Butler in Training!

Hiro placed his hand against his jaw for a moment, thinking; he didn’t like the idea of the stranger waiting so long, or of Yun being overwhelmed with work. Maybe he could take over the register? Or- ah, that would work! “Although I’d be pleased to brew your tea for you- I’m sure Yun wouldn’t mind me using her kitchen.” He smiled warmly, hoping the stranger would accept his invitation.

“Are you sure that would not be an inconvenience?  I’m sure you have more important things to do than help a stranger with her tea!”  

“This is probably my favorite part of the farm, as it is also the one I have to do the least amount of work for.” He teased.

Following Hart to his field, she looked around, immensely interested by the set-up that he had.  “I can imagine... I’m sure the prince and princess would love to have something like this, instead of making the monsters help them out!”  

Her, on the other hand, may have came quite a ways to visit this little shop. This seemed all the more likely with her peculiar outfit. He couldn’t help wondering whether it was a regional style from another town, or a uniform, or both. “Besides,” he said, venturing a guess that it was a uniform, “you seem as if you need the tea for something important.”

Clorica paused as she looked at all the other teas on the shelf, and then back towards the counter where the shop owner was standing.  “Do you happen to know if... Yun, you said?  If she will brew the tea I buy for me... ?  I was hoping to actually have a cup of it now and simply bring the rest home...”

“So how about I show you around the farm? Then around town. IF you’ve got time, may as well aquatint you with the place. Unless you’re too tired.” Hart offered.

Though Clorica had started to yawn again, she stifled it once the man mentioned the possibility of her being too tired.  “No, no!  Believe me, Sir... not a moment goes by when I am not on the verge of sleep.  I would love a tour of the farm... it’ll keep me awake, actually!

“Oh! I apologize, I must have been in your way,” Hiro said, moving his hand away from the tea.

“Oh!  My apologies!” She explained, jumping back and allowing the man to take the tea.  “No, no... do not worry.  I was simply looking!”

“I can get you a place at the Inn if you’re tired. You must have been traveling a lot. Stay the night in town, and I’ll get everything for you by tomorrow morning. How does that sound?” Hart asked, seeing her stretch and yawn.

“Though if it is too much of an inconvenience to get everything ready now, then I can come back in the morning.  In all honesty, I was planning on staying the night in town anyway!”

“Ahh and alright. Sounds good. Let me get some broccoli and kale out. That’s a lot of what is growing right now.” He said getting out some clippers for the broccoli. “All of the broccoli is edible by the way. How about some leaves as well? They make good salads.”

Clorica nodded and stretched her arms up above her as she yawned.  “What... Whatever vegetables you have are fine.  Leaves... too...” Her tiredness hit her quickly, but the woman fought to stay alert.

He decided to believe her Prince and Princess story, at least for the time being. He did know the land where there were monsters was quite different. So they may have had different politics.

Clorica then shook her head once more, turning to look at the crops that were growing on his farm.  “Whatever fruits that you have are fine!  They are, thankfully, not picky royalty.  My personal request would be apples, if you have any, but that’s only my own preference,” she laughed.

“Oh, would the like flowers or just vegetables? Snow Drop Flowers are growing quite nicely now.” He responded.

“Honey would be very nice!  But... I may pass on the flowers.  I think they just wanted me to get food.  Thank you for the offer though. ♪”

“And feel free to walk around. I can give you a tour and introduce you to the animals if you’d like.” He offered.

She then followed the man towards his farm.  “A tour would be wonderful!  I’m afraid I would not know how to act around those creatures if you were not around.”

“Hey there!” Hart called out as he began walking. “You get lost here? Or visiting the town?”

“One, I am simply curious to see this part of the world and the different creatures that live here.”  She pointed at the man’s animals that were not too far off.  “And two... I have a request from the price and princess to bring back some of the produce from the farms here, if you would not mind selling it to me.”  Clorica spoke with confidence, completely oblivious to the fact that the man may not know what she was talking about.
