Leone was slightly creeped out by Mr. Hillbilly, as he smiled and confirmed that he knew about the napkin, but didn't expand with any explanation of what he knew. She let him keep it or whatever he wanted to do with it. It wasn't long after that she felt a presence invade her mind and talk to her. It addressed them all though. She wondered why he needed to commit such an invasion of privacy if he was going to tell them all the same thing. Leone listened anyway, as he appealed to the dreamer she was when he spoke about how the world was in danger. 

When Mr. Hillbilly mentioned a reward and how Smith had the proper opinion of it, Leone frowned. She wasn't greedy as the old man. If she was to do this, she would not want a monetary reward. Heroes should act ouf of selfishness and a love for others, or when it came to the more exciting stories, an interest in fame and legendary status. The man had already concealed everyone else from the group and made sure to keep this meeting a secret. She was curious about if they were supposed to keep all of this quiet, sign some kind of contract for their silence or be killed off if they tried to prove any of it as real to the outside. To prove it could be quite difficult in itself, but if she did she would become famous. 

The guy who had called the man Hillbilly first didn't seem to believe a word of what the man had just told them. Leone wanted to believe the man, as it would explain all this magic and why she'd developed powers herself. She'd been chosen by a higher power to be a hero, which any and all would admire. Leone could become a renowned bard unlike anyone else. How many musicians saved the planet, after all. She stood with a silly smile across her face as she thought about it. 

"What kind of reward? Only money?" Leone asked eventually when she'd snapped out of her daydream, and tried to keep her voice sounding indifferent. "Are we supposed to keep all of this quiet from everyone else as the world dies?" 

She was disturbed when she checked the clock and saw that there was only half an hour until it started, whatever it was. Leone hoped her friends wouldn't spend the entire night looking for her in this city. This may count as an abduction if she had no real option to leave, and her friends would be better off staying out of the trouble she'd gotten herself into here. The police probably couldn't do anything either.

Making no attempt to leave the area, Leone decided to accept this task for now, if only to see if Mr. Hillbilly was pulling a prank on them all, or if she'd actually been chosen to save the world. If he was telling the truth then it was futile to try to run away. If anything it was obvious that there were powers at work here that she could not explain in any other way than that she'd found someone else who knew how to use magic. That alone should be worth hanging around a little longer for.
