"What kind of work do you do by the way?" Emmelyn asked the woman just to start a conversation. After being alone for so long, she actually started to miss the human connection.
Her conversation with Elora, the innkeeper, or other people she met with in passing to look for information was not enough. She also couldn't talk to herself because people would think she was crazy.
Seeing how bold this woman was, traveling and eating by herself without trying to disguise her appearance, her tanned healthy skin, and her carefree attitude, Emmelyn was interested in knowing the woman better.
"My work?" The woman looked up from her pork rib and smiled in amusement. "It is not for the faint-hearted."
"Try me," said Emmelyn, getting more interested. At that moment, Mary came with a tray of food and started serving them to her. Emmelyn mouthed her thank you and took her bread and started munching. "I think my heart is strong enough."
