[Zel's in the communal kitchen, looking over the appliances and staring at them like the alien technology that they are, when he notices Four nearby. He's got his full-body white garb on, and looks like he's calmed down since they last spoke.]
Your name is... Four, is it? [a pause.] I suppose that's easy to remember.
[ all these things are way too modern for four, too, but she's waiting to see how someone uses them first before doing anything with kitchen appliances. she's also changed into something that's more comfortable to her. ]

[ she shakes her head. ]
The people weren't dissatisfied with me. It was... [ her voice becomes much quieter, her gaze avoidant. ] Something else entirely.

[In retrospect, maybe he shouldn't be speculating about stuff like that out loud.]
Sorry.

[ and besides, everyone here is dead. ]
As a wandering swordsman, do you lend your services to anyone who needs it or to whomever can pay the correct price?
no subject
[... A moment of reflection, and a sigh.]
With some exceptions.

If someone in front of me is in danger, I can't afford to hesitate.
... Situations like that, I suppose.

That's a bit more noble than mercenary. That's kindhearted of you.
