Seira was beyond happy to have returned to Magnolia Town after being away for a few months and even though her life had drastically changed since her last visit, this was still her favourite city in the country. The weather was perfectly beautiful when she arrived and although it was still in the middle of the day, the vampire decided to drop her belongings off at the same inn she always chose to stay at before exploring the town. She very much enjoyed bigger cities, mostly because there were more things to purchase and more opportunities for her to find or meet someone interesting. She had met a special person here before and while she wasn’t exactly the most social person to begin with, the woman still didn’t mind speaking to people and getting to know others. This time she wasn’t alone either and Michiko was with her. The feline creature trailed behind her as Seira strolled through the streets and entered one shop after another, mostly visiting the places she always visited when she was in town. Seira had arrived by train after departing from Marigold early in the morning and although she had barely slept, the vampire wasn’t really tired. The inn she was staying at was the same as always and she couldn’t really tell how long she wanted to be here, so she made sure to rent a room that was nice and big, had a big bathroom but no kitchen — Seira rarely cooked these days and often ate out anyways, so that didn’t matter match.

Seira had a particular place in mind which she wanted to visit first and it was only ever since Michiko had joined her on her travels, that she had that idea. There was a pet store somewhere located within the streets of Magnolia — it was large, almost luxurious and offered all sorts of accessories and items that could make a pet’s life easier and better. Seira never owned a pet before and while she didn’t exactly consider Michiko “her pet”, the feline was still her companion and Seira wanted her to have her very own bed! She had noticed that Michiko seemed to enjoy curling up in tight and warm places, such as underneath her blankets or among a few pillows, so she figured a cat bed would be just the right thing for her. When Seira entered the store she was greeted by a salesman who guided her through the beds they had and showed her the cuter ones that matched her pet’s size. Eventually, Seira picked up a pinkish purple one, one that matched colors with Michiko’s fur and purchased it. She also bought two feeding bowls, one for meals and one for water, that matched well with everything. Seira had done her search on the creature and found out that creatures like Michiko were rarely found in the wild and often domestic and also very rare — but easy to take care of. They used magic as well, but that was a different story.

Seira brought all the belongings back to the inn and set them up so she could enjoy them right away. The bed was placed into the corner of the room, and the feeding bowls right beside it. Seira filled them up and made sure the place was warm and cozy. She planned on leaving the house again, but Espeon was most likely not going to follow. She curled up inside her house and decided to take a nap, which was just fine with the vampire. When Seira left the house again, she decided to look around for potential jobs she could do. There was a request board in Magnolia that contained flyers with mission informations for wandering wizards such as herself and she decided to look it up to see what her options were. She eventually chose to pick up a flyer that was put there by Father Jerad, a young but very popular priest who was known to be caring and also quite talented; he was one of the few young men who were allowed to take charge of a local church, but it seemed as tho he was struggling with something and needed help. When Seira arrived at the cathedral, she was greeted by Father Jerad who also explained the situation to her. “I’m glad that you are here. We’ve been experiencing a big wave of the flu lately, with the temperatures dropping, seasonal diseases will be on their way again. As you can see, there are a lot of sick people here and I need your assistance with distributing the medicine to them, so everyone can have something.”

Seira wasn’t exactly sure if she could get common diseases like the flu anyways, now that she was a vampire, but decided to help out anyways. She walked around with a basket that contained the medicine and distributed it fairly to everyone, starting with children and old people. Doing that, she naturally came into contact with most of them so she decided to wear a mouth mask for hygienic reasons. The medicine had either be taken through the mouth or injected, which is why many people needed help. Seira spent a few hours inside the cathedral, helping out with distributing medicine, but also making tea for the ill people. It’s been awhile since she had done something good and pure like this, but it felt good and she was happy with the work. The patients, although most of them were weak, were friendly and welcoming and Seira began to wonder how so many people could have gotten such a bad flu after all — the weather didn’t even feel that cold yet. After completing her job, she returned to Father Jerad’s side, who offered her some of the medicine as well. He said it was best to prepare in case she would be getting sick as well, and Seira took the medicine without questioning (it was always good to be prepared, just in case) before taking her reward and leaving the cathedral to return home.
