Myr shook her head good-naturedly. "Nobody ever remembers the second half of that saying. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back." Her lips quirked into a small smile, but her expression eventually grew somber as he told the rest of the story. It was troubling to her that someone would actively seek to become an assassin. Granted, she did not think that made Matt or Shadow or Kain a bad person, but... the ability to use lethal force was the part of herself which she was most wary of, and it would be no mistake to guess that sometimes she wished she were without it.

Another part of her, though, knew full well that without the knowledge and training she possessed, she would not be half the doctor she was. To transcend violence and to treat it, you must understand it. This was the central doctrine of her people, and she truly believed it. However, it was not an error to say that most people never got to the 'transcendence' part, and stopped at being able to dispense death at will.

"I take it you are considering traveling with us? I hope you realize the consequences of coming with us." Myr considered for a moment, tilting her head to the side a bit even as she observed that Shadow and Matt must have finished the discussion that occupied them. On body language alone, she would say that the red-eyed assassin had agreed to pass on at least some measure of his knowledge. Did she fully understand the repercussions? Maybe, at least insofar as she had the requisite information.

"I understand what I have been allowed to understand," she replied neutrally. "There is much more to your story than I am aware of, certainly, but I do realize that my life is at risk as much as yours. Perhaps moreso, as I imagine that unlike the rest of you, I am easily mistaken for a soft target." The slightest hint of mirth crept into her eyes. "If you are under the same impression, I assure you I am not the sort to allow myself to become a liability." She knew that if it came to that point, she would simply remove herself from the situation. She had no desire to be an inconvenience, after all.
