She thought from the look about Aurelio's face that she might have puzzled him with her cryptic answers, her lack of contribution to anything that might give away who she was or what she was like, and strangely it made her happy. It meant that she was safe. It meant that there was nothing that could be used against her. It meant that when she left she would be just as free as this male claimed himself to be, with nothing but a memory of herself left behind that would fade with time when she did. But, she assumed, it might also make her memorable. And that felt like the better reward for her efforts.

There was no comment made to his assessment of her - he was right, what else was there to say? But he was also wrong. The young girl's two-toned eyes lowered slightly as she considered how much to tell, how to say it, in such a way that might not give her whole life story away. Or at least as little of it as she could. "I can't," was her answer, simple and certain."Someone would notice." Two someones, actually; a brother and a mother. "There'd be trouble if I did." Of that, she had no doubts. Her mother had always been a peaceable sort, but she had also been strict. Not once had her temper ever had a reason to stir but Vaishya thought this might be one area where it did.
