[Her honor demands such. She has played herself, small child. Well done. However, the earnestness of Leslie's statement and her sincere desire to do something useful is not lost on Edelgard. She doesn't even miss a beat when she continues on in reply.]
You are not putting me out. I live in a fairly large house with one other person, so realistically you would be assisting the city by sharing residency with someone who is already established.
Though, I think perhaps I could also find some tasks for you. You are clearly able to read, so I assume you know your letters, so you could assist Hubert and I as a scribe, and once you learn the city you could be a messenger for me.
[These are all reasonable tasks to expect of a self-sufficient young lady.]
It will be no trouble at all, Leslie. In fact, I think having another person around would make our home a more cheerful place.
