Her voice is silky smooth. Light and easy. All threat that doesn't need to be pressed anymore than the sword tip she presses into his nape. Blunt enough to not draw blood, hard enough to threaten it anyway.
' No, no! Please! Get her away from me! She's crazy, they're all a bunch of backwater -'
"Do shut up, any time you feel like it." The sword presses in deeper, silencing him as abruptly as he started to talk. Once he does, she turns back towards Miles. Whatever he looks like, she doesn't even pause to consider it. It's his eyes she meets, it's his eyes she returns full with the full weight of herself out from underneath the set of her helmet, the blood and the sweat that has dried on her skin in streaks, all the way down her chainmail, and heavy leathers. Direct and so wholly focused on him alone. Like it might just be easier if she clawed her way out of herself, even where she is wary enough of the other soldiers around them.
"We cannot pilot a ship. So we found someone who could, and he was kind enough as to take us this far. I did not mention it because I was not sure what your stance would be and I couldn't take that risk of refusal."
