[Marian Hawke]

"That might work," agrees Hawke. 

[Addina]

"What type of day do you want them to plan?"

[Marian Hawke]

"Uh." She freezes. "What... kind of days are there?"

[Addina]

"Oh you know like busy days or slow days. Do you want them each to plan an event to introduce you to society?"

[Marian Hawke]

"..I guess I had better, hadn't I?"

[Addina]

"Excellent! Each one can devise a two hour engagement for us to attend together day after tomorrow. I can devise it if you wish?"

[Marian Hawke]

"Taht would be great, thank yo uso much."

[Addina]

"Ofcours hawk." I smile stroking her cheek "tell me what do you enjoy doing with your days? Mine are mostly open. So I spend most of my time either reading or studying unless of course there's outsiders around in which case I'm playing the ditzy spoiled brat."

[Marian Hawke]

"I haven't had a time I didn't have to work or go to school in... well, my whole life, really."

[Addina]

"Oh!" I flush slightly embarrassed..." do...you want to work? You don't have too! But you can......"

[Marian Hawke]

"...would I get paid?"

[Addina]

"For work?" I tilt my head "i mean most royals don't given the allowance but lower nobles often request paymemt"

[Marian Hawke]

"well, but I' not staying forever, I need to put aside money to live on afterward."

[Addina]

"How expensive is your world? You get 600 gold a month every month until you pass on! Is that a poverty wage? I can't have that! I can rais your severance pay!"

[Marian Hawke]

"Wait, every month forever?"
