Alys considered Tal thoughtfully, wondering what he'd need from an apprentice and what it might be like to work for a friend. She had precious few friends, and she wasn't quite willing to do anything to jeopardize the friendships she had. But depending on the job... maybe it was doable. Just... not from Torchline. "That's why I asked," she explained. "I'm not so sure I'd want to end up in Torchline. I've grown rather fond of Halo." Despite her initial misgivings, the land had really grown on her.
At the mention of her family, Alys made a face. "My parents are merchants. I wasn't interested in learning the family trade, and they didn't approve of my choices." They didn't approve of me. "We haven't spoken in years. I suppose the best thing they gave me was sending me to school, so I know basic math and things like that. I don't know if I could do complicated accounting, like my mother used to do, but I could sell things, I guess." If she absolutely had to.
