Phoebe liked King his company a lot. Apart from considering how nice he was, it were interesting conversations as she learned he wasn’t from Fiore. She didn’t want to pry too much obviously but they continued to talk and she continued to look around her in the forest and enjoy it here. It reminded her a bit of home, the plants in Orchidia were a part of the city, making it a very green town. Something completely different from the busy Magnolia, she yearned for home again but on the other hand, this time she wasn’t homesick, she liked Magnolia and she didn’t mind if she would stay a bit longer.
When they reached the open place in the middle of the forest, she was surprised to see a big tree which held a wooden door. This was where the hermit lived and she stood next to King who knocked on the door, she held onto the basket as the door was opened and an old man opened it and asked them what he could do for them,
”We come to bring the basket from Khalash, he is sorry to say he wasn’t able to come today.” she said pushing the basket more towards the old man.
The man invited them in so he could check out the basket and get his own with the herbs that he would provide for Khalash. So she waited, looking around in the treehouse which didn’t even describe what it really was, it looked really lovely, she was surely amazed by it and also very aware that no one would want a fire mage over here. She bit her lip to not sigh out loud, Fire was considered too much of a destruction to everything but she was sure she would be able to handle it with the training that she gave herself. She waited to take the basket again and bid goodbye to the old man to make her way back to the city with King by her side. She could definitely grew used to this. Before they were far away, the man came after them to hand them some root, he said they should sure try it and she didn’t mind. It was tasty and gave her a rare energy vibe.
After the long walk back they arrived back at the store at Khalash his place and she would hand him the herbs. And he would hand them both the payment.
