It's news to Ned, who takes in this tidbit of information with careful consideration. He would have to be more careful wishing for things in the future, it seemed.

Since Aella laughs wryly at the idea of people trying to kill her, Ned gives a dry chuckle too and tips his head back to look at her. She is a cagey one, this girl with the mischievous eyes and colorful mouth and a past she is quite vague about.

"I hope you chose well," he says lightly, inclining his head just a touch. "As for here...you have spoken with many people, it seems. Have you been here long? Traveled much of this world? How far does it go?" Ned looks quite interested in this subject, and so far it has been one that Aella is very open to speak of.
