[She takes a piece of fruit from the platter that Vex has made and pops it into her mouth. She's barely had any of her ale at this point - Yor is an incredible lightweight when it comes to liquor, and this conversation so far has been something she wants to keep sober for.]
It's not about judgement, though. I don't have anything to be ashamed of - the work I do is good. It's about safety - all it takes is one wrong person learning about me and taking that knowledge back home, and I could be killed. Or worse, my daughter and husband could be put in danger because of it.
[How would the Shopkeeper put this? Probably some kind of gardening metaphor, but that kind of thing doesn't really work for Yor.]
That's why I'll ask that you keep this conversation to yourself. I'm sure your friends are all very nice people - I met Caleb and Keyleth, and they were very kind to me when they didn't have to be.
But it's my secret, and my family who might be put in danger. The fewer loose ends there are here, the less the risk for me.
