Stubborn as she is, she is not ungrateful when presented with even the smallest kindness. And so, after a moment's hesitation, she takes the offered cup, bowing her head in thanks.
"I was told not to fight alongside those who remained in the upper levels, for fear of how others would react should I have fallen. But... at what point are my actions viewed as cowardice and concern for only myself rather than caution?"
Judging by the way she's staring intently into that cup, it would seem this is not the first time she has contemplated this dilemma. For so many years, she hid for the sake of her own survival - would her people view that as abandonment, even if it was necessary?
