Tilly smiled at Ruth, knowing that she could at least find a friend in her. Perhaps she could get her to make friends with Pearl even though the situation was strange. She knew the master had his demons, but Ruth was so young and the fact that Magnus couldn't do better wasn't her fault. His actions did not warrant the hate she would soon be facing by the people in the household. She was grateful he turned his eye on someone else, but not a young vulnerable woman. The maids were all secretly rejoicing that his eyes had turned from them to someone else, but they all agreed he should be trying to woo his wife and make things right between them, for maybe Anne would be less hostile if he had been faithful to her. "I am fine, thank ye, Miss Ruth." She then moved to plug up the tub with the stopper, and then turned the spigots to fill the tub with hot water, but not too hot. "Which scent do ye like best?" she asked, lifting the tray to offer the dozens of bars. Magnus hadn't known her preferences so he provided plenty to choose from, from flowery to spicy.
