I come here every week. Oh. She was my friend. I'm sorry. Can I tell you about her? I'd like that. I met Dymphna when I was 15. That was three years ago. I remember it very well. I was helping my father clean up at the inn.
What's the matter with you this morning?
Nothing.

And what about you?
Me? I... This is Dymphna. And? She's been my charge ever since her mother died. Sorry to hear it.
Our rooms? That's right, your rooms. Up the stairs and take your pick. The one at the end of the hall is taken. Thank you kindly. Give me your bag, Maeve.
Oh, you want any help?
No, thank you. I'm very excited to sleep in a real bed tonight.
Yeah. Act like you've never seen one before. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
If I'm counting right, she left me twice as many coins as she should have.

Chapter 6: How does Dymphna's relationship with Mila evolve?
I'll only charge them for the week. Here, Mila, take these coins up to that girl. Dymphna. To Dymphna. Tell her we can make it all even at the end of their stay. She's left me more than enough to make me comfortable about them sleeping in my beds.
Yes, father.
You told him my name. You shouldn't have told him my name.
No one knows we are here. We crossed the North Sea. Yes, but... Very few cross the North Sea, and the kind that do aren't likely to talk about it.
We shouldn't speak about it so openly.
You're safe here, Dimfna. I'm still afraid. We're far from Eiru. He'll not find you. Are you sure? Yes. Yes. I'll be in me room.
You startled me. My father said to give you these. You paid us more than enough. Oh, thank you. I'll go now. What's your name? I'm Mila. That's a pretty name. Thank you.
Evening, Lewis.
Come on in, Alice.
