[She smiles, slow and catlike as he bristles.] Oh, good. I was hoping you would have more bite than just on the battlefield. I do tire of battles of wits where my opponents are unarmed.

[She holds her ground, tilting her head up as she regards him thoughtfully. After a moment she bows her head briefly in acceptance, but doesn't move away] A favor for a favor, then. With some stipulations. I will not kill or harm children. [She pauses, trying to figure out if there's really any other limits here] ...And I will not destroy anything of historical significance. [Knowledge is power, after all. But really that's about all she can think of that she'd make a face at.

Even the children thing is new and that's only because she has a son now. She's pretty sure Richard won't ask her to dress up for a party or something so there's no need to mention that she will whine and complain if she has to socialize too much.

...She really doesn't have that many lines to draw in the sand here, huh. She would steal something of power or historical significance, but destroying it?? What was the POINT.

Anyway, she turns then to look at the pistol, brow furrowing a little at the unfamiliar weapon(?)]

I expected a crossbow. [She sounds almost comically disapproving.]
