"Thank you," Arialla replied. "I appreciate that, and I'll probably take you up on it."
She was realistic enough to know that she'd still be here in Caido even after talking to Safrin. After all, she didn't expect Safrin to simply wave her hand and send her home -- if leaving Caido was that simple, how many Outlanders would stick around? No, Arialla simply hoped that Safrin could point her in the right direction to find a way home. And if not ... If not, she didn't know what she'd do. But maybe Safrin would have advice for that too.
Arialla made herself smile. "I appreciate the guidance you've offered, too, but I should probably let you get back to work."
please don't take my sunshine away
