[Cor is wise to be wary. Even without being what she is, Aranea can be quite unpredictable when she wants to be. But she just laughs at his question.]

What a mercenary does best. Take on the jobs with the best pay. [There's a light smirk as she continues to walk forward, having no qualms whatsoever about the topic.

Although she may not be completely truthful or "friendly" about it. For one, she doesn't need to be told how Cor feels about her presence. Not only because of past allegiances, it's practically written on his face. But for another, because it's Cor, the famed "immortal marshal" and a giant stick in the mud (her opinion), that she doesn't go out of her way to be particularly polite. Not that she really is for just anyone anyway, but in this case there may be some deliberate sass.]

Could ask the same for you. Big military man dumped here in a place where your skills aren't really needed. Must be like early retirement for you.

[Yep, definitely poking him.]
