Wow, Kanea was jumpy... she definitely struck Quan-Li as someone who didn't get spend too much time around people, or had been attacked quite a bit - or both. He didn't take offense to it. They were strangers, after all, and as a young woman, he was sure she had to be more careful than he would. "It's okay. No harm done," he said, hoping to placate her a bit. She was hard to read, though that didn't normally bother him. She wasn't meeting his eyes. That could be because of nerves, though. He had already thought last night that she seemed like someone that didn't spend a whole lot of time around other people, but it was also possible that he was simply overthinking it trying to figure her out. She was such a mystery to him, and he wasn't sure how he felt about that. On the other hand, she didn't owe him anything.
When he saw her take one of the fish, indicating that it was done despite the fact that she had told him already to help himself, he reached over and took one and began to eat. He caught the apple when it was thrown. "Thanks, and pretty well. The walls certainly help me sleep better at night," he said. "Less chance of people trying to mess with me because I'm travelling alone." That still happened, of course, but not nearly as much. He was also sure that he was not bothered as much as she would be. Being a woman, that probably happened more than she liked. She seemed like someone could handle herself, though. At least that was the feeling that he had gotten since she had wandered into his camp last night.
"Same. I can build a shelter easily enough for when it rains, but I'd prefer not to be in between towns when that happens, you know?" Quan-Li told her. He had set the apple down in his lap, and was eating the fish. It was easier to already be in town when the weather turned bad, but since he usually kept moving, it made it a pain in the ass to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere during a thunderstorm.
