Child Tamer for Hire

It was no secret that this was one of Artorias' children. She introduced herself as Talyssa and quickly moved on to state her business in Ashen. The girl wanted to make maps and had asked to map Ashen territory. Chimera could see no issue with that. He trusted Artorias and so he trusted his daughter by extension. The big brute nodded in agreement before speaking. "Yes, I'll agree to let you travel through Ashen territory to complete your work," the man stated.

It surprised Chimera that Talyssa offered something in turn. He wouldn't turn the young scholars offer down. "I've a large number of children," he began, giving his blocky skull a tilt. "If you could give them a lesson or two in whatever you see fit, we can call it an even trade." Chi looked out over the estuary, towards the island in the distance. "It will take you more than a day to do your work. Consider yourself a guest of Ashen. If you need anything and can't find myself, ask my son Quill for assistance."
