Russell gave her a small grin but faltered and ended up clearing his throat awkwardly. "Again, I'm sorry Miss Corinne. I just haven't met any...uh, girls that spar with the knights. You don't happen to be one, do you?"

"I do indeed happen to be one. It's something to do." She blinked as a brief awkward silence fell over them. "So, did any important vials break there?"

Russell could only stare at her, wide-eyed. "Wow..." he breathed. "I mean, uh...well, no, not particularly important ones."
(I thought she was only an arming squire?)

Russell sighed, sweeping the glass shards out through the doorway. "Mrs. Smith's gonna kill me anyway, there's no doubt about it..."

"She doesn't seem to be a very nice person. Is there anything you'd need help for?"

"I dunno. Probably not much you could do anyway. I just wish sometimes that I could get out of this stupid pharmacy. The only time I can really get to go anywhere is on market day."

She sighed. "That's awful. Do you have anything to do besides this?"

"Well, I usually just run the shop all day... We-we don't get as many costumers as we used too..."

"Oh." She scuffed at the ground with her foot. "When you've got free time, is there anything you do? Just run the store?"

"I spend all of my free time reading, actually." As soon as the words escaped him, he clapped a hand to his mouth. "B-but not much. I can only read a few words, see? M-most of the time, Mrs. Smith makes me go clean up around the pharmacy. That's all."

"Reading what kinds of books?" she asked, interested. Spending time reading, a difficult task, spelled out determination to her. Admirable.

"Just fables mostly. Children's stories," he answered quickly. Russell held his breath. He knew he'd always been bad at lying, he just hoped Corinne couldn't tell this time.

Seems awful nervous. "Fascinating. Any titles you particularly enjoy?"

He shrugged. "None in particular... Hey, uh...if I may ask... Where are you headed after this?"

"I'd be headed back to the knight's place for a bit to retrieve some armor to clean," she said. "Why?"

"Oh," he mumbled, disappointed-sounding. "No reason, I just..." Russell looked back towards Mrs. Smith's study and sighed softly. "Never mind then, I guess."

"I'm just tired of being stuck here in the shop is all," he replied, brushing off his previous statement. "I'm sorry I took up so much of your time." Russell put on a smile and handed her the bar of lard soap wrapped in a piece of cloth.

"It's no problem. If you'd like I can drop by when I've picked up what I need and maybe show you how to wash armor. Just in case you ever need to, for some reason," she said, playful.
