To Market, To Market

After the girl asks for the promotion, silence lapses between them. Her father’s expression turns thoughtful and she allows him time to process her request. While she is a warrior at heart, Andy knows that the Armada is in good paws with all the fighters that they have. That is why she is seeking to be a Trader, seeing a challenge to be overcome in it. Maybe, if she rises to the occasion and organizes the marketplace to be more cohesive, he will be willing to hear out when she comes asking for a promotion again.

Sirius speaks and Andy’s attention quickly snaps back to him, listening carefully to what he has to say. Nodding along to his words, the girl thinks she has all these qualities he is speaking of. To her immense relief, he thinks so too! A grin splits her maw as he lays out a task and she quickly says, “Okay! I’ll go there right now!” Turning around, she stops to look up at him and says, “Thanks for believing in me dad.” Leaning in, she offers a hug before bolting back toward where the market waits for her.
