Trinket stared blankly at the man. "Why does my behavior seem like I would play you for a fool?"
She turned that thought around in her mind. Curious. She thought about her behavior during the time she'd spent with him. Her ponderings could not bring up am answer.

She held her doll out with both hands, holding the doll up where the blacksmith could get a good look at it. "She's my friend. I found her in a trash pile. Someone didn't want her, but I want her, so now she's mine. I take her everywhere I go. I go lots of places."
She thought briefly about all the places she had been. It seemed like a lot. But she knew the names of every place in Caido. And she hadn't been to anywhere near enough of them yet.
