He nodded, before shrugging. "They would, because before those gangs were their family. Most are orphans, or one of a dozen kids and wouldn't be missed except as another mouth to feed. Those gangs were their way of trying to get the world to care about them. Misguided, anger filled attempts, but still ones where they wanted to be more than another beggar on the street. So here, where they get 'free' meals and a place to sleep, as well as training in a REAL adventurers career, rather than self taught and desperately trying to make ends meet, would seem like heaven to most of them. Most of them aren't old enough to shave regularly, Mirada. And the few who did are the ones that led the gangs, and are glad to hand the worries over to an adult who seems to care about them and theirs, and know what they are doing.<br/><br/>As for using so much up, I am not surprised. The three major temples here don't care about the so-called filthy commoners, unless they can pay, and the few shrines that are still running are not able to do more than care for the worst and nearest injuries. Someone like you is almost a godsend. I wouldn't be surprised if they did try to help you pick a spot near them, as I said earlier. Most deaths among them are stupid, easily preventable things. Lockjaw from a rusty nail wound, a fever gone bad, a broken bone that wasn't treated, things like that. One healer, interested in helping rather than prestige or wealth, could save thousands of lives, or several hundred many times. So if they start offering a place to work out of, let me know, I will have one of the trainees head out to look around, see that you are getting the best spot. Suspect they will work you to the bone, and many will be VERY glad of you."
