"Speaking of holier than thou." She said calmly. "I speak plainly and to the point. I see little point in beating the bush, or the dead horse under it... To my ears, your comments were, and I say this as plainly as I can so that we may avoid further misunderstandings..."<br/><br/>She did glance back then, her eyes level and unflenching at his words. "You offering to make it worth the time of anyone who would see you safely to your home before any other action be taken. Before the injuried are cared for, before the situation may be assessed, before anything but you are safely in your warded domain. To my ears, that sounded very much like paying for your own interest before others." She looked back to the front and the dangers there, "You are here now because I, and the others chose to help you; because we do not think of ourselves first and sling accusations at a stranger in panic. You are still here because we have chosen to continue to protect you with our lives... some of us suffering wounds in that defense. You are still here because you have not shown yourself to be a danger to the others. That is MY decision. I may not be learned in the arts of trade or commerce, but I fail to see how ownership of a piece of land will stop a demon from killing all on it, nor how ownership of a wagon will stop it from being burned... True, we all fight in our own ways... if I misunderstood you, I will offer an aopogy... but do not strike out at me because you chose your words poorly or some has a different viewpoint."
