"Hmm," Breccan replied thoughtfully as his mother described her duties along with Rannoch's, and the reasons why they had selected the trades that they did. Scouting sounded interesting to him, and it was something he could easily tie into hunting; any time he spent outside of the hollow was already usually related to tracking herds or sharpening his skills.
But he wasn't dumb -- he could hear the note of pride in Liffey's voice as she spoke at length about his father's title as a warrior. Of course, he wanted to do everything that he could to take care of his family, too -- but a small piece of him felt a tremor of fear. What if he got hurt like Rannoch had, or worse? Was he really cut out for that type of physical job?
"That would be cool, to be a warrior like Dad," was his somewhat noncommittal response after a few seconds of contemplation. At this point, the last thing he wanted to do was disappoint either one of his parents, so if that meant working to become a mercenary, he would give it his best effort. Still, he inquired, "What are some of the other options?"
