Freshly showered, with her long, wet hair freely falling over her shoulders, drenching the hoody underneath - even in this moment of harmony and peace, the mystic seems to be slightly absent from the world around her, slowly moving as if she'd dance to a melody only she can hear. That said, she seems more awake than usual, as if she'd absorb this moment of rest in-between two missions that show the status quo of this world.
"Some wicked deeds cannot be prevented, no matter what we try - don't blame yourself for something you didn't cause yourself." It hurts to hear the man talk about his sons, as every single word tells you just how wrong all of this is. "I assume you have a picture of both of your sons, just so we'll recognize them? No, don't stand up, eat up first - there is no need to hurry. I should have asked later on, don't let my eagerness to help disturb your meal. It's been some time since I enjoyed anything close to this, by the way." When you're on travel, you tend to eat whatever you can afford at that moment - a proper meal is a welcome change for the better.
As most seem to have finished, and O-Ren asks for a moment to talk about the offer, she earns an approving nod by the mystic - at least when she indicates that the group is likely to help out. "I'd stay and fight them on my own, if that's what it takes - I'm glad to not be the only one who thinks that way." The agreement seems to shatter, however, as the woman continues to argue in a direction that seems utterly wrong. "You're a knight, O-Ren, right? Supposedly meant to defend the weak, and fight the evil? Is money the only reward you can think of? This man would promise way more than he can afford, just for the hope to see his sons again. Do you want them to return to a ruined place? No matter how things go, he'll spread the word. It's on us to decide what kind of story he'll tell. One of mercenaries, just like all the others? Or one of decent people who did the right thing, potentially inspiring others to finally do the same? For me, that choice is simple: A week's worth of rations, maybe some ammo to replace whatever I'll use along the way - not that much against vampires, I'd assume. Ask for whatever you feel is appropriate, but I won't accept more than that."
