When Seira arrived at the store she greeted Khalash and went through her favourite isles. While she was looking through the items she noticed that the was approaching her and turned to him with a smile. “I have seen you before,” he spoke with a friendly voice, “Could you find anything you like?” Seira shook her head. “Not yet, but I’m sure there will be something.” The man seemed as though he wanted to say something so Seira turned her entire attention towards him. “Can I help you with something?” He nodded. “You see, I was wondering if you could perhaps help me out with something. I need someone to deliver a care package with some food and stuff inside it to a friend of mine who lives in the East Forest.. he is known as the old hermit, perhaps you have heard of him before. He’s a good friend of mine and we have this little arrangement where I send him food and all kinds of things he likes every now and then and as a return I receive herbs from him that he picked up in the forest. Usually I would just go there myself but today I have a foot massage scheduled so if you could help me out I would be very grateful.” He smiled kindly and pointed towards a basket filled with food. “Of course you will be rewarded as well!” Seira gave it a quick thought, but she didn’t really have to think about it. She didn’t mind helping out, especially when she got paid so she agreed swiftly to his offer. “Of course, can do that.” Seira had also seen the old hermit before, she had come across his tree house during one of her travels and somewhat knew where it was located. Seira grabbed the parcel of food and went out to travel to the old hermit’s tree house. It was quite the long walk, around 40 minutes from the shop, but the weather was beautiful so she didn’t really mind. She could see his house from afar, a huge tree with a door in it, and carefully knocked on the door, making sure to introduce herself as well so the hermit wouldn’t be confused or worried about the stranger by his door. Even though the hermit had given up on the town and living there itself he was by no means antisocial and quite friendly. He greeted Seira kindly and after she explained why she was here and handed him the parcel of food he was very grateful for her help. In return, as expected, the old hermit gave her a package filled with dried herbs and fresh herbs that she had to deliver back to Khalash, which would be absolutely no problem. He also offered her a piece of licorice root and assured her that it was very tasty and that she definitely had to try it. They bid their farewells and Seira walked back to Magnolia Town with the herbs in her basket. While she walked she chewed on the licorice root stick and noted that it was, in fact, very good and a strange energy rushed through her veins, making her feel more healthy. She headed back to the shop and gave Khalash the package, who thanked her and paid her as promised.
