Xeii may have attempted not to be startled, but it came across as a far more jarred expression than was required. Clutching tighter to the travel pack in her lap, wide amber hues settled on the bearded woman who spoke, and the elf was tempted to bolt from the tavern as quickly as her legs would carry her. Between them, fruit was pushed, and Xeii's attention flickered from the stranger to the apple hesitantly. Many things crossed her mind in the time her eyes remained focused on the fruit, most of which involving what sort of punishment she could face for taking the item if she couldn't pay for it, but the Dwarven female had made it a clear offering. Whether she misinterpreted the action or not would come in time. For now, the horned femme reached slowly with a set of grimy digits to encircle the token. Far quicker did her hand recoil so now she hugged not only her previous belongings, but the new edible addition.
"Not yet." Xeii replied stiffly, a flash of guilt riding the coattails of the admittance. "But I just got into the city."
As she finished speaking, the door to the tavern opened once more, and a man far larger than herself and the smaller Dwarf entered. His tone didn't sound like it belonged in the relative quiet of the pub, but it was early and Xeii couldn't know for sure what patronage were likely to show up as the night fell upon them. Even so, something about the term 'wench' made the creature fidget angrily where she perched, unearthing some shallowly buried disgust that caused her features to shift into a disappointed scowl. "And who are you to call anyone a wench?" Defensively, Xeii's chest puffed out, though she had nothing much in the way of muscle or curves; instead built as wiry and slender as most Elves were expected to be. What she lacked in mass she made up for in anger and cunning.
"If you are to address a lady, ANY LADY, you will do so respectfully! This isn't a whorehouse!" But then again, Xeii didn't actually know that. Presumably this wasn't a whorehouse.
