Little thief, NOT anymore

The shock was all over her face when Lou heard these words. It was true she didn't have anywhere to go but to just follow someone she didn't trust was impossible. After a while of silence, she looked him in the eyes and asked, "And why should I work for you?".

Commander didn't expect that question and thought of an answer. His face was handsome even when he frowned.

"You should because I think you are amusing, and I want to know what you are capable of." That was his answer to her question, still, that wasn't everything he was thinking. He liked how she wasn't scared to look him in the eyes and that Lou is different compared to everyone else. So, after that, he asked again "Do you want to work for me?"

"And what would I do if I agree?" another question he wasn't prepared for, but still he answered with seriousness "First you would need to show what you can, then I would give you training so that you would be as strong as possible. Is that answer satisficing?"

The girl was deep in thoughts. That proposition is not bad, and it will help her improve her skills and that is what she wanted the most. Lou still siding know if she can trust him, but she could train so she wanted to do it, but she asked before agreeing "Where will I live and what will be my pay?"

"Hmmm, you would get your own room and you would get your own room, you would have your meals with the other soldiers and you would get pocket money whenever you ask. Is that good?", he asked like, already knowing what her answer will be.

"Okay, I agree to work with you." The main point to her was that she would have a place to train, sleep and she would have food every day. It was so much better than living on the street and she was satisfied with her decision.
