Part 874: Laurent C

All right... On to the next task.

You seem exceptionally busy, Noire. What has you so occupied?

Oh, nothing. Just on my way to draw water for tonight's dinner.

In that enormous bucket?

W-well, yes?

Then pray, allow me.

What? No, I couldn't ask you to do that.

A slight person like yourself oughtn't put undo strain on their frame. I won't explain the physics behind it, save to say it may bring about a fracture.

B-but, this is the same bucket I've been using for years.

What if your anemia acted up and you grew light headed? You could be badly injured.

But, Laurent, I feel fine!

...Oh, okay! You can help! But just for today.

Excellent. Leave it to me. And this water is bound for the mess-tent team, correct?

Yes, that's right. Thank you.

Thanks are not required. I insisted, did I not?
