Ashinn's father looked at Mike with a raised eye brow. ''This is family business young lad, not your business I would say'' he said. Fernando sighed. ''It's okay Mike, I'll bring him home.. Could you try to check on Ashlinn.. We all know she isn't much of a talker but maybe that Snow can help you..'' he said and then took his father back home.

Ashlinn sat at home and had made some light for herself and just sat on her small couch. She didn't own much, just a little house most near the forest with a separated bedroom, which she btw mostly used to make her potions and ointments, a small kitchen attached to her living room and a small bathroom. She mostly slept on the couch and that you could see as a pillow and blanket laid on it. It wasn't very comforting and she knew that if she would marry, the elders would give her a bigger house which meant more room for herself and Snow. But she wasn't really interested in much people around her. Of course she knew that Mike, the merc with the dragon vein, had a crush on her. But, she didn't know.. 

As if she was thinking of the devil, Mike knocked on her door and asked if she could open the door for him. She sighed and then got up. She walked over to the door and opened it for him. ''Hi..'' she whispered, this was kind of the first time she started a conversation with him. ''Come in...'' she then said, knowing he wouldn't go away so easily. Snow meowed and jumped from the couch and walked to the kitchen, there she had another pillow and she would lay down on that one, always did on the rare moments Ashlinn had a visitor.
