Chen Yu bounced a little and asked, "So, did she agree to leave here and live in the fortress?"
"Uh…"
Anvil's expression immediately fell. "No. As soon as I mention it, she either clings to my leg or hides…"
He was truly at his wit's end.
Seeing this, Chen Yu patted Anvil with a small, gelatinous hand and comforted him, "It's alright. Try to look on the bright side."
"Your Copper Fire Clan is having a revival, isn't it? See? You've got a second clan member now, even if you did just pick her up…"
He changed the subject, asking, "By the way, have you found her birth parents?"
Anvil shook his head, his expression growing even more dejected. "Turk has been helping me ask around in Iron Boot Town. He's questioned all of the few Half-Elf Adventurers in town, but no one knows her, and no one's claimed her."
He scratched his beard in frustration. "It's so strange. Did the little tyke just pop out of a chimney or something?"
