What were her skills? 100% whole Apple of earlier times would have replied with something witty and cheeky, but the 60% that was left unharmed was not that bold. She took her time and pondered her answer in silence. It was not easy to find one, good-for-all characteristic to describe her and she did not have access to the sophisticated ones either. There were blank spots, where her portfolio shone with many achievements and valuable life experience, she realized that there had to be something to build these empty spaces, but she could not come up with anything.
Therefore she tried a different technique: what did she see now? Her coat had a somewhat unkempt appearance, since she had been more occupied with sorting her life out during the past two weeks. But she did not feel hunger or cold, even though she could not recall, what had been the last thing she had eaten and when. So - a hunter. And alive. That had to count for something, right? Her confusion and moments of amnesia aside, she did not feel sick. So... she was a healthy individual too. She cast a quick glance at Rory - the kid seemed to like her. So... she had to be a good person.
All that was left to do, was to sum them up and present in a favourable light and she tried: "I... I provide for myself, I hunt and I have stayed alive for longer than I can remember." The last part was not exactly a lie. She had been on her own, when she had woken up with her illness. "I like children and am good with them," she added a brief moment later, when this memory sprang out of the pool like a beautiful fish. There was more confidence in her voice, as she said this, because the words felt true to the core. She could not have got this wrong.
"And I can help with, whatever you need, if that is possible for me to do it," she finished.
