"You too? I've been stuck in the village for a couple of weeks myself," The smile she wore was genuine enough, and a part of her really was curious about this guy. That, and she needed to actually start talking to people who weren't just the locaks. She needed to get to know who was passing through, and why.

That was when she made an appealing jingle with her coin purse, her smile pulling into a grin as the offer was placed, "Well stranger, I'm curious enough to want to know more than just that you're a traveller. Not for free, of course -- I want to give you a good hot meal as payment, if that sounds good to you? I can spare a bit of Ryo to lean more about a potential friend."

... Inwardly this persona was making her squirm uncomfortably, but by that point she was so used to pretending to care that part of it was just starting to come naturally. She hadn't seen a stranger looking quite like this one either, so it wouldn't be a total pain in the ass. Probably.
