"I..." She thought about whether or not she should share with him the deal she had been offered. Chewing on her lip, she continued, "I know... I was approached by a man in a..." She tried to find a way to describe him in a way other than the way a child might describe a nightmare, "A suspicious man in a mask. He asked me to bring him a map of the city, and promised I'd be safe- from whatever it is that's 'bout to boil over."
She swallowed heavily and twisted her fingers together. "Look, I appreciate your concern about my safety an' all, but it's not my safety I care about. I get yer busy, but is there a way t'find y'after... Maybe I might join yer men, learn how t'go about helpin' my family? I'm tough an' smart, I helped my Da with the mages." She squared her jaw, "I'm not no frightened girl, Cullen. If y'need me in the city for whatever it is y'got goin', I can be covert. Folks don't expect someone like me t'be up to nothin' bad."
