[Jitter bug]

Her eyes watched his hands as he came in, never once looking at the rest of him until he spoke, her expression darkening as he stated the obvious fact of his advantage, the metallic click of her crossbow's safety switching off was a passive warning that she didn't much care for his advantage. Surely it was ancient but it was still fully functional.

When he continued she was cynical and silent as she considered, taking time to look at him. He was much taller and built stronger than she, her own size already smaller than average due to malnutrition years ago which gave her her speed. It was possibly the reason she was hard to catch and was able to hide so easily when she wasn't cornered like she was now. At least he wasn't much older than she was.

Size, strength, weaponry, not to mention that he had her trapped, the odds were impossible so finally she nodded, switching the safety on again, "Alright." She put the two bolts in her hand back in their pouch but kept the throwing knives in her hand and the last bolt in the crossbow. "Fine, if you can keep thugs off me then I'll help you." her tone made it clear that she wasn't interested in being friends right now.
