Going to the market (2)

Making her way down the road she's humming along, thinking about her journey and what she'll be seeing there, she's excited to go in the woods after such a long time, and since last time she went it wasn't that pleasant she hopes it'll be better this time.

'Should I make any stops?' she asked herself.

She was going there for a reason after all, was it right to waste any more time? What if someone is also looking for the artifact too, just like her? She can't be the only one that believes in it still.

After a while of trying to make up her mind, seeing as she's almost at her destination she gives up pressuring herself to come up with an answer for the time being, she'll think about it one the way and decide later depending on the circumstances.

Reaching the market she goes towards a tea shop, it's pretty small, yet it's also the most popular in the market, its prices are not really affordable to regular citizens but the products' quality is always top notch.

She enters, everything's extremely fragrant, as expected of Mr. Primrose. Closing the door behind her she cheerfully says "Hey Mr.Primrose! Long time no see!" and a short, chubby old man hurriedly appears behind the counter.

He has snow-white hair, his aged eyes always gleaming in a pleasant light and his timeworn face is always masked by a bright angelic smile filled with joy.

"Hey Pampam! A very long time indeed! How have you been? I haven't seen you in months!" he said in a delighted manner.

"Yeah I've been kinda busy lately, thinking about the past and making plans for the future"

"Well you can make as many plans as you want to, but don't take the present for granted either, for it is what you have in the present that will give you what you want in the future" he said with an advisory look.

Mr primrose was simply the best person for advice. Even in more serious matters, he would always give out the best advice there is, like he had already expected you'd ask and thought about it way beforehand, he said it all in a way so natural you'd think he's actually been through it all until you remember that it's also his first time in life, he's just lived longer than you have and that's the most mind-blowing thing about him, it's almost like he's seen it happen all the time, knowing how to deal with it smoothly. People ask him how he's such a good advice giver but he always just smiles and says that it's a gift from above, everyone has left it at that as not to be indiscreet but in truth we're all secretly curious to learn about his past.

"Thanks for your advice Mr primrose, I'll keep it in mind."

"Anyways, what are you here for? I doubt you'd just suddenly visit me out of the blue judging by that bag you're holding" he said in a curious voice.

"I see you've got me figured out huh?" They both chuckle as she continues

"I'm just here for some herbs and teas, I'll let you know if anything else catches my eye" she says, reaching into her bag taking out a piece of paper with her list written on it. Mr primrose looks at her curiously 'herbs and teas, huh?'
