[ She laughed, at the excitement of the fight, of the hunt, but the question -- she does not know the words, but can guess at what she is asking easily enough. ]
I am a woman who has been capable of great, and terrible acts. One of which I have paid for since it happened.
[ She says this, not as an excuse, but she looked out over the farms, the sun, the liveliness of it all, how lush this farmland is, not something she'd ever seen in Praes. There was a reason why they continuously invaded Callow, and it was all about farms. To have such excess... would her people be as hard as they were, if they had as much? ]
But I made a promise after I did such a thing. It is a promise that I will pay for, and it is what keeps me to Meridian, even now. I will never undo what I did, but I can hold to my promise.
Though... I forgot it. [ A laugh, and she shook her head. ] It sounds so petty, but here, even things like memories can be stolen, or taken away. Without the memories of my promise, or what I did, I found my... natural inclination is elsewhere.
