Oops, Title Misspell.

[quote][color=yellow]Her hands were shaking as she pulled a few pounds from her wallet. I watched as they trembled and carefully placed the brass into the hands of the clerk[/color], standing behind the wooden counter. There was no warm mead to be had in the establishment, but the cold would do just fine for her.  I felt the need to remove my cloak and wrap it around her, but instead I thought, No, her son, the one who had all her attention and heart. I shall clothe him instead, as she seemed to be so distracted by him to not realize how tremendously beautiful she was, standing there stricken cold in all of her simple attire.[/quote]

You mean Cleric? A clerk is like a cashier...

[quote]I kept thinking to myself, [color=yellow]How could I, a man too much of an elder, come across her without seeming as some rich fool or jerk or contrarian to my own philosophical and theological endeavors?[/color] A man of my honor had no need for a lady, nor a used one at that. However, I still found myself quite intrigued by her very nature. We had spoken slight words prior to our meeting at the shop, and she had seemed a bit dazzled by my outfit. Though, I thought her simple form, spent in underweight peasantry, was all the more delightful to admire. There was something about her. [color=green]Perhaps, it was her personality.[/color] Whatever it was, I wanted to know, but first, I would put my cloak around the boy.[/quote]

Pick one of three. (I’d remove fool/jerk) because those are already implied when you say a cleric/priest is contrarian. (And maybe rich too. Since it’s not the only time it’s implied.)

He hasn’t spoken to her yet, and doesn’t know her. So if that was a subtle attempt at humor. It works.

[quote]She was overly grateful for the cloak; black silk with rabbit fur, gold piping, and equally rich buttons. As I tied the cloak around the boy, I heard the ticking of my pocket watch, and was reminded of my own childhood. There were men just like me at every corner in my own day-to-day. [color=yellow]Why was this? Because I had been raised in the most eloquent of homes, with the most eloquent of families, with the most eloquent of manners.[/color] I had everything handed to me, if not on a silver platter than on something even more lavish. To see such poor creatures, notably aware that my lifestyle existed, pulled my heart into believing this one gesture would be something to give them warmth. If not for a lifetime, then for at least today.[/quote]

[color=green]“I had been raised in the most eloquent of homes, families and manners.”[/color], More concise.

[quote]“The pleasure is all mine, madam,” I said with the finest style of speech I could muster; having found that my back was feeling chilly already, no longer being sheltered from the breeze. Thankfully, I had my goblet, and I awaited to see if the lady would say anything before I took a sip for some warmth. [color=fff200]She said nothing daintily,[/color] and I went onwards with the same chivalrous curiosity that had driven me to comfort her boy with my cloak, by comforting her with my words. “I would never wish to see such a fine young lad as yours fall ill from such a lovely winter. Such tragedy happens all the time, and I shan’t see it happen today, not to yours, anyhow,” I was a unsure if she understood my gesture. She was unusually docile with certain things, and I could tell we were certainly of different classes.[/quote]

If I could nitpick from unnecessary padding. Remove "daintily", We know how the character sees her already. And as a reader I can't imagine "saying nothing" to mean anything else in terms of visual information.

[quote]“‘Comp’ment’d ya attire ya m’ments ago. ‘Eally, ya too kind f’r all’o’s, s’r,” she replied with unstable shyness, and I wanted to lift those spirits for the moment, as there was embarrassment in her manners. She seemed too afraid to say much more,[color=yellow]and she had a speech impediment that made it a bit hard to clearly know her wording.[/color] I thought perhaps she was from a foreign country, or she had never been taught proper English. I was lead to heavily believe the latter, but as a gentleman, decided not to make assumptions about her, even if the given sin was written all over her. [color=yellow]However, With a sudden realization that my status had always made me feel insecure for reasons such as these,[/color] I chose to turn a blind eye, as men of my stature did not have the best reputations for treating women in her position well. I am not God for Heaven’s sake, and neither shall I resort to being a Pharisee who had Christ, His only begotten Son, nailed to the Cross. Today, I believed I could change that, at least for myself, and I followed and supported her gratefulness by begging the question, “Would madam mind if she and her son accompanied me for a scrumptious supper?”[/quote]

Remove that first/highlighted sentence, since the dialogue makes that apparent already. Plus the other following sentence is a better elaboration coming from a character perspective.

Nothing wrong with a simple story. Yet it still felt a little long considering all that you learn by the end could be fit in a single sentence. “A wealthy priest offers an inarticulate, poor girl that he finds beautiful and her son, a meal.”

I guess the character itself could be repetitive, since the whole story kind of goes through his thoughts. But considering the judgement of her words and being a cleric himself, that’s out of place.

There’s not really any prose or much of anything to keep the reader’s mind going. The best part of the story is not directly stating they’re in some kind of church and that itself can be implied and imagined by the reader. And churches are often beautiful enough in there own right that words hardly describe them. So that works fine and you don’t directly need to imply its a mother with a child either. Perhaps, if the man’s own job position was never stated right at the start and the whole god thing was more subtle. It could have a little more intrigue to the story. Otherwise, not much else to say either way.

Also: I already privately mentioned this, but since everything was already in first person. The italicized bits for thoughts and also used for emphasis didn't mesh structurally.
