As long as it answered the questions, Fran would have called the explanation sufficient. What Rishfee gave them was a good deal more than that. It certainly wasn't uninteresting, not by a long shot, but it was certainly beyond what she'd been expecting. Even if she did - much as Balthier did - expect that some facts had been left out. People who had tendencies to attract spies rarely gave the whole truth.

But what had been given was plenty to work with, regardless. He was a hume with a goal, and more so, one looking for a woman. Not entirely uncommon in wars and in their line of work. That someone considered this woman important enough to poison someone on her trail was less so.

A shame there was little way to tell if the woman would show here.

"You would not want the abilities of a Heartless," she agreed. "They are mindless beings. Not something one would care to take."

As for the fact that he could turn into monsters at all, that was beyond interesting, although few would have been able to tell her thoughts on the matter. Ivalice had no such people, no ways to change ones own form outside of tales or the addition of nethicite, and the latter was rarely worth the effort to say nothing of the fact that few (perhaps 'none' in wake of more recent events) knew how to even proceed there.
