A Reasonable Exchange | Pam & Odette
Pam soared through the air, bouncing around the general plaza in excitement and happiness, before quickly coming back to her senses and returning to her usual stance. She had just seen a posting on the Request Board, advertising the fact that there were now cooking lessons being given out by some person named “Odette.” They were dirt cheap compared to the potential value Pam might get from better culinary skill. The only catch was that Pam was going to have to take trips to Arcadia in order to make it. It wasn’t too much of a bother, thanks to Pam’s new-found riches. After snatching up her purse and her precious Pink Diamond, Pam hitched a ride to Arcadia and went to the house of the person giving out the cooking lessons. She brought her fishing rod, too, so she could get some fish out there while she waited for the round trip boat to return for her. Perhaps she could even forage a bit, too.....
That wasn’t the point, though- the point was that Pam was now ready and rarin’ to cook up a storm- hopefully not literally, although there was a good chance of that. She knocked firmly on the door and waited an uncomfortably long time before realizing it was an inn. She walked up to the door inside the inn of the room of the person hopefully who could teach her how to cook, and she knocked on the door firmly again, standing as confidently and cooly as she could. “Hello there, ma’am. My name’s Pam, and I’ve come to take you up on your offer for cooking lessons. The payment’s here in full, if you want to check first.”
