[That's... That's a lot to take in all at once. Yona's gaze lowers as she worries her lower lip, mulling it over piece by piece. So, she's going to be stuck here for a while, but time doesn't move back home? The others won't even notice that she's gone. In some ways, that's a huge relief and she can feel a weight lifting off her chest. It's never Yona's intention to ever make anyone worry about her and she does her best to never give them a reason to even if she knows that's more or less futile. Hak will always worry about her because he's her bodyguard and he's going to see things through to the end. Yoon will always worry because that's simply what he does for each of them no matter what despite what he might say. And Kija, Shin-Ah, Jae-Ha, and Zeno can't exactly help it with their dragon's blood and their belief in her as their master even if she never feels that way herself. In others ways, however, that worries her that they'll never notice because what if something does happen to her here? Or to anyone else for that matter? What happens then?]
[But looking at Julian, she doesn't think he probably has the answer to that question. Maybe he does to her other question.]
Free? [Once, Yona might not have questioned this. She never knew what it was like to not have money or to go without. But now she does and she understands that money is somewhat of a double-edged sword. It creates stability, an easy means of exchange and value upon goods, but it also creates want and debt. It's the latter that she's immediately concerned with. Free... There has to be a catch somewhere.] How is that possible if there are shops?
