Edrin looked at child who had just entered, he could almost see the scars of her life.  Faces of his past wards flashed across his mind, and his eyes softened.  While Felix stood behind her and talked, Edrin lowered himself to a knee and placed his hands on hers.<br/>He gently closed them around the coins. “You need not pay to rest here, and you may stay as long as you require.  You are wanted and loved here, never feel lost again.”  Edrin gently squeezed her hands, then stood himself back up as Felix began addressing their third arrival.<br/><br/>Turning towards Genevieve, he raised an eyebrow when she mentioned the man.  He glanced back at the door, realizing that his bulk had likely obscured the man’s impact with the wall. He didn’t hit the wall very well, Edrin doubted he’d be getting up.<br/>“I think that may be unnecessary.”  He simply said, taking Genevieve’s hand.  “It is good to meet you, I hope to see you often.”  His attention was taken away from Genevieve again by the third arrival.<br/><br/>This one was different from the first two.  She had opened the door herself, only powerful magic users could do that.  Edrin did not like those, they had a bad habit of believing the world existed for their own pleasure.  A notion he often had to dissuade them of.  But for now, she was a guest, and all guest should be greeted with kindness.<br/>“Welcome Ambrosia, I am Edrin.”  His voice held an air of theatre.  “I hope that the two of us will get along well.”
