Since his new job at the Seacraft hall hadn't yet started, Uegot
found himself available for all kind of domestic chores. Like picking up the
older children from harper classes. It was actually like vacation to
him.

First he got Gotner and the boy in tow he went to get Uelyn. He
found her chatting eagerly with two other little girls. "Uelyn!" he called to
catch her attention.

"Daddy!" she cried, eyes lighting up, "I got new friends!"

Parale waited her turn, watching Syren and Venrys as they
retrieved their things. She wasn't in a hurry to pick them up since Parys had
been good most of the day allowing her to get things done while the girls were
in lessons. The baby was actually currently tied to her so she didn't have to
carry her in her arms. Seeing the other little girl approach her father, Parale
tried to remember if she had ever been that way with her father. Back then
things had been different, though.

"Can I play with them for a while yet?" Uelyn asked.

Uegot checked the time. "All right, fifteen minutes," he said, "if it's all
right with their mother," he continued, looking around for potential mother.

"Hearing the exchange, Parale stepped up and nodded. "Oh that's fine.
I've got a bit of time before Parys will need to be fed again."
At the sound of her name, the baby made a few noises, seeing her
sisters.

"Aaw, you got a baby," Uegot said and took a peek at her.
"Cute," was his laconic comment.

"Thank you, she's not very old yet, but the girls have been a huge help with everything." There was a note of pride in
her voice-in all of her daughters. And there was also happiness. Parale was
finally settling into her life.

"That's always a good thing," Uegot agreed, with a sideways glance towards his daughter. "I got four children. I
admit my wife's done all the work so far."

"Ah I have three girls. Hopefully we'll have a son next time, but for now we're happy. Do you know my
husband, perhaps? His name is Ioven and he's a journeyman smith." Parale didn't
recognize Uegot but that didn't mean anything with so much of the male
population of Sunstone being transient thanks to the seacraft.

"Sorry," Uegot said with a shake of his head. "We're just moved in, we don't really know
anybody yet."

"Oh where from? I moved here from Garnet Valley myself when
I got married." Parale was always welcoming to new people since she had once
been new herself.

"Jade Harbour Hold. And we will be moving again to the
new Seacraft hall when it's ready for families," Uegot replied.

"Oh? That's nice. It'll be good having a crafthall around." Parale remembered how it
was having the smithcraft hall at Garnet Valley. More educated men were produced
that way and that meant more possibilities for Danrina. She would have to tell
her that.

Uegot just nodded, not really having anything to say about it.

"Well it was good to meet you. I'm sure I'll be seeing your children
around and perhaps your wife. My name is Parale if you'd like to tell her. I
like meeting the newcomers." It was easier to make friends with new people than
those already established.

"I'm Uegot, was nice to meet you," Uegot replied and grinned. "Uelyn! Your fifteen
minutes are up, time to go home. Your ma is waiting us to eat," he called out for his daughter.
