At Lucien's last question, Faolan groaned and shook his head. [color=a36209]"Shi-..."[/color] he glanced at the boy and then back at Lucien before continuing. [color=a36209]"Bad, for me at least. There was a desk clerk, grocer, and one dictation job."[/color] He set his bowl down and fished into his jacket pocket. He handed Lucien a folded scrap of paper before picking up his food once more.

He knew that this meant that Lucien would have to go into town and work while he stayed here with the child. There was no way both of them could leave him alone out in the woods, even if he was capable of fending for himself. Town wasn't far, but if anyone stumbled across their campsite and decided to check it out, or worse, rob it, then the kid would be left exposed. One of them would have to stay back to make sure nothing went wrong, and Faolan knew that it would have to be him unless a new job went up within the next several days. Town didn't seem lacking in bodies when he was there, so he doubted this would happen. It wasn't the most horrible thing, but he was still nervous about being alone with the boy. Lucien always made him feel at ease, so his presence would be a big help with the two of them bonding.
