"Congratulations on your commission," she spoke with a smile, "an officer and a gentlemen I see!" She then looks a bit sour, "Don't tell Doc about it as his past relations with Bretonia haven't been very good. They always give him a hard time."
She put on a sweet smile at his offer of a place on New London, "That's so sweet of you to offer me that but as Doc explained it to me, he's setting up a place for Benjen and I while I finish my studies at Cambridge Medical. I don't know where my path takes me from there. It'll be new territory for us."
"One thing I do like about being here," she began to answer, "there is no judgement. It's the one thing I love the most about here. Many of us have well, less than ideal backrounds. While I don't think being a young, single mother is awful, others do. Benjen's father is dead, a victim of his own arrogance. One day, I'll find the right man to be his father I'm sure."
Inside, she found him to be most enjoyable. He listened and was objective. While her past may have been full of much hardship, she somehow felt as if he related.....and it kept her feeling warm.
