"Hmmmm,"  Tehr said tapping his chin.<br/><br/>"If I could get you a young boy, human, would you treat him fairly?  Teach him the craft?  Maybe even find him a place to sleep if he needs one?"  Tehr's mind went to the urchin boy he'd used a few times over the last few days.  The waif always looked like he needed a meal, and had prooved himself trust worthy in the house of a rich nobleman.  Nothing had come up stolen and Tehr was fairly sure he'd seen the boy loitering about, probably hoping for more work.<br/><br/>"I know a young lad, maybe twelve or so, hard worker, scrappy too.  He seems honest enough, he was in my home and didn't steal anything.  But I don't know much more about him, even his name.  But if you're desperate for help, I am pretty sure he's looking for any sort of work.  It might help your buisness too if you put him out as the 'face' of your shop as it were also.  Put a human face on your shop.  Personally I think that's a mistake to hide a beauty like yourself... but other close minded human centric types around town might respond well to it."<br/><br/>Tehr held up a finger,  "But I can't vouch for him, he is a street boy.  I don't really know him and you'd have to keep a close eye on him till you made your own judgements.  But I think it might be a solution for you."<br/><br/><br/>Tehr waited for her response and then added, "As for being clanless, I can't help you with that.  Dwarven politics are far beyond my ken for now.  But I may be able to find you a family of sorts as long as you don't mind them being other than dwarven."   He was thinking of house Saari.  He didn't know if they would take in a laborer, but Ironna seemed to have more to offer then just her skill as a butcher.  However he wasn't going to suggest this right away.  He would try to bed her and woo her to his side first.  Only if he had made a good impression on her would he then introduce her to House Saari.  That way if she was accepted, he'd have a friendly face, and hopefully bed, inside that house of his allies.
