Making Money

We lived together in the deeper sewer for a solid week, I fed her daily and she barely changed in condition. There never was an investigation into the sewers, and I spent the time collecting stuff for selling later.

She would stay with my stash, and I would explore the sewer for items, over time her one eye got some light in it.

"Today we got a few books, some old pieces of armor, and an old dagger. Alright gathering up everything this past week should be about 7 silvers with the old lady, kind of sucks she is the only major buyer."

Talking to her had become my favorite time after a busy day, she would follow along with her good eye and I enjoyed a listener.

"Tomorrow I am getting you chicken blood, move your eye up and down if it is good for you or side to side if it's bad."

Her eye moved up and down slowly, and that confirmed my plans tomorrow.

The day later I exited the sewer with all my items in a sack, I only got 6 silvers and five coppers for it all but that was enough.

"Hey do you know where I can buy a chicken?"

"What, you want to be a cook like all the other kids?"

"Yes, and I will be a heroic knight who rides a chicken off to war."

Smiling at his joke the old lady pointed at a stall in the market, the only reason I asked her instead of looking around is to get a better deal with a referral.

Walking up to the stall I waited in line for a few minutes and got my chicken for two silver, it was alive in a wood box.

After walking back home with it, her eye woke up.

"Hey it's dinner time, hope you're hungry."
