Dark eyebrows rose in mild surprise when his question reached her. The Isur never said anything for the sake of saying it or to make others feel good. If he said it he meant it. Shifting in her seat to face him while he held the hilt to the flame the woman studied him. Personal matters were the last thing Eanos concerned himself with, much less inquired about. It was by his example that the brunette functioned in the smithy, uninterested in indulging in gossip or other useless banter with customers and coworkers alike. She aspired to have the dedication and precision of Sultros Blades' master and molded her behavior in his image. To hear him stray from protocol was unexpected. And appreciated. His concern into her life beyond the shop warmed her more than she would've guessed.
"I'll manage well enough, thank you," Hadyn replied with a small smile. It wasn't entirely untrue. Financially she wasn't in dire straits and as they'd so recently come to a decision about her work, she was alright in that regard. In all other respects she was flailing though she'd never admit it. "You are very kind to ask."
Her tone and smile imparted the candor of her words. While they shared an excellent working relationship neither broached anything beyond what was acceptable in the smithy. Unlike her other coworkers she'd never gone out to the tavern with the Isur or gotten to know him in a non-professional manner. It was pleasing to know he was concerned with her well being outside of what she could do for his shop. In a time of emotional turmoil she was heartened to know Eanos was supportive both in and out of Sultros Blades.
"I'm indebted to your consideration," she stated at length, resting a hand on her belly as she watched him. "I don't think I need much of anythin' right now. But... I'm told I'll be holed up immediately before and directly following the birth. I've no doubt I'll be wantin' of a friendly face. If you aren't so busy, I'd be happy for a visit."
Hadyn was careful in the way she phrased the offer. If he were so inclined she would welcome him, especially if she was to be as isolated as other women warned her after the birth. The thought of being on bed-rest and inactive was met with annoyance and apprehension. Hadyn didn't do well with idle time. Of course she would have a child to tend to. But being unable to go to the smithy and unable to work would put her in a depressed mood. The more she thought on it the more she hoped her friends would call in on her.
"I'll surely miss workin' all bells of the day," she mused with a smile.
