"That sounds good," Trinket said with a tiny nod. She tucked her axe away and picked her doll back up, holding it dangling by one hand. "But why would I go to an inn? Inns are boring."
She could, she considered, make things more interesting for the people at the inn. People in an inn tended to be dull, sitting around, eating, drinking. It would be much more fun to do something to make their day a little different.
She followed Sah, considering all he had said today. She knew what a bounty hunter was, but not how to be a bounty hunter. Curious.
"How do you become a bounty hunter?" she asked, dragging her doll along behind her. "Someone has to want to have someone killed, right? But I need to find who wants to hire me first. Maybe I should post a notice on the board. Can you help me? I don't know how to write."
She knew words. She knew every word, in every language. She knew the shapes of them, and could read them fine. But knowing was not experience, just as knowing what an axe was hadn't taught her how to use one. She didn't know how to make her hands perform the right motions to make words on a page. It might be interesting to learn.
Sah was an interesting person. Perhaps she would learn a lot from him. Time would tell.
