<span style="font-family:Amaranth">Alexandria paused at that, taking his words into consideration. She could understand his hesitation to accept such an offer, as it was one that seemed too good to be true. However, it was a genuine offer with no real catch other than he had to stop stealing. She smiled warmly at him, shaking her head as she moved to step closer to him. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">"I was thinking of employing you at the castle and not in town. You would not need to worry about your reputation at the castle. The kitchen always needs help. You do not have to be able to cook. You could just run errands for them and such. It would not be the first time someone of unfavorable background would be hired."</span><br/>
<br/>
She seemed quite pleased with herself, knowing that she had easily solved the problem he had brought up. If he worked in the kitchens, he wouldn't need to worry about causing an establishment to run out of business. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">"If the kitchens or not to your fancy, I could have it arranged for you to be a servant or perhaps a stable boy in the stables."</span><br/>
<br/>
She tilted her head, brushing some of her wavy blonde hair over one shoulder as she looked at him. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">"However, if you cannot promise that, then I cannot help you. My father would never employ someone who would steal from him. If you change your ways, he will have no trouble giving you a chance. If you cannot make a decision now, then I am afraid I cannot stop the guards from taking you away to the dungeons. You can send word to me through a guard if you wish to accept my offer. It is the best that I can do for you, Wes."</span> She moved to turn away, intent on walking away. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">"You may keep the necklace that you stole, I have plenty others."</span></span>
