Bear smiled a little at her concern. "No, I won't don't worry." At least he didn't think he would, not that he much cared. "But he is conducting business and you will find that the most disagreeable time to catch him is of he is doing business. Do you know what your new master does?" He asks her, realizing she may not. "He works in security for the wealthy, setting up systems and organizing body guards." He answers anyway, whether she knew or not.

Zaccai hesitated before answering. There was glass in her foot, he should probably get that out..."it is brutal, kill or be killed, that sort of thing. If you wanted to live you won, only in the end did you learn if you were to kill, torture, or disable the loser." He says in monotone, no emotion showing through. He didn't dare glance up at her. "You have glass stuck in your foot. I will need something to pull it out and something to get the blood out of the way." He adds, still in monotone. Heaven forbid he sound like he actually might care a little.

When Raven had finally gotten over the queasiness she filed her hands neatly in her lap and then stared down at them. Not daring to look at him or the food and she was out of water so that didn't much matter. There was still more than half the food left and she wished it would just go away. Perhaps she was too trained to eat only slop every now and then.
