Chapter 4

Shaile looked up from filling her bucket with water, as a young male came and
introduced himself as Innaken. She looked him over in irritation, needing to
be about her chores quickly or be punished by the invoker guildmaster. A wry
smile comes across her face as she tells him 'I am Shaile, but I do not have
time to talk as I am supposed to be fetching water'. She begins to walk off,
waiting to see if the line had been set. He hurried after her, taking the
bucket from her hand and insisting he help her. As they turn into a yard
behind the Invoker's guild, she grins as he sees the forty or so empty
buckets on the ground. She expects him to abandon her to her chores and
leave, but instead he says 'This should take very little time' as he puts
down the full bucket and picks up two empty ones.

She walks with him as he makes trips back and forth, losing track of time as
they lose themselves in conversation. The sun starts to fall as he sets down
the last two buckets. A guildmaster calls from a balcony above 'Well now
that he has done all of them, it is your turn to actually do your chores'.
She squeeks in surprise, and starts to run off. She turns and pecks his
cheek, telling him to come visit her more before running to obey her
guildmaster.
