"I won't promise that, in the event that something happens and I am required to use it in defense." She said though hoped that was satisfactory. These were hard time, especially lately and she couldn't afford to be honor bound by a promise and end up being killed. When he suddenly asked for her name though, she flt herself grow uncomfortable. "My name is Ara..." She responded a bit hesitantly, glancing away. "Arabelle Luning." She said once more a bit more strongly as she felt the pride of her family go through her, her eyes narrowing as she was reminded of her goals once more.

Ara scanned the area quietly before sighing and giving a nod. She carefully dismounted her horse and pulled her hood back, revealing her brown hair that had been chopped off right below her ears. After carefully inspecting the area, she glanced towards the doctor and allowed a more natural smile appear on her face. "It's quaint" She stated and gently petted her horse's strong neck. Walking forward towards the small horse, she carefully tired the animal's reins to a tree so that he would be shaded and be able to graze.

"In exchange for your generosity and opening your home to me, I'll be glad to do any chores or help work." Ara said as she turned back to face Chance. She untied her cloak, letting it fall back over her shoulders before she caught it and draped it over her horses back. Her armor and clothes were revealed as she did so but she didn't take notice to how the man would react, instead carefully undoing the hinges of her breast plate so that she could remove it as well. "Even though I'm a small woman, I can be quite useful."

She flashed another small smile and removed the sword that was sheathed at her side, resting it against the tree beside her horse.



(( Ugh. Sorry this took so long. ;_;
