"You got it." Tera nod her head in reply waiting at the carriage as Tehr made his way inside with the dwarven woman who followed him without a real complaint, looking at him and drawing a deep breath. "Just a couple ruffians telling me this place would make for a good location for a new store and that I should just sell and go live with the other dwarves. I told them that I'm not selling, but they kept pressing on the issue. I took a cleaver in hand when they suggested things might get dangerous, and let them know that I've dealt with burglars and even an arsonist before." Her tone was serious but a bit more relaxed.<br/><br/>There was a shout from a bit further, with Liam walking out from a nearby room. "Mr. Wynt! Its a good job it is, and I like the perk with it." The boy was grinning widely, while Ironna smiled a bit then nodding. "Alright, take your break for now, and we'll continue after a line's worth of time has passed."<br/><br/>There was a candle set up nearby with thin lines in it that seemed to measure 10 minutes worth of time passing, a whole candle roughly two hours worth of burn. Cheap but usually pretty accurate. For any scribe they were useless, their candles had to be able to last a lot longer, so a different mixture was used, but then again those were not very useful in measuring time in turn.<br/><br/>"The boy's been doing fair." Ironna said after Liam had ran off. "Boy's not stolen anything and has come to work on time too, though usually wanting to sleep somewhere else. I did offer him a room at the back of the store, after seeing he could be trusted. He's getting to keep a couple cuts now and then, more meat in a week than some street kids get in their whole lives. Think he's shared it with some of his friends. I get him some other food to eat too, and some coin. Though he doesn't seem as excited about the coin right now. Came to work today with a black eye. Thinking someone's bullying the boy out of his wages, but haven't been able to get him to tell if so." The dwarven woman adjusted her belt, but her ample bosom jiggled somewhat as she did so.<br/><br/>"I think its up to him to handle it but I'm still ready to help. Not many honest lads coming off of those streets, don't want him to give up because of some idiot."
