A new beginning - [Cora Greenberg]

[Herb]

Timestamp - 25 Summer 511 AV It was just about getting light in the morning, when Herb began to wake up a yawn erupting from his mouth. Sitting up in his makeshift bunk he throws off the covers and eyes the small shack he calls home. His bunk in one corner of this shrunken wooden shack, a series of bookshelves that seem out of place in such a small space. Climbing out of his bunk he walked over to the small little bowl of water, and gently washes the remaining sleep from his eyes, muttering to himself his plans for the day ' Well now, another morning, things to do,'. Pauses muttering briefly, and looks around for something yet unsure of what he's actually looking for. Grabbing his cropped tools, (basically normal tools, just cut smaller to fit his size better), he strolls out of the shack, and into his small little garden full of a wide range of plants and herbs. Sifting his gaze over the loose soil the plants are growing out of, picking up and removing any of the weeds he dosn't want in there, clipping some of the better grown herbs and plants to reduce there size and make use of them for later, each clipping being put into a small basket laying beside it. Spending most of the day just going over and this same small patch of garden, untill he's happy the clipping taken are enough and suitable for the purpose he wanted them for, going back inside he sets the basket on to a little table and beings to get to work. Realising though that he'd recently broken his last Pestle and Mortar needed for the required process, setting down his herbs and grabbing his bag from the hook, he rummages round his hideaway for a couple of Gold Mizaz that he would be needing, and leaves through his front door. Making his way slowly down towards the markets and shops, having to sidestep and keep out of the way of the all the big people going about their daily lives completely oblivious to anything underneath their dedicated gaze on the path ahead. Finally finding what he was looking for he entered the shop with a little help from a passer by as he couldn't quite reach the handle of the door, once inside he approached the shop keeper. ' Good afternoon, I was wondering if you happen to have some form of Pestle n mortar set, along with some heating jars, poltice jars and some vials? ', he asked politely almost catching the shop keeper by surprise that this deep bassy voice came from almost nowhere, until he looked down and noticed this foot tall statue with a walking staff and shoulder sack standing there.

Cora woke up into a beautiful day. She gave a mighty yawn and slowly dragged herself out of her bed. Then she went to the window and opened it wide, to let some of the summer warmth and light into the room. She did her usual morning routine and then she went to grab something to eat. Her parents were nowhere to be seen, but it was no wonder, because it was still very early and they were still most likely asleep. When she was eating her breakfast, she started thinking about her day. She could stay at home, to see if there was something that her parents needed help with or, and that was more tempting, she could go outside and see if there was something interesting to do. After contemplating for a while, she decided to go out. She needed to replenish her medical supplies and buy some healing balms after all. She finished her breakfast, went back into her room to take her bag and some money and she slowly started walking through the city. There were many people around. Especially today, because it was such a wonderful day. Two or three passerby greeted her politely. They were all people from their neighbourhood, whom she helped to treat when they were ill. She replied with a smile and a nod. She wasn’t usually that friendly, but she knew these people and at home they always reminded her to treat the people, especially patients, with respect and care. She wandered about the city for an hour and then she decided to go shopping. When she reached her destination, she walked in the shop. “Good morning.” She said politely to the shopkeeper and went to the counter immediately. Unexpectedly, she staggered over something. She got up and looked at what was that she staggered over. At first, she thought that it was some statue, but then she noticed, that it was moving. “Um...sorry.” she apologised and looked at the small figure in confusion. OOCCora has never seen a Pycon before. She knows that they exist, but she has never seen one. That's why she reacts this way.

Gathers up his bag and staff which he dropped after picking himself up from a crumpled heap on the floor, looking back at this lumbering oaf that just fell over him. ' Oh no worries, i'm surprisingly used to it. You giant's never seem to look down.' He replies with a vast grin spread over his face, giving himself a little stretch of the arms and legs, he looks around the shop again as if forgetting what he came in for. A sudden look shot over his face and looking back to the shop keeper ' Erm yes, I don't suppose you have any of those items I asked for a little while ago would you? Clumsy me broke my last lot.' Looking back at this new stranger he had a strange thought ' Are you a herbalist healer type person as well?, I'm Herb by the way, very nice to be tripped over by yourself.' Another grin spreads over his face, as if happy that his cheerful nature won out over a grumpier response. Noting t that she had also fallen over he looked over the floor and aided in picking up anything that she might have dropped and handing it back to her.
