The Viera took a step back. "Gods no, I don't have the physical constitution for such acts of reckless bravery. Granted I can defend meself if the situation calls for it, but I am just a simple juice vendor." Seeing the Adventurer's confusion, Kaine would simply smile and elaborate. "Orange Juice is my specialty, made by yours truly with various blends and combinations of other fruits and berries."
