Visiting a hot spring you helped open isn't "living in luxury." It's just a break, and I really love hot springs! But that's not what all I meant when I said this Hero work isn't so bad.

[He seems more disgruntled with the situation in general than with her specifically. That isn't something she can help, and she isn't trying to justify herself... it's more that he's made Aisha want to open up about something, so he can very well sit and listen to it. ]

Back home, Aisha had just finished a pretty big assignment. I decided to take a bit of a break from working, because some jerk owed me and I wasn't gonna let him cheap out. But I've spent my whole life in service to the Empire, so... [Who knows how to take a break?] Here, I have something to do, something that actually matters again. Meeting new people, seeing new places, fighting for a cause, I enjoy all of that. Literally, the work isn't so bad.

[Meaningful work is what she enjoys the most. Having said her piece, she grabs another bite to eat.]
