"Gods! Is that gold? How much is there?" Nila shouted in surprise.
"10 golds. Not enough, but it's a start," Beam said. Nila widened her eyes in surprise, her expression finally unfreezing. But then, some thought of others must have passed through her head for her eyebrows sank and she crouched to her knees, cradling her head in her hand as she fought to hide the tears.
"Again… Again you're trying to help me… Just when I thought I would finally be able to help you, this happens," she cried. A few passersby shot Beam judgemental glances as they passed, seeming to assume that it was he that made her cry. She shot her head up suddenly. "Beam. I can't accept, no matter what."
"Eh? Why?" Beam asked in surprise. "It's not even like I have enough money yet. I'm just saying it's there as reassurance in case you need it."
