    "What's that supposed to mean?" Lucinda shook her head, an attempt to keep Gwendolyn's hand from messing up her hair. "Or perhaps if your daughter would stop sending me to the docks, I wouldn't have been distracted." She complained. "Aunt Charity knows the water and I do not mix. Can I not...

    Lucinda huffed in annoyance, rolling her eyes. "Please Aunt Charity. I can do more! I know I can." She begged her aunt. "This one only went to shit because it was on the docks. That place is a nightmare. Sure the rare items always arrive there first, but you know how I feel about the...

    Lucinda yelped as Evelyn poked at her ribs, smacking her hand away. "Good gods. That's exactly what I need. A lecture from my mother." She rolled her eyes. "Last time she was concerned for my wellbeing, she shipped me off to Eastern Allir to live on a farm with a nice farmer boy. Do you...
