Maybe her grasp of this new language isn't as perfect as she'd been assured it would be. Or maybe this woman, Annie, is not just from somewhere with a different accent and language to Greece, but somewhere a misthios is not so common a sight as it is in Greece.

"People hire me, to do things for them. Find a lost husband or deal with bandits or protect them from someone who wishes them harm. There are many things that someone who is not a fighter might pay a warrior to do. I ... do those things."

She tilts her head to one side, a little ruefully. "And when there are not many people who wish to pay for someone to solve their problems, I sell things to blacksmiths and hunt for my food."
