His response surprised her a little, throwing her slightly off guard. A long breath rushed out, letting the pent up anger rush out with it. She was so used to demeaning and insulting remarks that she could barely recall a time when someone had answered her in this manner. He had not immediately jumped to conclusions about her question, but then nor had he fallen for her soft voice and appearance. Her brows furrowed slightly as her gaze dropped to the cup of ale she had her fingers wrapped around. Feeling slightly confused, she did not know how to react, knowing that she could not use her charm or wiles on him, not knowing how else to act with him.<br/><br/>She did not even notice that she was slowly chewing on her lower lip as she tried to figure out a way to tell him what kind of work she was looking for. It was not like she could just blurt out that she was looking for mercenary work, or that she was even willing to go one step further and take on an assassination job. Frustrated she dug into her pocket and found some coins. Pulling them out she picked out 2 coppers and slapped them down on the counter in front of him. Lifting her pale grey eyes back up to him, she gave him a look that spoke volumes about what she was seeking, more so than her words. "You know.." her voice trailing off and leaving it unsaid.
