"Adykon will take your help if you insist on it, and he'd insist on paying you too. But don't worry about us; we're getting along just fine on the farm. Our crops command a high price at the markets towns around here, and our food is even sold in other cities, beyond this fertile valley. Nice thing about living in one of a few green areas in our land" Aerta explained, sitting down next to Yssil. "But right now, you should focus on getting stronger and more skilled. You may be an adult, but you're still a growing young male." 

Aerta reached out and gently put a hand on his back. "I- my husband has probably told you that I overindulge in my maternal instincts. I won't deny that I act very 'motherly' these days, only that I'm not overdoing it." Acting on the same instincts she mentioned, Aerta began to gently rub his back in a circle, using both hands. "My husband put you through quite a bit of strain. I can feel it in your muscles. Oh, if you don't want me to, er, put my hands on your back, I apologize."
