if her father were alive, the words this man was saying would have lead to him getting dragged to the center of town and punished publicly, but her father is not here and her father never would have imagined just how much the house of ashmore would burn. he never would have imagined that ella ashmore spent a split of a second thinking about it instead of downright turning it down. that split second fills ella with sheer tension. there's nothing wrong with the woman who work in these establishment but... that is not the life she has been raised for and she intends to live that life she was meant to again, no matter how long it takes-

... but it would be a way out. she would be free. no more torment. no more keeping filthy. no one more cruelty...

" you do know who i am, yes? " she answers quickly, her words not as harsh as they should be, her tongue answering while her head is still partially lost in thought. her own voice snaps her out of it and acts like a scolding more so to herself than him. ella moves quick to continue. " i know i smell and look extremely different, but i do need to make sure you are certain of who you are talking to. "

"You know," Ted's leaning against the outside of the tavern, bud & brew, dark eyes scanning the gangly and ghastly sight of @starlightwielded who had been just trying to pass through the buildings. He knew she was look for peace and not someone else's opinion, but he couldn't stop himself, "you could be so much more than whatever dirt you're left to be by your family." He gives a shrug, dragging his gaze away for a moment only to bring it back with a smirk placed on his lips, "I know your stepmother claims it to be crazy and she is.. quite convincing, but we don't care about all that at the wench hole. well... except needing a bath."

He was wasn't sure what the Ashmore girl would say to him, but he knew her well enough to know she had something at the ready. So did he. He never started a conversation he wasn't somehow prepared for and he knew offering this to the likes of her were bold. She was a walking project and she'd take work to fix up, but he was sure he could handle. He and his right hand women.
