"You're welcome," she replied, returning it to her pack. She blinked curiously, tipping her head to one side as she watched him.

His eyebrows rose to his headband. 'She's staring at me again. She's staring at me again. Why is she staring at me again?' He coughed into his fist, glancing off to the sides.

She laughed lightly at his expression, a tinkling, bell-like sound, hardly fitting of her rough and tough appearance. "What an interesting creature," she mused. She straightened up, and stuck out a hand. "Sorry, we were never properly introduced. You are...?"

He hesitantly shook her hand, bowing just slightly. "Tobias Finn. And yourself...?" He released her hand. "And I'm hardly a creature. Try 'mercenary'." He smirked slightly, hoping that, even though he doubted it, his occupation might scare her away. Just maybe.

On the contrary, she only seemed to become more interested in him. "Ah, I see..." She pondered this for a moment, and then added, "You can call me Masquerade."

"Do you, by any chance, own a mask, Miss Masquerade?" He slight smirk grew. 'There's obviously something wrong with her. Blue skin, red eyes, hair to match...' He took a moment to look her over. 'A bandolier.... a bell bandolier?' Tobias had heard talk of necromancers using bells before, but never really took much interest in the stories.

She grinned at this. "Not at the moment, but isn't that an idea?" Her gaze followed his to the bandolier strapped across her abdomen. "Curious, are you? Most are, but they don't dare show it."

He turned his gaze back to her. "...Really now."

Masquerade chuckled. "Sure." She fingered the handle of the largest, grin widening. "And wouldn't you love to see what they do..."

"I think I can pass on that one," He frowned, watching her more carefully now.

She quirked an eyebrow, letting her hand fall. "You sure about that? Because... If you wanted, I wouldn't mind... hiring you."

His expression changed to a more cheerful one. "Hire? Really now." He smiled. "You have piqued my interest."

She gave a slow nod, face thoughtful. "Yes, possibly, if you're... up to it."

"I take any job offered, so shoot." He shrugged.

"Well, I doubt you'll get another offer like this," she muttered softly. "You see... My work is very different than anything else you'd come across. Rather dangerous, too, for anyone who doesn't know what they're doing." She looked him up and down, adding, "You'd need a bit of training."
