'Lynn paused her pacing when Lilibeth began explaining herself and qucikly turned to get a better look at the girl, her arms still crossed. Her unamused look remained on her face, and she gave no reaction at all to what the girl was telling her. Then, after Lilibeth finished speaking, 'Lynn brought a hand up to her face to rub it gently. She ran her hand down along her face after that, her previous smirk and look of mischief coming to her expression as her hand left her face, almost making it seem like the hand had swept it back onto her features.
"Ju be right. I don't ca'a fo'a de Lake. It be a sick place, an' one I t'ink a lil' kitten like ju would be in ova' her head messin' wit'. Fa' be it from me to inta'fe'a wit' a stranga's intentions d'ough, 'specially since it ain't any o' my business, so I'll tell some o' de ruma's dat's passed 'round dis place." Her look of mischief only seemed to increase after she said that but sure enough, she went on to talk about some of the rumors, a couple of those including that the lake was some kind of magical well that scarred anyone who ventured deep inside, and that it was a portal for demons to use and possess the women that feel in its waters.
"Now, ju look like a bright girl despite ju recklessly askin' about Dai Li territory. Ju know none o' dat be true. Howeva'," 'Lynn drew out, now slowly pacing in a calm manner before Lilibeth, smirk only growing wider. "I ain't su'a if a kitten like ju unda'stands dat around he'a, info'amation be valuable. It practically be a currency. So, if I'm gonna be sharin' somet'in' so delicate wit' ju... It ain't gonna come free. An' befo'a ju say ju'll pass an' dat ju'll just go lookin' elsewhe'a, rememba' how risky it be out de'a, askin' about Lake Laogai whe'a de Dai Li could easily he'a ju. I be offa'rin' a place o' freedom an' safety," 'Lynn said, turning to Lilibeth to gently stroke her cheek with the back of a hand, though the look on her face just held more mischief.
"Ain't no one gettin' up he'a on dis flo'a wit'out someone knowin', an' even if dey did, dey ain't gonna he'a us past dese sound-proofed walls. So what's it gonna be, lil' kitten," 'Lynn purred, patting Lilibeth's cheek as she spoke. "Ah' ju gonna pass up dis golden oppa'tunity, o'a do ju got somethin' ju could pay me wit'? An' rememba', it don't hafta be material goods, eit'a. It could be services, too~."
