Awenfen nodded absently as she worked, ears perking as she caught his agreement to her proposal. 

"Zank ye," the midwife said again as grateful silver orbs slid over to the stony soldier. "Ta some it may seem small, trivial. But ze job ye've agreed ta is crucial." Her head bobbed again, as if to encunciate how important the childrens' safety was. To Fen, it was of the utmost concern. 

"An' zank ye again fer 'elping me vith ze gardens. It's looking good," she complimented as she stepped back to survey their progress. 

"I vill begin planting soon if'n ye'd be inclined to 'elp me vith zat in ze next veek or so," Fen added - shy but warm, clearly attempting to connect and befriend the stoic man. 

"Fer now, I zink I vill go vash up an' fin' somezing ta eat if'n ye'd like to join me," the fae offered welcomingly, stretching a bit and causing dirt to crackle and fall as snow from her feathery coat.
