RE: Fly in a web - Alice Appleton - 02-13-2020
Alice popped back in to grab her basket, somewhat embarrassed, and rushed back out.

But Will had spotted her and was waiting for her outside. "Alice?"

Darius rose his brow at the boy. "Make sure you take care of her. Doctor says she's overworked and not sleeping or eating enough."
RE: Fly in a web - William Ward - 02-13-2020
"Aye, I know..." Will said, looking at his sister.
"Will, let's go." Alice said.
But Will looked at the man. "Did you take 'er to t' doctor?"

Darius frowned at him. "She collapsed, so I did. Though she's rather ungrateful for my help. Stupid woman even offered to give me the baby like I'd want it."

"I'm ungrateful for not naming my baby after your friend?" Alice asked. She shook her head. "You can't buy baby names."
That caught Will's attention. "I'll sell me future babies' names, ser," he offered.

Darius frowned and sighed. He patted the man's shoulder. "You are a far better man than her. Fine. I will transfer my wish onto you. Name your first son Christopher. Got it? I don't know why she's so difficult. It's a fair name."

For a moment, William glowed with pride when the gentleman called him a 'man'. Finally, someone who acknowledged that he was already a man. But his joy soon made way for disappointment. "Wait, you're not going to pay me for it?"
Alice rolled her eyes. "Look, I'm thankful for the help you offered, but you can't use that to bribe people into naming their kids after your friends."
RE: Fly in a web - Darius Carrington - 02-13-2020
Darius tsked, "Fine. How much? And you know if you agree and I find out you don't, I will come after you for the money and interest. It isn't a gift, it's conditional. " He held up a hand to Alice. "You don't get to talk now. You have already disappointed me.'
RE: Fly in a web - William Ward - 02-13-2020
Alice scoffed and walked away.
"What if me wife disagrees?" Will asked.
