Episode Ten: Accepting Help

On his way to the general store, he feels his stomach growl.

"Great... I keep messing up and forgetting stuff..."

He sighs and walks into the grocery store.

"Welcome! I don't remember seeing you around,"

"I'm relatively new. My name is Warwick, It's nice to meet you,"

"It's nice to meet you too, my name is Caitin. How can I help you today?"

Warwick sighs before speaking.

"I need some bread and cheese..."

"You seem upset, is everything okay?"

"Yeah... I just underestimated the cost of living... How much will that be?"

"136 gold. I could use help with a delivery real quick. It would cover the cost and then some,"

"Thank you, who do you need me to deliver to?"

"Piaras, the innkeeper. Here,"

Caitin hands Warwick a loaf of bread wrapped in paper.

"I will be back shortly,"

Warwick runs out with the bread, quickly running into the inn, flying by Nora.

"Piaras! Here's your delivery!" Warwick says, out of breath.

"You've been diligent today. Make sure you take time to rest," Piaras suggests, as he accepts the bread, and hands Warwick a bag of coins.

"I will, I plan to get a room tonight,"

Warwick runs back to the grocery store.

"Here!" Warwick states, handing her the money and looking like he's about to pass out.

"Umm here," Caitin hands him the bread and cheese, "You should sit down and eat, I'll get your pay for you."

Warwick takes her advice, sits down on the stool, and takes a bite out of the bread.

Meanwhile, Caitin starts counting the coins.

After a couple minutes pass, Caitlin walks to Warwick and hands him 26 gold, two tomato seeds, two eggplant seeds, and a bottle of milk.

"What is the milk for?" Warwick asks in confusion.

"You look thirsty, and hopefully it will encourage you to come back for any more food you need,"

Warwick looks like he's about to be in tears, as he accepts it and takes a big gulp of the milk.

"Feel free to rest there as long as you need. The store will still be open for a while longer,"

"Thank you so much,"

"Don't worry about it!"

Warwick finishes off the milk and puts the bottle in his other pocket.

Carrying his food, he makes his way back to the inn.

As he passes Nora, she doesn't even look up from her work and starts sweeping faster.

"Piaras, I would like a room," Warwick says, slipping the 120 gold out of his pocket and into Piaras's hand.

"Upstairs, second door on the left,"

Warwick nods and heads up there.

When he walks in, he sees a bed and a desk with two empty drawers in it.

"It's nice," He says, placing his food, the bottle and his tools on the desk, and sitting down for a moment.

"I think Nora's mad, and I should also probably go have that talk with the GM in a moment. But honestly, I just want to lay here,"

He lays back, as his eyes slowly shut.
