[font=trebuchet ms]Adelaine would have had a fair point. "Okay" was vague, hard to define, and could only apply to them now in the loosest of senses. They were alive, and all their limbs were attached, but they definitely needed medical help as soon as they could get it- which Rin could provide, but only once she had herbs.
Still, once you got used to functioning on the bare minimum of motivation, help, nutrition, or whatever else, you started to forget what "okay" felt like before that.
Miyuki was more upfront, though Rin doubted that Adelaine's simpler answer meant she was doing any better. Their worlds had fallen apart around them, they were both understandably terrified, they really had no reason to trust her... they needed food, water, sleep, medical treatment, and so many other things that the Ascendants could provide, but only once they got there safely. Sure, they were at the border, but how long until someone came by to let them in?
Rin opened her mouth to speak, when she noticed someone coming up to them- someone she didn't recognize, but she could tell from their scent that they belonged here. They would be able to help.
At his question, she nodded. "I'm Rin," she answered, then gestured to the two children, "Adelaine, Miyuki. Long story, but yeah, we're here for shelter." Taking a deep breath, and nearly shuddering at the frigid air, she added, "Used to be a cleric here. I can treat their injuries, just need herbs- and food." No reason not to be short and to the point as much as possible, given the weather.
