Lewis? He wasn't going to actually tell her his name? Do all kelvics do this? she wondered. And when he explained what he learned - though Syrah meant it as rhetorical - she felt like he was 3 years old! He said what he knew with pride, when he didn't know anything at all!
She was annoyed, and she didn't want him here, and she wanted her money back! But if she went and told that shopkeeper he sold her a person he would probably demand more coin as he sold her a slave of sorts. She didn't want this man to 'stick around' or 'help out' and he still seemed to think she had a problem with bed sheets.
She tried to explain: "I know what bed sheets are, I know they are not clothes, but I used it like it was a towel, something to cover you up, because I don't want a naked man in my house!" She sighed, hoping he would understand. "And, I don't want to be rude, but I don't like people, I'd rather be alone. Do you understand? I don't think it would be the best idea for you to stay, I don't have enough money to feed you, as well as me."
