Celaena knew how to calm the urchins down. They looked up at her, their eyes huge. "She don' mean it, do she?" Silly asked, softly.
"Shush, Silly. Of course she means it." Then Aery stood up, careful to not drop Ame, and curtsied to Celaena. "Thank you, my lady. It means a lot to me to hear you say that." Her eyes went wide at the mention of embroidery classes. After this spiel she'd be disowned from her family for certain, and she'd not paused to consider her future.
"Oh, and here's what's left from what you gave me. You gave me far too much money, my lady. By the way I still owe you nine gold and eight silvers." She handed over the purse. "When I get contracts, I'll pay you back what's left."
To Silly, she said, "Run and get the other children. Have them meet us at the Assassin's Guild. Actually, no, have Liza and Gray and... Maybe Tenk? Whoever's fast and hasn't been on guard duty all week. Have them go and tell all the rest of the under-tens and their families. Have them all come at slightly different times, so that we don't have a hundred urchins waiting in front of the guild. You can figure out time differences, I'm sure, you're a clever lass." Silly ran off with a grin.
