"oh.. hi. I'm Lorri" She says pulling her legs up under her "I'm.. thank you. The fire helps"

"Lorri, of course. Here. I hope this will help as well." he sets the tray down.

She takes it "I can't seem to stop... helping. I gave them everything"

"Whom?"

"Anyone ... everyone.. anyoone who seemed to need help. This charity organization calls it field work"

"Which organization? I thought I was familiar with all those in this area."

"One World Outreach" she says "It's new to this area .. so I was told"

He thinks.
(HAS he heard of it?)

He has.. a new comer... a bit shady from his perspective... his first thought was it was a tax dodge

"Hmph. Well, learn and live, one hopes, hm? Now you eat up and rest." He pauses, lingering a moment; his earlier kenning gave no sign of magical influence on her?

Cold...which is better... but it is almost as if the banality accompanies something that preys on her boggan call of the needy

"I'll... I'll do that, sir. Thank you"

"My dear, I recommend when you leave here... and not before three days, please....you steer clear of this 'One World Outreach' business."

"I'll try... it was .. like I could never do enough, never help enough"

"My point exactly." he murmurs "There comes at which the call of the needy becomes the call of the greedy, and one that can never be satisfied with giving."

A horrified look "I.. oh my. "

"An easy mistake to make, my dear." he pats her hand "Eat something. It will help to balance you."

"I will..." SHe dines "I'm sorry to be a burden"

"You are not." he assures "You know better than most the enjoyment one can take in serving others."
