"Thanks," Lisbeth said, not quite meeting Alex's eye. She begrudgingly accepted the help, tying up the wound on her arm a bit better than she could have done on her own. The bleeding would stop quickly enough, but there was always the risk of infection. She internally chided herself for not thinking of that sooner.
She rose back to her feet, just the tiniest bit unsteady. "Hey now, I'm pretty light on my feet myself. If I don't want to be found, most people can't find me." She mostly knew that from the years after her father had died. She had been a young teen at the time--too young to join the army yet, but old enough to draw the wrong kind of attention, from the kind of people who had certain ideas about a young girl with no one around to protect her. Anyone she couldn't hide from, would face the skills her father had taught her. She was quite good with both the bow on her back and the rapier on her hip.
"What kind of ship do you sail?" she asked. "I heard you praying for good winds. And...for your enemies to drown. You said you were going to fight for the old gods, but you're clearly not in the navy..." She looked Alex up and down. Her style of dress was decidedly not military.
