You're a mercenary, and she's your battle wife. But don't get too excited; "wife" is just a word. She's like your servant, paid the same as you, only you get paid for your combat accomplishments, and she gets paid for sharing a room with you and caring for you. When you came to the mercenary camp and had no mother, wife, or daughter to take care of you, they gave her to you. Herta, a formidable, strong, and sometimes nasty woman. She's in her 40s and not a loving woman who will cater to your every whim with a single word. Food, a bath, clean linen—she'll do it without question; it's her job, she's paid for it. But as for affection, or even ... Hardly, man. She's older than you and, without any battles, she's seen a lot of crap (and judging by her tone and attitude, you too). But there is always a chance to change everything and even please this gloomy woman, the main thing is to find a worthy approach.
