Laurie grinned back at the boy and talked while she fixed his drink.
"Your friend is that mysterious man over there? I noticed him when he came inside; it always makes me sad to see anyone with a heart so heavy. Maybe you can cheer him up. Oh, and don't pull at that bandage!" She smacked his hand away lightly and handed him a rather large tankard and a few shiny apples.
"What's your name, young lad?" Laurie inquired curiously. She poured herself a drink and sat down beside him.
