Yes, that would nice. [She nods in acceptance, placing the jar down but not looking away from it as he speaks.]
No, unfortunately... [She wishes it did shock her, but she's used to feeling sad for the ways of men, even if those men are hedgehog creatures.] My home has mercenaries too.

I can only control what I do.

Don't misunderstand; I chose this life. Anything else would have been a waste of the talents I had, and I simply could not abide by that. I have no need of pity for the path I've chosen, for I am plenty content with it.

Well. I suppose I would not mind assisting you in finding further levity, in this situation.
[...infinite honey that is the most bass ackwards way of asking if you can do anything to help--]
