She crossed her arms and leaned her back against a wall.

A few people walked past, mostly people heading to Sector 1.

"I'd be doing the convincing, and I doubt preaching to you would have much effect."

"Are you hungry?"

"Okay, so if I help you, you have food or money or something that I get? And then when this is all over, this will all be better, or at least that's the plan?"

There were some whispers of bad things happening that you overheard. You were listening for civil unrest after all.

It was general tidbits, this person robbed, that person's brother assassinated, that sorta thing.

All personal. It was complaints, not a call for change.

There was unhappiness up top, too, from what she remembered. That meant nothing.
