Aspel Cassul: When in doubt, Aspel! (weaponry) wrote in emillion,
A slow nod would be given, a thought crossing her mind of the young woman's circumstances and what Stone must have had to endure on a regular basis to get where she was today. Really, it was a case of a baby raising a baby and it made the smith feel terrible. There had to be something she could do... Something she could manage to. Though, a thought occurred.
"Would it help if I hired you for more regular work?" Maybe it wouldn't, perhaps it wasn't the money but other things that seemed to get in the way. The only other option Aspel had was offering to let the girl live with her and quite frankly, the smith didn't have the room for such a thing and if she was ever found out, well... It would put them all in danger and that was something Aspel would never want hanging over her.
