[Jade rubs the back of her neck, some part hopeful that it's not. Considering most people she cared about either burned bridges the last she saw them or were dead (well, already dead and less likely to come back), she's not sure she'd want to see certain familiar faces here.
[The offer for a guide is tempting, though. And if she does see someone she'd rather not, then she can always just dip. So she tells herself.]
I would appreciate that, yeah. I'll, er... follow your lead, provided it's not down a sketchy dark alleyway to kill me. [Nervous laugh. It's a joke. This woman, Shāza, wouldn't actually do that, would she? Yeah?] I'm used to big cities, but this blasted place is something else.
