1st Fall, 520AV
It was early in the day as Ari entered Healing Hands just in time to see Kita finishing a conversation and exchange of money and goods with a customer.
Carefully, Ari stepped out of the way and bowed her head to the customer as he left, before smiling at Kita as a greeting, bowing her head respectfully as she spoke to the older woman. “Morning Kita. Successful?” she asked, indicating the money the woman was putting away.
“Yes, so far. He was nice, just needed some Chamayo tonic for his mother. Apparently she’s started to get quite confused and forgetful lately. Told him that it wouldn’t cure her, but that one dose a day will make it less severe.” The woman said, and Ari took a few moments to process what she had said before she nodded solemnly at the realization of what had been said.
“Every little helps? Less severe is more good memory?” she said, tilting her head as she watched the other woman as she seemed to remember something.
“Oh, speaking of which we have some more Chamayo seeds. Chances are he’ll be back so could you be a dear and go make some more tonic ready for when he does return needing more?” the older woman asked and after processing what she’d said, Ari smiled and nodded.
“Of course.” she agreed, before heading into the back room, just as she heard Kita call out.
“Remas should be in there somewhere so if you can’t find anything, just ask him.” the human woman’s voice rung out and Ari kept smiling slightly, immediately going to grab a decently sized jar.
“Chamayo tonic? That jar is too big for one container. Don’t make too much otherwise it’ll go to waste.” the soft voice startled Ari slightly as she glanced to see Remas cleaning a few of the shelves. “This one will be better.”, he said, holding out a jar about a third of the size of the one she had picked out.
“Thank you.” she said calmly, accepting the jar and putting the other one back, before looking for the Chamayo seeds, soon realizing she had never actually worked with the Chamayo seeds before.
“Third shelf just at the left. The tonic is an infusion, so I’d just crush them up a little and then soak them in hot water until it gets cold.” the man said, continuing on with his cleaning, and Ari nodded in response, smiling appreciatively at the man but ultimately keeping quiet as she found the correct shelf.
She grabbed a handful of the seeds and rinsed them, before placing them into the jar, adding a couple more until it looked like there was enough in the jar. Next she found a spoon and carefully used the back of the spoon to crush the seeds as well as she could against the side of the jar, glad to see that they weren’t particular hard seeds and her attempt at crushing them had split them all into smaller pieces.
