Arletta simply frowned, considering the Gandharva's words words if she spoke. Her words had merit, she supposed...but, personally? She couldn't agree with them. They gave her the impression less of refugees, and more of bandits. Certainly, their culture may have something to do with it and she would never bash some other place for their beliefs or customs...but she couldn't agree. She just couldn't. Under no circumstance, should someone ever attack someone unprovoked.

Hah, she wished she had the audacity to tell Gina that. If she was still human she'd have told her that in not a quite so friendly manner. Probably insult her intelligence and common sense, too. Also hit on her repeatedly but that was neither here nor there. She was glad that Valarie put her head back on before arriving or things might have gotten a little...difficult.

[color=8882be]"Not everyone can be swayed with kind words and open arms..."[/color] She shook her head as Gina left. It was simply the sad reality of people in general. It was a nice sentiment, and one she'd have loved nothing more than to agree with, but personal experience simply told her otherwise. Sometimes people could only be convinced to change their ways with force or tragedy.

Still, she couldn't deny Gina's words. If she could have subdued them without killing, that would have been a much better outcome...but there was very little to be done about that. What was done was done - you could only strive to do better.

[color=8882be]"Oh,"[/color] Arletta caught the pouch easily. [color=8882be]"Mhm, I am glad I was able to help."[/color] For now though, she was tired. She had been traveling much of the day, and with the slight...loss of her head she was rather tired. With the sun going down, traveling at night would be a bit unwelcome. Besides...she'd be lying if she said she wasn't a bit concerned about both those...refugees and Valarie. She glanced down to her blade before shaking her head and pocketing the pouch.

She'd find some place to stay for the night and leave tomorrow. Maybe check up on Valarie before leaving.
