[Open] Home is where your head lies

Ailwin nodded, understanding the weight of Flea's words and the struggle she faced. His expression softened with empathy as he responded.

Of course, Flea. Keeping in touch is crucial, especially when things can change so rapidly. I'll make sure to keep you updated on any developments.

He could see the resolve in her eyes, the determination to believe in something better, even if it meant trusting him. He admired her strength and resilience, knowing how difficult it must be for her to place her faith in someone else.

You won't have to worry about stealing or looking over your shoulder anymore, he assured her with a gentle smile. We'll make sure you have everything you need without resorting to that.

Ailwin leaned in slightly, lowering his voice to match the seriousness of the conversation. And you're right. We need to be cautious about discussing the organization. There are ears everywhere. Let's find a safer place where we can talk freely. One of our establishments is just around the corner from here.

He gestured for her to follow him, leading her towards one of the gambling dens. As they walked, he continued to speak in a reassuring tone. Trust is not easily given, but I promise you, Flea, you're making the right choice. Together, we'll work towards a better future for all of us. And this isn’t me expecting more from you than I’m willing to give myself. You’re also free to give as much as you can, we elves need to stick together!

Ailwin hoped his words would provide her with some comfort and reassurance. He knew the path ahead wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to help Flea find the stability and security she deserved.
