued to work around the kitchen she listened to the man speak carefully, a small smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth. Jokes really did not mean much to the old woman but then again she has never had much of a sense of humor. Normally people would catch on to a joke and make some snarky comment about it or laugh along and begin to make jokes of their own. She was not one of those people. The way she moves about told that the joke had, possibly, gone over her head or she just didnâ€™t think it was funny. Having been around for so long she has been exposed to so many types of jokes that, admittedly, a lot of them have lost their touch and bored her. Hopefully this man was not as boring as his jokes though she supposed the edginess did do him some justice.<br/><br/>A laugh left her lips. Quiet, yet effective, it wasnâ€™t a laugh that seemed to suit her very well; it almost sounded like the laugh of an old witch. Well she supposed it wouldnâ€™t hurt to finally explain herself.<br/><br/>Sitting across from the man, the old woman looked into his eyes and studied him for a moment. â€œFor someone so wary you made no hesitation stuffing your face,â€ she commented. Human behavior has always been one of those few things that never failed to keep her interested. A lot of people wouldnâ€™t have even touched that food, so maybe this man did not care. Either way it was interesting and her curiosity continued to grow. â€œWhat would you do if the food had been poisoned? Did you even take that into consideration? What a greedy foolâ€¦â€ Her mood seemed to change just then but her gaze was unwavering, it was needless to say that this was amusing for her, tilting her head to the side to see how he would react to that if at all, waiting a moment before she decided to give a decent answer to his question.<br/><br/>â€œIf you want to know why youâ€™re here, then I shall tell you,â€ she continued, â€œYou may or may not like what you are about to hear, in fact you probably wonâ€™t believe me if I gave a detailed explanation so I will stick to the abridged version.â€ She paused for a moment. Slowly but surely she began to fill her plate up with some food so it wouldnâ€™t seem odd that she was not eating anything in spite of mentioning poison. She was a cruel woman sometimes but poisoning was not her thing, she would never do anything so dastardly when it came to messing with people, this man had to be kept alive, it was always boring when they were killed off so quickly. â€œYou are here because I have seen something in you and I want to give you the chance to turn your life around. Are you satisfied with how you have been living your life?â€<br/><br/>It might have been an odd question since she had no idea who he was but she did warn him. She was not expecting him to give an answer right away but she did want a reaction. Even if there was no direct or immediate answer there was always a reaction, though with her strange way of thinking maybe it wasnâ€™t possible for one to understand. Put simply, she was still testing this man.
