*Nearing the end of her time, Vasha cannot see Zythryd here, as he must be preparing at the other tent for his shift.*
*As Vasha gets through her auctions, she comes to her last slave for the day, a sad-looking but pretty little girl, about six or seven years old. Reading over the notes, Vasha discovers that the girl's parents had died, leaving her orphaned, so she had become a slave to pay their debts. It looks like she is going to go to a man who has been at the auction the whole time, buying as many pretty girls as he can.*
"50 Amethyst Valryts," he bids confidently, raising the price beyond the previous bid of 45 in what he is sure will be the final raise, finally beating out the plain-looking topaz-haired woman with whom he was competing.
*But suddenly, a gorgeous amethyst-haired woman with kind-looking eyes steps into the tent.*
"200 Amethyst Valryts," she calls out, winning the bidding immediately.
*When Vasha hands her the papers for the slave, she tears them up, turning to the little girl.*
"You're free now, little one. I'll sign your manumission as soon as I can. You can come live with me if you like, though, if you have nowhere else to go, OK?"
*The girl nods quietly, and replies:*
"Thank you miss."
*As Vasha is finished her first shift, the woman turns to Vasha, her kind amethyst eyes sparkling momentarily blue.*
"Excuse me, miss. I can't help but wonder. Are you...like me?"
(OOC: She didn't have enough to pay for the rest of the month yet, actually. Assuming she paid all of her money, she paid for ten days at the inn (assuming working tables))
