He fell silent again as Allen asked if she was indeed looking for a home. "I know of one very shy boy who will be more than happy to have another healer at hand," he said, sharing a knowing look with Allen. "he's been forcing lessons on me." Bass said with a slight laugh, head shaking slowly. Yes, another distraction for the young boy would fair well for all of them.
