(DL) - backpost-minty and Sky
Sky looked at the pretty purple eyed woman. She wondered how to explain
to someone that your father had tried to sell you to buy more ale.
"He isn't my father anymore. He sold me. Or he would have if M'ressan
hadn't come and claimed me for the Choosing."
The woman looked shocked.
"Oh don't look like that. He was a good man. He never hit me, and he
kept a roof over my head most of the time. It's just that after he lost
his position with Lord Suderan's guards, he couldn't find work. He
couldn't keep both of us fed and he figured that I'd have a better chance
with someone else." Sky didn't know why see was pouring all this out to
a perfect stranger. She just strated talking and couldn't stop. Maybe
it was because she was so desperate for a friend. She had tried, but
things just hadn't work out.
"I'm sorry I don't know why I'm telling you all this. I'm Sky by the
way. You're the new wing second for Gamma aren't you?"
