Amaia had just purchased a new book to add to her collection at home when she noticed a very troubled looking man dressed in a chefs attire. She approached curiously and asked the man what was wrong. "Hello. I couldn't help but notice that you seem to be quite upset. What ever is the matter good sir?"
"Huh....oh....Hi...sorry kid, it's just that my restaurants in a bit of a pickle...you see, a new joint just opened up a couple of months ago...... and it's been getting popularity...well long story short... it ain't looking good for my business.... most of my workers were offered higher pay by the other restaurant.... so they quit....now I'm understaffed.... we still get faithful customers every once in awhile.... but it's not enough.... I may have to close down soon..." The man told his story with a heavy sigh and look of defeat in his eyes. Amaia felt sorry, at the same time she knew it was how the world worked. She reached up having to tip toe to pat the poor man on the head.
"Well have you tried a different approach in advertising your restaurant? Perhaps try a new recipe of some sort? Judging by the competition you may want to allocate your assets to the weakest point of you business..... or perhaps further strengthen what makes your business popular... either way it seems that you need to do something fresh or new..." Amaia spoke with utmost clarity and grace. It left the man stunned and confused that such a little girl could speak in such a mature manner.
"....Well...uh...I've tried...but it seems like it's over for me...." The man sighed. Amaia frowned and gave him a scowl, it made her cuter rather than threatening.
"Nonsense! If there is a will, there is a way. What's your name sir?" Amaia said with a stern look on her face, stern..yet adorable.
"The names Bob... I own Bob's burgers....whats you're name kid?" inquired the man still utterly confused by the child demeanor.
"Amaia....come lets save that restaurant of yours." with that said Amaia accompanied Bob to his restaurant, there she and bob exchanged recipes and ideas. Eventually they came up with a delicious burger seasoned with various hers and spices. Amaia also helped make a new flavored tea and dessert for the menu. Amaia then stood out in front of the shop wearing an apron that was a bit too big for her. She then helped pass out free samples to reel in customers. Soon enough in a couple of hours people began to flock at the restaurant. It came to the point where Amaia had to help out in the kitchen, and lead the other chefs as rush hour came along.
Eventually Amaia took a break and sat herself down at a table and watched as families and friends entered the restaurant. She was glad she stuck around to help out Bob. The truth was Amaia was very nervous, she wasn't sure if people would have like the recipes she made up. But seeing the abundant amount of people made her smile and put her heart at ease.
"Kid I owe you one...come back anytime, everything will be on the house for you and your family.... I don't know how ya did it.... but thanks a bunch kid... you saved me and my wife's restaurant.... I don't know how I can ever replay you..." Bob said tearing up a bit. Amaia smiled sweetly.
"I'm a Saber tooth mage... It's my job to help people out." Amaia said with a warm smile as she stood up on the chair to reach out and pat Bob on the head. Bob thanked her once again and rushed off back into the kitchen to deal with the wave of orders that recently came in with the mass of people that had just recently entered. "A job well don Amaia...a job well done." She said with a soft chuckle.
