Anita gave Quillion a smile as he added on the title of Veilwarden. She had no idea what it meant and knew very little of the Brotherhood. Her smile wasn't mocking, but it was encouraging. Even if she didn't follow his faith, he should be proud of what he was - and what he had done to help the people here today. She really hoped that his experience didn't keep him from coming back.
She nodded at his assessment of his own injuries. Quillion didn't seem to be breathing hard or anything. Anita looked up at him as he mentioned she was good at her job. What she was doing really wasn't difficult, but he had perhaps sensed more than just her going through the motions. He was understanding that she actually did care.
"I don't like seeing people hurt," she explained and gave him a grin. "I guess I picked the right profession."
Quillion thanked her for the care and was silent before giving her a nod. "You're very welcome," she said, her gaze moving towards where the man who had assaulted Quillion had gone before she turned back to face him. She spoke quietly. "Try not to hold it against him. I've worked a lot with those who are...less fortunate. Most down here are worried about their next meal or shelter, and some...well...they're angry. Trust me - most people here are grateful even if they don't show it." Anita gave him an encouraging smile as she stood up and offered her hand to help him to his feet.
