Varies from Kingdom to Kingdom. Some write it into Law, some don't. Some
care, some don't. And worst- some pretend that they're cool about it and
they really aren't!

In general- don't use the 'A' word unless there is a formal, public
arrangment. Saves trouble.

Did you know in Some Places and Times in Period an apprentice could not
court, much less marry without the Master's permission? No matter how
hold the apprentice? And teh death of teh Master doesn't necessarily let
him off- sometimes the Master's wife inherits not only the business, but
the apprentices. Hehe. If she's cute...
