5. Children at the market...
"The children running around the marketplace always seem rather fond of you," Zephia muses. Granted, she'd only seen the woman once before, but the shrieks and laughter of children no older than seven summers had been impossible to ignore. "Though, they also seemed terribly behaved. Have you not considered disciplining them a little from time to time?"
Perfect Tea Time--accepting!
At first, Deirdre smiles. She is quite fond of the children in the marketplace and is always happy to indulge them when they beg her to stop her errands and join them for a game. She likes to spoil them too sometimes, buying them sweets to share.
Zephia then continues and the smile fades. "Professor! They are only children! They are supposed to be having fun and getting into mischief! Perhaps, next time, you ought to join in with their games and see how much fun it is."
