Editing Rhin (section)

===Background===
Rhín is a child of the forest folk and spent her first years in the area north of the Ulmerien. Ribert occasionally visited their camps to trade for herbs and gossip, so knew the people there reasonably well. One such time, five years ago, Aelfric rescued a child who had stepped into a ground wasp nest and carried her back to camp. He started treating her for the poison himself as his master was elsewhere. When Ribec returned he nodded and said cryptically "I'm too old, she is your responibility."

Eventually she was nursed back to health, but when Aelfric told her she was free to go to her parents she just shook her head. Her father swore the Oath of Life Debt placing her in Aelfric's care. Rhín has since served him as well as she can, caring for his clothes, cooking and so on. She is also decent with a sling and supplements their travelling rations with small game sometimes, seasoned with herbs stolen from his pack.

Rhín is generally cheerful, very stubborn and has stopped missing her family every day. She sings half-rememberd songs of the forest folk and snippets of things she's picked up in taverns and halls across the lands to entertain the mule she rides. Songs not always suitable for a young woman, but Aelfric is hardly one to be concerned.

She is anything but ladylike, and apart from performing her duties, not very respectful towards her betters, something that has gotten them both in minor trouble occasionally.
Her hair is usually a tangled mess of black curls, though she has started taking better care of it lately. 

Aelfric is aware that the girl will not remain one for much longer and realizes she needs to talk to a woman. Her mother, or his aunt perhaps.
