[Maybe he hadn't been deliberately trying to keep it a secret, but the point is he could've gone to her while posting it. They're friends, right? They're both new here, and she's the only person he knows here. Relying on each other is just common sense- at least to her. As for her main motivator? She's been trying to hone her dreamotion combat skills to be more efficient when dealing with whatever this place might throw at them. Having people that can fight is important, and she wants to get stronger. Wants to protect people.
Aside from that, she's been helping out other shops by getting them materials, things needed for rebuilding. It's not the job that she's used to, but it's what is necessary here. And, above all, helping out the community is what's important. Much like Jude's own research will eventually be beneficial to everyone here.
In any case, he's missing the point. Exasperating, but not surprising. Especially when she, herself, can have trouble communicating her feelings too. His words deflate her annoyance, and she tries again to say what she means.]
Jeez! Like I said, I don't care that it was posted to the board, but a heads up would've been nice. We're both stuck here together, so don't get so hung up on whether you think I'd be Interested or not.
[That. That's what she is trying to say. That it's okay to rely on her, that she wants to help him because this is something she can actually help with. Not like back at home where they are both swamped in their own careers and he's got his own team to help him out, but here. Now. She can try her best to assist him because for the first time in years, they're both in the same predicament and everyone is working towards a common goal.
Of course she doesn't say that much and instead uses that stern tone to try to get her point across. But whatever.
Sighing, she holds the bag out for him to take.]
Here--
[Inside the bag he will find a pincer from the noctaere she fought and a blackened flower. Both emanating this dark essence.]
Kinda stumbled across a noctaere while I was out looking for stuff. But I managed a pretty good haul for my first time out.
