Re: Fleeing Fate (Takimaru)
The blacksmith received Elysia's vulnerable look with as much grace as he could, managing to fumble a grimace into a passable reassuring smile, a look they shared only between the two of them as only Alaric could see the seamstress's face. He managed to hold that look throughout the entirety of what she said, but it gradually faded from his face as he replied; "A mutual friend of Eartha and I has agreed to look after you for a little while. Her home is somewhat remote, and Eartha says that the peace and quiet will be good for you."
He paused, and though his expression had returned to its usual blankness there was a note of surety in his voice that was oddly comforting to Elysia as he continued, "You will be welcome in my home for as long as you would choose to stay there of your own free will Elysia, and my initial conditions remain. I would not ask a task of you that you would not willingly take on, no matter the circumstances. It was not you who has caused us trouble, and those... Men.... Will not return to cause anyone in Blinlock further harm."
Alaric paused again, and his reassuring smile returned for a moment before vanishing again as he more quietly and evenly concluded, "I'm sure that our friend could find a task for you, or if you would prefer to find something else to occupy yourself with, she or Eartha ought to be able to find something for you. If nothing else, you could retrieve your sewing kit from my home. I did not think to bring it with me when I took you to see Eartha last night."
Elysia: HP = 44, PP = 42, EP = 112, Status = Fine
