Then comes a nod of her head to acknowledge the other’s words. Oh but she could attest to that, certainly. "Hmm… Those are good words to live by, I think so too." And as she walks in her steps her initial judgement speaks true that the woman’s words would reveal a noble mindset, and certainly that of a good ally’s. One that her father might be happy to enlist, had she proved herself trustworthy enough to be a member of the army. A halt in her steps upon arrival, placing the boxes on the ground in her pause to listen to the other’s words.
So she’d been right to surmise that the woman was from a faraway land, perhaps even a different continent if not in Ylisse? "Aqua. I see…" She would have expected the name foreign though she knew of its meaning. It seemed unique to be named so, but fitting enough of her image, just as well.
"I didn’t think a new threat would arise in Ylisse… And much too soon after the Risen, no less. This is certainly troubling." Seriousness dawning upon her expression. "And you’re entrusted with this task to eliminate them…" By who, she intends to ask, though she surmises by the earlier drawn out sentence as if to mull over her thoughts that the woman held secrets, words she would wish to keep to herself for reasons she cannot yet determine yet why was there a need for there to be, if it meant saving Ylisse?
"Would you tell me more about these creatures?" Aqua’s words had given her the impression that she was working alone; certainly she hopes it was not so. Did she have allies?
"I hope you weren’t planning on fighting them alone. I’m here to help, and so will the rest of my father’s army once they’ve been informed about the situation."
Over time kindness built up, sometimes it went unnoticed but she never did things just to receive a thank you in return, the work itself was gratifying enough. However, some recognition was always nice and she couldn't deny that. "I suppose they are," a light smile forming on her lips, momentarily gazing off as if she were recalling a memory. Her morals had all been directly inspired by her Master, of course she had opinions of her own but he'd greatly shaped the individual she was now.
Of course these Risen were unfamiliar to her, but it seemed this land already had enough problems as it was, now the Unverse decided to make things even worse. That's why she was here, and why she'd shoulder this problem alone, there was no need to get anyone else involved. Perhaps Terra or Ven had already passed through here and lessened the threat as it seemed she was always one step behind them in her mission to bring their younger friend back and keep an eye on Terra. "Seems like you have enough to worry about, but yes this is my objective so I wouldn't want to burden you with something that is my responsibility, after all you have people to look after right?" It just didn't seem right to ask for assistance from someone who shouldn't even know about the Unverse. And not just because she had to project the natural order, that the worlds must remain separate.
"What these creatures are...that's exactly why I can't accept your help as much as I appreciate it," no matter the number not even a whole army could take them on if they didn't wield the right weapon. "Besides I'm not entirely alone," once serious features momentarily morphed into a look of fondness, no she wasn't alone. "There's not much I can tell you but I do know that you can't defeat them with your weapons, it's best you and your father's army avoid them until I can solve the problem, though perhaps there is one thing you could tell me." The Unverse fed off negative energy, they were drawn to darkness so perhaps there was something or someone here that possessed such dark traits that attracted them to this place. "Is there anyone you can think of that might want to bring harm to this world?"
