Before leaving the slums I helped the two girls get cleaned up as much as possible with water magic before taking them with me to go to the shopping district. "Now Liz, Beth, do not get lost. Hold on to either my, or Marsil's hands."
The two girls split up and the oldest at seven years of age took Maril's hand while the youngest at six years old took mine. As we walked into the richer part of the city we gained looks from all over. Most I could tell were on Marsil which ticked me off a little. She was now my friend and also would be working for me. I couldn't help but look back and check to see her expression but she seemed to be happily chatting away with Liz so I felt a little relieved. Luckily it was only staring and no one was actually saying anything.
