At least restrained laughter is a better response than she was anticipating, and the sheepish look and further apologies go a long way to smoothing the proverbial bristles. "Yes well...a lesson to us both then," she says with lofty imperiousness, though the relief at not being in danger - and the subtle amusement at her own attack of choice - is clear on her guileless face.
A face that quickly scrunches into a sympathetic grimace at the tale he weaves, brief though it is. "Ah, an unflattering comparison. Exes are a messy business.

His offer is appreciated, though she's still a little leery despite everything. Too many proficient actors in Caido. But Evie hasn't gotten to be where she is without taking a few chances, and she strides purposefully past him and out of the alleyway as she responds. "I was heading to the Port to see if I could find any sailors or stalls with information about local flora and fauna. How good are you at haggling?" A glimmer of mischief is apparent in her cornflower blues as she turns them over her shoulder at him.

A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
