*Beatrice followed Aimery into the inn, looking around shyly for the owner.*

*Brandi entered, wiping her hands on her apron.*
"Good evening! Can I help you?"
You're welcome as long as you don't kill anyone. So stay out of my kitchen.
*She smiled at Aimery.*
"She's upstairs, if you're looking for her."

"I was wondering if I could have a room here... but I don't have any money. I could work- I'd clean or cook or- anything!"
*She looked at her with pleading eyes.*

*Brandi just grinned and held up her hands defensively.*
"All right, all right...just don't give me the Walmart kitten face. I'm sure we can find you something to do around here."
*She glanced at Aimery.*
"Sir, why don't you run upstairs and check on your lady friend. We have some details to work out."
*Aimery looked at Beatrice questioningly, hoping she would be all right.*

*Brandi turned her attentions to Beatrice.*
"So...shall we? I would love to hear all about you. And to know what kind of work you would be interested in."
*She gestured to the fireplace, that they might sit in the chairs in front of it.*

**AS BEATRICE**
*She sat down.*
"Thank you."
*She tried to think of how to tell her about herself without making her too nervous to take her on.*
"There's not much to tell," *she lied. Badly.*

*Brandi's smile softened and she reached out to touch Beatrice's hand gently.*
"It's all right. I understand. All of us have done things that we regret."
*She looked to her knowingly.*
"I just need to know that I can trust you to not let things get out of hand here. This isn't just where I work, it's where I live. I was entrusted to keep it. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen here."
Again.

"I... oh."
*She looked into the fire, thinking. Could she trust herself to stay in control? What if something happened? She didn't want to endanger anyone with her presence, but seeing as the alternative was to live in a cave and never see anyone again kinda like Erik she would take a risk. She'd have to.*
"I wouldn't let anything happen, ma'am."

*Brandi smiled, knowing that she would at least try.*
"So...if you don't want to tell me your secrets, would you at least tell me your name?"

"Oh, I'm sorry- I'm Beatrice. Beatrice Spencer."
*She smiled a little*

"I'm Brandi. It's nice to meet you."
*She glanced at the kitchen.*
"Would you like anything to eat or drink?"

"If you don't mind, I am terribly hungry. I haven't had a proper meal since we- ...in ages."

*Brandi smiled and stood, offering her hand.*
"Of course, I don't mind. What would you like?"
