There's an awkward silence as Kaisa watches Asher talk to his crew and they wander off. Should she acknowledge them? Wave? But in the end, Bronson saved her by letting her focus on him. She gives the dog a warm smile, plopping on the ground and patting his big, scarred head. She continues to focus on the mabari while Asher speaks, ignoring what she suspects are digs at her for not having a proper job.

"I have a proper job. It's called killing darkspawn. And stopping blights, if blights happen. Which may happen yet, since there's a Maker-damned archdemon running around." She wrinkles her nose at that. Fucking archdemon. She never thought she'd live to see it. She never thought she'd live to see another Blight, really. Yet here they were.

"But I gotta say, if your proper jobs involve doing the deed in the middle of haggling, maybe I ought to reconsider."

She laughed, and went back to petting the mabari as she thought over just what had gone on since Asher had been gone. "I think the biggest thing of note was that we got to much rain, and the mountain had a landslide. Caught a caravan, and I guess it messed up the water in the well. Ton of people got sick, and we were all stuck here with our thumbs up our asses. I managed pretty well, ended up taking care of the people that got sick. And I guess the people that got sick started being able to see spirits or something...?" That would have been a good thing to start off with, probably.

"Like, the Veil wasn't broken, it was just see through? Damned if I know, I'm not a mage and I didn't see shit. I heard they stuck that jumpy little Templar guy down the well and got whatever was making people sick cleared out."
