She finished the last bite as Seld confessed his wish to continue their "adventures" together. "Well I haven't dissolved the party yet, have I?" She smiled at Seld and hopped up from her seat. Making her way for the exit, she turned around in the doorway on her way out. "Stop by the shop once I get opened up. Look for flowers. Ja ne!"

Taking another bite of her sandwich, she sets it down and picks up the package Seldentar laid before her. Unfolding the cloth revealed a gorgeous set of crystal cutlery. She tapped one of the knives and a context menu with the item description showed that they would provide a bonus to her cooking. She smile wide. "They're perfect. Thank you so much. Come by any time and I'll be happy to feed you." She wrapped the knives back up and put them into her inventory through her menu. Picking up her sandwich, she continued to eat, savoring every bite. It really was a rather excellent sandwich.

Laughing, she takes a bite of her own sandwich, chews and swallows it, and responds. "That's very kind, but I already have everything I need insofar as tools and the like. All I really need is ingredients." Moire had given her a bunch of equipment upon finishing the profession quest, and the deli was fairly well stocked as well. She watched Seldentar banging away, oblivious to his actions.

She smiled, pleased by his reaction. "Yeah, I did. An NPC called Moire helped me out with perfect-craft utensils and appliances, so the sandwich is the best quality possible with those ingredients. As for why I came here... well you'll just have to see the place I'm setting up in. It's so cute and it's the perfect place to open up. Besides, if I get popular enough, I can maybe look into a little delivery service." She spoke with enthusiasm about her business. Just a couple of days ago she never would have even considered having a profession, but now it was her ambition. She unwrapped her

Shiro meandered into Seldentar's smithy with a smile on her face and two small packages wrapped in wax paper. He was hard at work forging what appeared to be mammoth of an apparently one-handed straight sword, so she took a seat and waited patiently for him to finish. Once he had, and set the blade aside, she stood up smiling. "Seeeld! Guess what. I rented a deli in Urbus." She held out her hand, offering him one of the packages.

She chuckles a bit. His comfort was misplaced, but she didn't mind. She didn't feel bad at all. She felt great. Everything would be okay. "Of course it will!" She smiled and laughed. "Thank you again. It's beautiful and I can't ever repay you for this. But we've had a long day, so I'm going to head off and get some rest." She looked at Seld for a moment as she wiped the tears from her face. After a silence that could have been seconds or hours, she kissed him on the cheek and ran out of the shop shouting "Ja ne!" over her shoulder before he had a chance to see her face turn red.

Shiro stared at the sword she held, a beautiful gift from Seld, and hardly noticed when he took her other hand in his. "I'm sorry, nothings wrong, it's just... It's really beautiful." She didn't sob. She didn't make a sound. She just silently stared at the amazing rapier and let the tears fall, Seld holding her hand.

Shiro reached out and took the rapier from Seld's hand. It was light. Exceptionally so. It was the most beautiful weapon she had ever seen. She held it and stared, shocked and in awe of its beauty. "Th-thank you... I don't..." She couldn't even properly formulate a way to respond to this gift. Her eyes began to water.

Shiro had never been to Urbus, but she trotted along behind Seld closely. She was a bit wary when he turned down a somewhat poorly lighted lane between buildings, but stuck it out until she found herself in his tiny forge. She got to work almost immediately, having offered her the opportunity to take a look around at his wares. She saw all sorts of weapons of various qualities and prices. She was impressed.
