Jasmine smiled slightly at his words. It was nice to have someone show an actual interest in her even in her depressed state. Then he made his comment and her eyes widened in surprise. Was he actually admitting to being a Xantelli?<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, I thought you were another tourist like me. If you know everyone you must live here, do you work as a chaperone like Cindy? Someone else being paid to keep me company?" she asked and this time her tone carried an edge of annoyance to it. She didn't need paid companions surrounding her day and night!<br/><br/>Her annoyance wasn't feigned either, thinking more of her family and her tragedy then her job it didn't immediately occur to her the he might be a Xantelli, even though she'd wondered about it when he approached her. Thoughts of the family she was supposed to be trying to get close to were far from her mind and her first thought at his words was that perhaps he'd been sent to her because she had no interest in women and, whoever made companion selections, had thought she'd respond better to having a man hovering around her instead of the petite woman.
