Izzy sat down heavily on her bunk, exhausted after hours of looking after the little ones and attending to the daily chores. Everyone had their own work to do and nobody in the dorms could afford charity, you either scratched each others backs or went without. That was getting harder for her and wasn't going to get easier.
After two months she was getting better at understanding the languages spoken in the dorms, especially the main trading language that seemed to have a lot of gestures instead of spoken words. Reading was still a struggle but she worked diligently on learning as often as she could, mostly in snippets of time snatched here or there when the children were napping and her chores were done while Tom and Sookie were still at work.
She looked up as a group of workers entered the dorm, others had left a short time earlier for the start of their shift and those they'd relieved were coming in. Sookie was among them and Izzy raised a weary hand in greeting. "Hello sweetheart, how was work?"
