Aiden spent most of his days helping out at the smithy, and on other days, he would work guard shifts with Argurious. On his rare off time, he would help out with things that needed fixing around the brothel, something he decided to do to help balance the low price that they were charged for their room. He had to admit that he was a bit shy and embarrassed at first being where they were and the sounds he would hear, but over time he has grown more accustomed to it. He was very grateful for their generosity and tried to do whatever he could to show it. Even getting into a few brawls here and there when 'customers' got a little too rowdy or abusive. The boy may not have been as large as a number of men, but he was still tough for his age and precise with his actions, which especially worked in his advantage of the person was drunk.
	Aiden was the oldest in the group, and felt protective of the other two by now, like an older brother. He was quick to make decisions that he would believe is best for the group, or to give advice even if it wasn't asked for. Occasionally he would even less if he felt there wasn't enough for all three of them, usually claiming that he had eaten earlier and wasn't too hungry. He felt like there was always something watching him, and it bothered him, though he didn't share with the others as he didn't want to worry them, they all had enough on their minds. He would be sixteen by the end of spring, and it made him think about where he was in life. Aiden had seen people leave and start their own lives at that age. It may have been tad early to some, but to a lot of working folk it was fairly common. These past few months a seemed to make Aiden mature more than other people his age around the town though he often didn't hang around anywhere too often, either to tired from working or just wanting to go relax at their temporary home to see what was needed and to hang around Argurious and Brisa. It was when he was in their company that he truly relaxed at the end of the day, knowing everybody was safe an sound.

	Today was like most days at the forge. Lots of parts for different farm tools and carts needed, though nothing out of the ordinary. 'The fun stuff' as Aiden would call it such as repairs for arms and armor, maybe the occasional simple weapon. It was pay day today and when he left, the blacksmith gave him his pay for the week. Aiden gave him his thanks and started on his way back to the brothel, greeting everybody as he came in and went upstairs to their room, hoping one of his companions might be there by now.
