"That old lady's soft, even if she doesn't show it. 'Course she'd worry."
It seemed obvious to Guts, or maybe it was the only explanation he could muster for the kindness Lashan had shown him. If she could do that for an enemy that tried to kill her, why not for one of the other enclave girls?
"Anyway, it ain't a big deal. We had an arrangement sorted out, and that was part of it. Wasn't going out of my way or anything."
Exchanges and contracts made things less complicated in Guts' world. He was just doing another job. Paying back the food and hospitality.
He didn't want Galli to think she owed him anything. He didn't want to make the mistake of letting her get too close, either. More than anything, he wanted to continue onward before growing any fonder of this place. He wanted his sword back in his hands.
