Re: Marcus/Ariel- Fixing whatever needed it
Ariel almost said that it was different, but then she thought about it and it really wasn't different at all. "It's hard, isn't it? When you don't quite fit somewhere. It's even worse when I'm afraid that I will make people suspicious. I'm not sure I know how to be different."
She shook her head. "It's very kind, but I couldn't take it. I've had the food," she said, making a face at the idea of what passed for food. Even bread didn't taste like the warm bread she would have at the castle. "I'm sure there are plenty of people who need it more than I do."
Ariel sighed. "I've never seen machines like these. I have no idea what 'fixed' means, but you can tell me what to do and do it." There was oil and rags and her poor hands would be completely ruined after this.
