"...." Ash was silent for a moment, before looking away slightly.

"I just..." he stammered.

"I mean... I was taught that those like me didn't deserve to be in nice places like this." he went on.

"Quality people were worth something. If you weren't quality, you were garbage." he continued.

"...however, I am grateful that you still feel that I'm worthy of this." he then added, looking at her and smiling.

"Thank you."

Rylie paused.

"Wait... what?" She asked.

"People like you?" she then asked before sighing.

"Ash... once we have some privacy, you do realise you're going to have to tell me where you come from, right?" She asked him, her tone much like a mother would to a child - even if he wasn't entirely aware of that.

"But first. How old are you?"

Ash paused for a moment.

"Uh..." he stammered.

"Hang on." he said.

He was then silent, and thought for a moment.

"Ah! 14." he remembered.

"I'm 14 years old." he told her.

Which... was almost alarming, seeing as he looked like he was around 9. At best.

Rylie was sioent as she looked him up and down.

". . . right then." was all she said.

"You got some growing to do, kid." She added.

"But all right. Good to know."

Ash was silent again, but nodded.

"All right." he said.

He then suddenly perked up, and saw his nose seemed to be twitching about.

But before she could ask, she heard her friend.

"Heeeey!" a man with black hair and slightly darkened skin said, as he approached.

"Long time, Rylie." he said, setting down the tray of food, which contained meat, drink, vegetables, and other such things.

"...I was told you needed some clothing." he then commented quietly.

Rylie just sighed when the last comment was made.

"Hey Az." She said.

"And. Some clothing would be lovely. I can't very well head out to a store for some with my current state of dress." She commented.

"But that's part of why I'm here." She added before looking to Ash.

"Dig in, Ash." She told him.

"I don't eat."

Ash looked at the woman in shock, before looking at Az.

"Dig in, kid." Az told him.

Ash just nodded, and started reaching for food, happily and fervently making it disappear.

Az then looked at Rylie.

"You all right with leaving him alone?" he asked.

"You know you have a change of clothing in my room here at the inn." he told her.

"If you want, we can head there and you can dress so that the degenerates here won't catcall."

Rylie sighed a moment before nodding.

"Yeah. I really should get myself properly dressed." She agreed before getting to her feet.

"You ok to sit and eat?" She asked Ash.

Ash was in the middle of shovelling something into his mouth, when he looked at her.

He was silent for a moment, before swallowing, and nodding.

"Uh-huh." he replied.

"I'm fine." he told her.

"I'm used to being left alone for whatever reason." he said.

"...geez, that's depressing..." Az mumbled under his breath... though Rylie could see that Ash had heard that. Impressive, considering SHE barely heard it, and he was right next to her.

Rylie nodded.

"All right. Don't run off or anything, and don't trust someone you don't know in here." She said before getting to her feet.

"I'll be back in a couple minutes." She added. "Az, lead the way."

"Okay." Ash responded.

Az then nodded, and the two of them stepped away, behind the desk, and down to the basement. They made their way through the supplies area, before going through another door, to the rather comfy room that Az lived in.

"Your clothes are in the right bottom drawer of the dresser." he told her.

"Feel free to grab them." he said.

"Want privacy to do so?" he inquired, essentially asking if she wanted him to scram for a minute or two.

"Thank you, Az." Rylie said before making her way over and grabbing what was down there.

"I really do apprecaite it." She added before straightening up.

"I'm not entirely opposed to you being in here. You know that I can use your help." She added with a light laugh. It was true, too, as her corset did take some effort to do up, and was much easier with someone else to help.

"Or are you offended by seeing my less covered form?" She asked with a smirk.

Az just laughed out loud.

"Yeah, sure, THAT'LL be the day." he said.

"I was merely being cordial." he commented.

"But if you want help, I'm happy to do so." he told her.

"However, onto more serious matters." he went on.

"First and foremost... who's the kid?" he asked.

"I never saw you as the type to take in a child. For... well... various apparent reasons..." he muttered.

Rylie, who had started to stip, just sighed.

"Because I'm a fairy?" She asked with a light laugh.

"But he was there when I dealt with the last group of assailants." She added, her voice getting more serious.

"There are more looking for me as well."

"....ah... I see." Az replied.

"For the record, I was referring to your... nomadic... lifestyle." he commented.

"But assailants?" he asked.

"For YOU?" he asked further.

"They're either very brave or very stupid..." he mumbled.

"At least the kid didn't get caught up in that stuff." he went on.

"At least, I'm assuming he didn't."

"Nahh. Seems he was just watching it." Rylie answered as she stretched once everything was off.

"... feels good to get out of that." She commented before sighing.

"He was hiding behind a boulder when I finished with the group. ... didn't react to my head rolling up to him, either."

"...he... didn't?" Az asked.

"Wow. That's... that's new." he said.

"Unnerving, as well." he muttered.

"Where'd he come from?" he asked.

"I mean, wherever it was, it couldn't have been nice." he reasoned.

"But did you get anything specific outta him?"

Rylie just sighed.

"That... I don't know." She admitted.

"I wish I did, but I have no idea. I'll find out after I get back to him - assuming I can use a room for a couple of nights."

"Of course." Az replied.

"Usual payment." he said.

"You got info for me to relay?" he asked her.

That was their deal. She travelled, gathered info, and gave it to him. In return, he took it to those that could use it in positions of authority, and she got to stay for a while.

"Anything at all." he said.

Rylie nodded.

"There was a band of humans that had assailed me." She started as she was dressing herself.

"I killed off all those that were there, but there was another band coming." She told him.

". . . it's ... unfortunately likely that they would have managed to follow me here."
