One could almost argue that Zandelia was drunk by the way she uttered those words in a sing song voice, but Kalila didn't believe it for a minute. This was a game, and Kalila did not know what the outcome was going to be yet and was getting slightly more aggravated with the circles that were being spun. "I did not ssay that they did not help the city, becausse they keep thingss in line...to an extent,"she said with a shake of her head, the motion quick in her aggravation as she glared at the other woman. "I jusst can not sseem to get over the cruelty that sseemss to be in everyone'ss heart!" She snapped her mouth shut and sat in silence for a few moments, stewing over what she had just said. Perhaps that was why she was so unhappy here, it reminded her too much of the viper nest in Ahnatep where cruelty ran rampant around every corner in the sandy tunnels. She had met a few people the she found were worth her friendship, and Kalila treasured those few connections that she had made. But sometimes the the cruelty and poverty that she was forced to see every day often laid heavy on her heart.
She listened to Zandelia ramble on, barely hearing what she had said until something was mentioned that she could not ignore. "I do not heal for profit Znadelia, I heal becausse I care. I do not wissh to gain anything from it, becausse they have nothing to give to me,"she said softly, her eyes boring into the other woman's. She did not expect monetary gain from what she did, she just did it because no one else would, and that she did not like to see anyone suffer, especially children. But Kalila did not think that Zandelia was merely talking to fill in the silence between them, no, she still wanted something from Kalila. It was obvious enough when Crimson was mentioned, and that Zandelia was testing her for a bigger purpose. She slowly reached up and pulled her veil down, uncovering her face as her dark curls tumbled down. "Indeed, the blood alwayss flowss in Crimssson,"she said, her head cocking to the side slightly in curiosity. So this woman was a party of Crimson Edge, interesting.
"You are an interessting woman Zandelia, and rather annoying ass well."
