Heloise waited for Solan to come out the store, having very little money left. She supposed she would have to go on a job soon to get some money, so she could at least keep Gallant in his stable, and have a room for herself as well. She wondered if she could sleep on the floor of the guild hall tonight. 

Her stomach rumbled loudly, causing a little girl running past her to pause and give her a funny look.She appeared grubby, her clothes torn slightly, and as thin as a stick, as the saying went in any case "I bet you are as hungry as I am" Heloise said to her, "I have some coin, and a growing girl needs food" She took the few measly coins out of her pocket, and held it out to the girl. The girl, fearing it was a trap, approached her carefully, then snatched the coins from Heloise's hand and fled down the street. 

Heloise remembered what it was to be like that, so she didn't mind. Besides, she could always go and hunt herself some food with her bow and arrows. Heloise sighed, and turned back to the shop, thinking she probably looked as bad as the girl did, minus the torn clothes. Dirty, dusty, and travel worn Heloise surprised she had even made a good impression to the master. 

She sighed once more, watching Solan interact with the shop keeper, and pull out some of her feathers. Heloise frowned, wondering why she would do that, until Solan handed them to the shop keeper. Well, that was a good idea. Some people were superstitious, and liked to have their little good luck charms.
