"Oh, I just saw the window. Wait, did you say a job? You didn't strike me as that type."

Eryn nodded. “Going to see mine. Welcome to join. Come sit.” She tapped the seat next to her. This girl was interesting. She was the youngest Northerner Eryn had had the chance to interact with.

"So Zola, how old are you?" 

[Condensation she/her]

Zola shook her head. "The floor's better." She sat down, cross-legged. "I'm eight."

Eryn smiled at the girl. “You are very young being alone. But also agile. Lithe. Acrobat? Or thief?”

[Condensation she/her]

"Any of the above. Hey, why do you talk funny?"

“Am from far away,” Eryn explained. “This language strange to me. You stay with us now? You help me, maybe teach language better. I give food, place stay, clothing, education?” She reaches into her pack, offering a small wrapped truffle, one with a creamy caramel center.

Eryn like children. They were always so delighted with sweets. And the Sovereign was said to be fond of them too, especially urchins like this child. Supposedly they reminded him of his daughter. Eryn didn’t know if that was true, but she doubted he would mind if she took in this one.

Zola happily accepted the candy. "Sure, I'll stay. But you don't have to give me anything, I can fend for myself. And your windows wouldn't thank me."

Eryn laughed lightly. “I not have windows child. Nor I care much for them. But I am glad to care for you. You are smart child; I can teach much.”

"All right. What's your name?"

“I am Eryn, child. From where do you come?”

"Oh, around. Everywhere and yet nowhere." Zola smiled, hiding a hint of melancholy.

Eryn nodded slowly. “I understand. I am from far away. I do not know when I am going home.” If she did well here, she might be sent off of Scadrial entirely and not return for decades - even centuries. Time was strange in the Realm of Mists. “But now you have place. I keep you with me. Keep safe.”

Raven sighed, beginning to feel uncomfortable. The carriage was already crowded and the girl smelled. He hated the Roughs. Kelsier had probably sent him here to humble him... "That's perfectly sentimental, you two, but might we wrap this up? I'm not sure the mine would be all that safe for a child."

[Condensation she/her]

"Safe isn't a problem. Do you need help? I'm a Tineye."

Eryn scowled. “Stays with me,” she said firmly. “I watch. Beside, Ascendant One only twice age when kill old ruler-god up here.” She had learned the Northerners history. It was... interesting, to say the least.

Last night my mom and I were going through cakes, and my first thought upon seeing one had ganache was of this RP

Hey Random Bystander, question - is there a nickname we can use for you?

WOW SALT XD you aren't wrong though

Marie startled when the young girl leapt in, pewter flared before she had fully processed what was going on. Her arms wouldn't move toward the girl to choke her as Marie wanted instinctively to do, but she tensed in her seat, breathing quickly as she watched Eryn interact with her, giving her chocolate. (How long had it been since Marie had had -) She calmed down after a few seconds, listening to their back-and-forth.

Eight? she thought. That wasn't a surprising age to be on the streets, particularly if you lacked money. Not yet old enough for many sorts of work. Marie chewed her lip, considering, then reached out to Ladashwy and gestured hopefully at the blank portion of her notebook.

[Condensation she/her]

Zola turned from her seat on the floor to face the person who didn't want her to come. "Your problem is safety? Well, I think we fixed that. Anything else?"

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Raven sighed, resisting the urge to roll his eyes. This was going to be a long drive. 

The carriage hit a bump in the road and Raven bumped into Marie. "Oh. Sorry."

I’m delighted to hear that I’ve completely altered your perception of chocolate!
