Terra raised an eyebrow at the non-answer but was otherwise silent as she sipped her tea. If he didn't want to share then that was his business. She was silent for a few moments as she sat. A breeze rustled past and Terra closed her eyes at the brief respite from the heat, leaning back a bit more. When it was gone, she opened her eyes again to look at the man across from her.

[color=PaleVioletRed]"You got a job yet?"[/color] she asked. [color=PaleVioletRed]"The springs keep losing attendants, so they're probably hiring, the mountain needs a new ranger for upkeep,"[/color] she listed off on her fingers.
