Alys waited for the smith to motion to her to add more coal, then easily shoveled some into the fire. She smiled to think that such an activity would have tired her not so very long ago, but she'd been working hard to strengthen her body and mind in an effort to gain better control over her magic. And it was working - she had seen great strides in her illusions ever since she had started the work. In any case, it came in handy for more mundane events, like this.
"Business is good," said Alys as the discussion veered away from Ancients and Dygra. "I've got a few steady clients now, for my divination work, and I've been picking up some work as a scribe part-time." It was an improvement on their last conversation, to be sure, and she was pleased that she'd been able to start saving some money again. She didn't want to live on others' charity forever, after all. "What about you? Any luck finding an assistant?"
