Sid knew, very well. Going from a prosperous house in Oldtown to the desolation of the Outer Kingdom had been something like falling through the ice into a frozen lake. He'd spent a good few months at the start near-starving, and if he was honest he hadn't been faring that much better since. No one was, not out there. Still he shrugged, gave her a lopsided grin. After the ale it was genuine as well, bringing warmth to his eyes.
"Well, there's always prostitution." His grin widened.
He gave Kade a grateful look, not even pretending to argue as he accepted the mug.
"Thanks." In another few swallows it was half gone, and he leaned back in his chair with a creak, laying the bow out across his knees. The weight of it was comforting, and absently he drew his thumb along the string under the cloth. He should unstring it, but unstringing the bow always gave him a deep paranoia that he wanted to avoid, at least for tonight.
"Where will you go, Kade?"
In spite of himself he was still curious.
