The rest of the day was lively, with the inclusion of Shiro and her mercenaries. The Crimson Bulls' estate was large, and they did not have enough people to fill it up, so the addition of the mercenaries added something to the atmosphere that made it feel more energetic and alive. The mercenaries had also taken to little Runa quite quickly and indulged the girl in whatever kinds of games she wanted to play.
For such a rough-looking crowd, they were surprisingly good with children. Rune later found out when talking with them that they actually got quite a few requests as babysitters. It seemed childcare was something a lot of people struggled with, and most households saw both parents employed.
