Her apprenticeship came as a relief to Rosie. Even if she knew Narl well enough to know he'd never offer it like something to appease an upset child, the timing of it was a reminder that he knew her just as well. Rosie spent plenty of time at the forge growing up, but for the past several months she's spent all her days there, letting the taciturn smith she befriended as a child teach her everything he knows about horse doctoring. She was his first apprentice for anything but metalwork.
She spent her morning working with one of the lord's riding horses, and now Rosie doesn't look up when someone enters the yard, her attention still focused on the mare in front of her.
"Rosie," says Narl to get her attention. Sometimes it comes as a surprise when Narl speaks, she's so used to companionable silence or filling it all up with her own words as he listens silently. Her gaze goes not to Narl but to the newcomer. Her master wouldn't refer anyone to Rosie unless they were a visiting friend or had a horse who needed tending.
