A Matter of Herbs (Sithia + Gabor) Feb 12, 2015 19:47:00 GMT

Gabor had been in Delverne for the past couple of days and dreadfully awaited the air ship that would take him back to the capitol. Just like his previous trip, he was struck by air sickness again and there was not much he could do than lean over the edge of the ship and, well… let it all out. It seemed that it took years to arrive in Miras’ port, but when it finally did the soldier praised the Gods and immediately got off. His legs felt like jam and his mouth was dry and pasty and his complexion had a pale green tint to it.

He began wondering through the streets of Miras. It was crowded and a very busy place and though he knew it was a beautiful city, he had no will to play tourist today and admire what the capitol had to offer. He was air sick again, though this time he was determine not to vomit on anyone.

That’s when Gabor noticed a shop along the street. He stared at it for a moment before he had an idea. Maybe they had something that would help him! It wouldn’t hurt to try and ask. He opened the door and stepped in.

It had been a normal day for Sithia inside the shop so far. She cleaned the shelves maybe one or two costumers were passing by, looking around but nothing special happened at all and she was fine with it. The air was filled with the scent of different kinds of herbs and flowers. Some people might consider her work as something boring but the half-elf enjoyed her work a lot. Whenever she wasn't inside the shop she was out to gather herbs and flowers, but the current season forced her to stay inside most of the times.

Sithia rearranged some bowls with herbs inside, deciding which kind of medicine is needed the most. She was lost in her thoughts when Gabor entered the shop, only noticing that somebody entered as the door shut behind the young man. The half elf turned around, smiling towards the new customer. "Good day!", Sithia said in a polite tone, a little happy that somebody entered the shop.

"May I help you with something or do you just look around?", she asked Gabor, still having the smile on her lips and she slowly approached the young man.

When the young soldier entered, he took a deep breath and his lungs were filled with different aromas. If he was not air sick, he would have probably liked the smell of the shop, but seeing as he was suffering from a bit of nausea all the different scents made his head spin a little. Urgh.

Gabor’s attention was caught when a young lady welcomed him in. Apparently she was the one who tended to the shop. “Good day,” he nodded at her before continuing. “I’m… hmm, just looking around.” He decided to say as he took a couple of steps away from the girl to go observe the shelves that were filled with different bottles and small pouches filled with herbs and whatnot. He wondered if there was something that could alleviate his unwanted symptoms. His stomach was still upside down and he was a little sweaty.

“I was wondering if you had anything for… air sickness? Something to help with the symptoms?” he asked after a moment.

Sithia waited for a reply and nodded towards him. "Alright, if you need something I am right over here.", she replied to the young man, turning away from him, going back to her previous work. She was not the type of person who bugs the costumer too much. Well to be honest she was not a talkative person either, but during her worktime it is okay because the people are just here for buying something, right? Normal customer are not coming here for having a chitchat and she was glad about that.

Her attention was off the young soldier because she just assumed that he would leave in any second. The young woman was rather surprised by his sudden request and she looked over her shoulder towards Gabor. "Excuse me?", she asked not understanding all of his words. "I am sorry I was not paying attention, what do you need?", Sithia apologized in case he might be mad that she was not listening. While she was looking a little closer at the soldier she noticed that he looked rather pale but maybe it was just her imagination.

Gabor was not mad at all. If anything, the only thing he was feeling at the moment were his insides twisting and turning in his stomach. He brought his hands behind his back and took a long deep breath, as if to recollect himself.

“Do you have anything that can help with air sickness? Maybe an infusion or brew of some sort?”, he asked as politely as he could. The soldier blinked at her a couple of times to stay focused before he continued. “I got off an air ship a while ago…” he added to explain the reason of his request.

The half-elf was watching him a little longer, frowning a little in concern. By now she was sure that something was not right with the young man in front of her.

Sithia listened to Gabor while he talked, describing what was wrong with him. She was quiet for a while, thinking about a 'cure' for that. Normally air sickness disappeared after the person left the airship... the same was for sea sickness, but sometimes the body was still in another shape on the ground. "I see.", she commented, mumbled these words more to herself. Now she has to figure out what sort of 'medicine' would help him. An infusion was maybe the best in his case because these are just some after effects. For a moment she drived away with her thoughts before she shook her head out of sudden, smiling slightly at the soldier.

"Well we do have something for the symptoms of air sickness. I would like to give you a mixture of an infusion and a brew. Your stomach has to settle down from the trip. Do you have any other symptoms like headaches?", she asked in a calm tone with a faint smile.

Gabor quickly shook his head and gulped. Thankfully, he did not have any headaches for a change. Ever since that horse accident when he was younger, he would suffer from time to time of bad migraines, but this was not the case. Apparently going on ships just made him nauseous. Urgh, he hated it. He was so exited the first time he got on one in Belport to travel to Miras, but now he did not look forward to it at all.

“Would there be any possibility of drinking it right now?” the soldier asked weakly though with a hint of desperation in his voice. He could feel his knees trembling and his stomach tearing him apart. Stupid air sickness. Stupid nausea. He really did not want to through up one someone else again. Last time he had been so “fortunate” that he vomited on a rather important person. An ambassador.

Sithia was glad that the costumer was not having some headache as well. Not like she had no idea how to cure that it is just one symptom she don't have to fix. Besides the mixture could cause some headache as an side effect. The half elf looked closely at Gabor again, not liking how miserable he looked, sure she saw worse from time to time but it was not changing the fact that she dislikes to see people in need. "Do... you need a bucket? Just in case of course.", she offered in acalm tone, tilting her head to the side.

"I need to heat it up first... and get the mixture together so it would take some time but not longer than 30 minutes.", Sithia replied to him, hearing the slight tone of despreation. "Do you want to sit down?", she mumbled in a worried tone, pointing towards a nearby chair. The last thing she wants is that he collapse, this guy looked heavier than her and dragging him to any place would be complicated.

(I am so sorry for teh slow reply ;A; )

((It’s okay :3))

When she offered a bucket, his first reaction was to shake his head. He could handle this; nausea was not suppose to be a problem for him. After a few moments though, he nodded his head vigorously, feeling his stomach turning inside. For the Gods, why did he have to suffer from air sickness?

The shop owner then pointed to a nearby chair and without a reply, he quickly made his way to it, wobbling a bit before he finally slumped on the chair. He was still sweating and his skin felt cold, but now that he was seated he was a bit relieved now.

“Thirty minutes… right,” he said, whipping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve of his uniform. “I… I can wait,” he whispered and wondered if that was true.

Brother's Bounty

12th Feb - 25th Feb
Delverne
A long winter has lead to dwindling stockpiles of food throughout the Cantish countryside. Although the problem is not as severe as a famine, peasants are finding themselves less comfortable than in previous years. Affected communities appeal to their leaders, only to receive excuses about food being diverted to the military for the good of the Kingdom. Fortunately, Cantor has a close and long-time ally in Delverne. The elvish state is happy to share supplies, pledging the surplus from public storehouses and organizing a food drive among the Delvan citizens...
