Elle paused when the guard tried to argue with her, turning around and clenching her fists with every intention of arguing when the second guard stepped in and diffused the situation. She relaxed again, watching the pair hurry off before looking up at Nil when he spoke with a shake of her head. His expression and tone were something she didn't really expect of him, but it put her more at ease.[color=00B2EE]"Think nothing of it. I owe you way more than that,"[/color] she replied, tone much more gentle now. She was overreacting, she needed to get a grip on herself and figure out what the hell she was supposed to do next. 

However, at the mention of food, she realized just how hungry she really was, her stomach growling to remind her that she had barely eaten anything all day. [color=00B2EE]"I'll say,"[/color] she agreed, following him at a brisk pace to keep up with his long strides. Although, what she really wanted was a drink, but that didn't seem like a very good idea at the moment, not with how unstable her emotions were. She needed food and rest so she could get her thoughts in order and make a plan. What concerned her most was the fact that she might part ways with her new companion, that with the knowledge of her new identity, that he would want nothing more to do with her. It seemed silly, but despite their various tiffs and rather different character, she had grown quite fond of him and was worried that he would be repulsed by her title and the undoubted dangers that would probably come with it.

She shook her head as they approached one of the stalls, the smell of food filling the air and temporarily banishing all other thoughts. She could worry about that after she was full and had had more time to absorb all the information that she had just been bombarded with.
