[ The tidbit of information that this woman gives him is useful in more ways than one - he'd assumed that there would be spies much after learning some of the lay of the land and particularly after learning that Thorne was ruled by a queen - but also serves to drive his paranoia. It still unsettles him to know that those that had brought him here knew who he was and everything he had done up until now. The knowledge hangs over his head like a gilded blade ready to cut whenever it sees fit. 

Thankfully her light touch jolts him from his thoughts and he manages to wrestle his face back into something resembling the lost Summoned that was still very much overwhelmed by everything around him. Everything that they could want for is provided by Thorne, but this feels far more genuine of an offer than anything he had been given so far.

It warms him some and the smile on his face reflects some of his appreciation. ] 

I'm afraid I won't have anything to repay the favour at the moment. I'm not a picky eater, so you can pick whatever you recommend. [ There's a beat, forgetting his manners. ] I'm Alyx.
