The Shopkeeper's Daughter: Act 1

[desertbloomed]

Characters: Ashelia, and other Heroes that answered her call
Where: Her house, B-05
When: 09/10
Summary: Ashelia has an interesting proposal: that the Heroes of Light start acting like them.
Format: Prose or action is fine
Warnings: none!

Everything was set up perfectly. The table was laid out with a bowl of (non-spiked) punch and some sugar biscuits. Chairs were arranged into a circle. Ashelia paced around the living room anxiously. We haven't the time for this. That little girl was dying, and here she was, holding a meeting to propose a plan of action on what to do about it. That's what Queen Ashelia would do - that's all a queen could do. But I am no queen here. She should be out there, finding the seeds herself. The battle with the Chocobo Eater continued to gnaw at her, though. She'd gotten out of it relatively unscathed, but only because there were people more able to take the hits. She needed the other Heroes for this. As much time as she felt she was wasting with this meeting, she couldn't be in two places at once.

It hasn't occurred to Ib that their 'hero' status would make a difference one way or the other. She just assumes that the man will cooperate once things are explained.

“I'll go! I'm sure I can get him to help us.”

"Did you want to take someone with you?"

She looked down at the young hero curiously. Zelda could see the goodness in the young girls heart and it made her smile.

“Sure! I don't mind going in a group.”

But she pauses as a thought occurs to her.

“Um, but maybe not too many people. If he doesn't like visitors he might not like that.”

[goddessofthesky]

"I wouldn't mind going with you. If that's alright?"

She wanted to see this man and she certainly didn't want Ib to go by herself.

[her_rose_is_red]

“Okay! We'll convince him together.”

She's confident at least.

[goddessofthesky]

"Alright!" Zelda smiled down at the girl, excited for their mission but she was still thinking of maybe asking others along in case their method of asking didn't work.

[her_rose_is_red]

“When should we go? I'm free anytime.”

[goddessofthesky]

"Lets see if anyone else wants to come along and then we can decide on the best time."

Zelda smiled and then looked around them at the others talking. There doesn't seem to many interested in going from what she can hear but she wants to make sure.

[her_rose_is_red]

Ib nods. That makes sense.

"Just let me know, okay?"

[goddessofthesky]

"Promise."

Zelda smiled and then moved to look around the room better.
