War relief... We had people do shit like that in my country, too. Didn't always end well. Heard about some... particularly gruesome incidents that happened in villages between the locals and the humanitarian efforts. Mistrust and all that, I guess.
[Despite her words, a small, wry smile forms, before Jade finishes off what's left of her pipe.]
That is to say... I've seen that war relief can be just as dangerous as fighting in a battlefield. I respect the effort, even if it wasn't always extended to people like me.
[Though perhaps some of the outlanders wouldn't have hated her half-Aeterna heritage as much as the Nehrimese. Jade rarely ever got close enough to know for sure.]
