"Rose, there you are! Did you have to show him the work you did?" Janice asked, looking away from her pots to Rose.
"I did," Rose answered.
"I think you have done plenty since the day I arrived so he shouldn't have any problems. I would like for him to start speaking to those two guards outside for the way they look at you. We might be from different lands but that war has nothing to do with us. We didn't start it," Janice said, wanting to hit the two men with her wooden spoon.
"We shouldn't bring it up to him. I can take their stares. It is not like they insult me out loud or try to trouble me. I like that they avoid me," Rose said, not wanting the guards to be upset for telling on them.
Rose had dealt with far worse so she appreciated that Brian and Soren were ignoring her since they didn't like her. She had worried about how they would treat Janice but they shared small talk with her because they liked the food.
