Onari hadn't met someone as generous as this in her entire life. To what extent did this benefit her? Onari and the kid were already taking up valuable space in her home, draining her resources. Now she wanted to safeguard their journey to the Weyr? Her gaze grew distant as she felt her hackles raise, defensive. It didn't sound horrible, but it was a lot at once.
One would argue too much. Onari couldn't understand what she was getting out of this.
Her arms wrapped more securely around the child, bringing her close. Her cheek rested atop the child's temple as she blinked once, bringing her back to the present. "Is it as safe as they say?" she asked quietly, eyes flickering up toward's Dessa's again, uncertain. "There was a woman I knew of once, told me how safe the Weyrs were. That's why it was the first place I thought to run to. Does that sound dumb?"
