SEFA "Oh, he only recently bought me, my Lady. I had run away from home because my stepfather was...looking at me. I took a job as a barmaid in a tavern and my mother found me. She was beating me, and my Lord made her stop. He asked why she was beating me and my mother told him that I was valuable! She meant to sell me off to make some money for herself and her new man. So, my Lord said, 'How much did you think that you would get for her?' and my mother replied, crafty-like, fifty gold. So my Lord, he throws a hundred at her, and says, 'All right, there's your fifty and then some. Be gone.' So, I am his, now."
GALADRIA (all misty-eyed) "Ah, that's my Tyree! So noble and kindly. Well, I'm sure he'll introduce us, soon enough."
