"Given the state you're in, I'd say most people don't want to meet you in a dark alley." Her expression remains calm, but there's a flash of mischief in her eyes as she says that. The taunt is there and she can't let the opportunity slip by.
"Since you don't know how you got here, you'll need help getting out. There are a few... people around here who specialize in making or finding portals to other world." Why the hesitation with the word people? The slightly pursed lips suggest at least one of the forementioned portal makers don't meet her quality standards.
"They'll want something in return from you for their services. One asks for a handshakes and a promise that you won't come after him if things should go awry, but I call bullshit on that. There's more to it, I can feel it." Ahh, so that's where the sour look comes from. "The other often asks for a single hair from your head, for some sort of spell to find the portal and... I don't even know what else." Beat. Slight hesitation. Let's not mention the last one - he hasn't exactly offered his services to the Nexus as a whole. "But it's up to you to decide if you'd like to speak with either of them."
Because while finding someone a way home is a very appealing idea, this odd sensation washing over her as they speak begs for more investigation. And that means keeping him here a little longer.
