Wheeling Gull Isle maybe i should start at the end

The girl asks to stay. Huā barely knew her- had no reason to trust her- and yet some part of her felt that the girl belonged here.

If they treated this girl kindly enough, she decided, perhaps her loyalties may lie here in the future. Thinking about the future, the empress inquires- So... you have trade? Skill?
