Natalia blinked for a second, then felt a slight pain as she realized that praise was genuine. The words come out in a bit of a rush. "I-- merely show the results of my own hard work."

Her voice and pace calmed. "I have never met a Rito, though if they value sharpshooting, I suppose--"

She paused, reviewing the races she knew to be native to Esthere, and tsked. "On second thought... perhaps it is better if I never meet one, here."

Not a fate she'd wish on many.
