[She seems surprised, and then she shifts on her seat and absently fixes her hair while speaking]
My, that is very nice of you to say. If you would like to buy some of our freshly baked bread, you should come in the morning. Most of it disappears around noon.
Oh yes, how could I resist coming here for such a joyous occasion? And almost as if fate willed it, I've already had my heart refreshed just by stepping inot your shop.
Would you tell me about how people here celebrate? If there are quirks to the local customs I wouldn't wish to offend.
How people celebrate? I didn't know it could be different in other places.
Here in Rulid, there is music and dancing, and food and drink for everyone. When the Bells of Time-Tolling play the 6PM melody, the Village Elder leads a prayer of Avi Admina, and everyone is free to eat after that. Parties go on until dawn, since they are only held before rest days... Is that any different where you come from?
I'm afraid we are not an important village... We are so close to the End Mountains and the Dark Territory that we don't get many visitors, so there is no place for that, except for the Church.
[When you get there, musicians are setting up on the stage! The tables are already set up, but have nothing on them. People seem busy. There's a big man overseeing everything with arms crossed and a satisfied look on his face.
Everyone is dressed in villager clothing except for... some people you may or may not see out of the corner of your eye, who seem to be wearing Imeeji clothing. But it may have been your imagination!]
Call me Gasfut, or Village Elder. Go back to the main street, all the way to the east of the village, and you will find a house there. Give this to the woman. It's this month's pay for the Tree of Life carver.
As Eve will find out, the Village Elder's directions were not too vague. There is, yes, only one house at the end of the street to the east, near the eastern gate.
The door to the front yard is open. And if Eve pays attention, he'll notice there's something on the grass, surrounded by a very faint light blue glow.]

Tell me, dear, until the party starts is there anywhere a weary man might rest a little?

[she stands up, grabs a paper bag, and throws a piece of bread in there. she hands it to him]
In case you, ah... get hungry, before tonight, you can take this.
[because obviously there are no restaurants in this village either]
no subject
[Taking the bag and leaning in to give her hand a quick kiss.]
I shall be certain my next visit in the morning, when I can truly appreciate your radiance, the lovely dawn, and your exceptional breads all in one.

Ah--- That's--- not our custom...!

[he hands him a bag. full of coin.]
no subject
Does she have a name?
no subject
Celinia, Orkut's daughter. She is always at her parents' house at this time of the day.
no subject
I see. All the way east for Celinia then.
[He could keep the cash but he's curious about this delivery quest so he's gonna go actually do it.]
