The sound of footsteps melded in the breeze, the steps belonged to a young-looking brunette, who had to go to the Serene Cliffs for a certain reason.

The young woman, known as Aino, decided it was a good idea to assist someone who sounded like they needed help. Apparently, an elderly man has hurt his back, and so needed someone to help him with gathering ingredients. Aino felt bad for him when she first caught wind of it and so decided to take the journey and get some ingredients for him.

Because Aino wanted to take a nice walk, she didn’t bring Kazuno with her. She felt Kazuno could take a day off of sorts, the cutie needed rest now and then, and didn’t really need to assist Aino with everything. Besides, Aino could have used the walk anyway, and it was a lovely day… even if it was autumn and rather windy, which let her hair wave and dance around with the breezy currents.

After some time, Aino finally made it to the area. She just needed to speak to the man, simply because she wanted to let him know that she has arrived for the job. She even brought her staff with her, just incase it was needed to get stuff from high places. It was clear she was ready for this moment.

Finally, Aino was at the house the man resided in. She started to make her way to the door of the house and hoped that it wouldn’t be too bad of a confrontation, even if it was a nice one at that. She couldn’t handle strangers too well, and so she knew she had to be careful. Maybe this won’t be as bad as she thinks, since she seems to take her opinions of strangers too highly.

OOC: I didn't know how you wanted this done xD So I just hoped for the best.

The door wasn’t open yet, but that was fine. Aino was sure that the old man was taking some time due to the pain that he was experiencing, that was okay. Nothing wrong with that at all. On the bright side, the old man must be very happy. He had a very nice view and so Aino was slightly jealous. She would have loved to live somewhere with a nice view.

Suddenly, her thoughts were stopped mid-way, it seemed that someone caught her attention. She looked to the side to see another female, her blonde hair tied up by the looks of things, and her red jacket seemed to have suited her a lot. The female seemed rather sweet, and so Aino has decided to try to get to know the blonde.

“Hello!” Aino greeted, her voice sounding as sweet as always. She even bowed down slowly to the female before standing up fully. “Ah, yes, I am! I kinda felt sorry for him, and so it felt right to do!” Once she answered the other girls question, Aino decided to take a step forward, but was halted by the sounds of a door opening. It was the old man.

While it took Aino by surprise, she was also unsure what to do as she stood there awkwardly, she could talk, but what if the man wanted to talk, what if the other girl wanted to talk first?? This was indeed very awkward.

“G-greetings!” Aino gave off a awkward smile as she said hello to the man. “I am here for the job! Someone else is here for the job too so I am sure you’ll have lots of ingredients and food in no time!” Aino was trying to sound as professional as possible, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

The young woman was very good at easing her worries, maybe she should let the female do the talking while Aino just stood there to look pretty. Even when the two went inside, she stood there, listening to what the man had to say. When the female motioned her to follow suite, she did so, trying to keep her cool and calm composure.

Nodding towards the blonde, the female gazed around with her greenish hues, keeping an eye on things as the two toddled around the property like nobody's business. It wasn’t that difficult to find the brown wooden thing eventually, which gave out a few gasps from Aino.

“This shed is tiny!” Aino exclaimed as she toddled over to it. Her gentle hand placed itself on the knob, or what seemed to be the knob anyway, and opened it. Thanks to the sunlight, she was able to glance around the shed with no worry about it whatsoever. It didn’t take long for Aino to find out where the baskets were, and my oh my, they were larger than usual. Would she be even able to carry the ingredients?!

“These baskets are big! You should check them out!” Aino smiled softly as she grabbed both of them, and walked backwards to get out the shed. Unfortunately, she didn’t expect to land herself on her butt afterwards, with the two baskets on her lap.

“Oh, hahaha! Here, take one.” Aino smiled softly as she looked to her companion for the day as she stood up and offered the second basket to her. “I don’t want to trip again, hehe.”

Tilting her head to the site, she gasped softly and fumbled around in a little panic. “Oh! I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Aino! Aino Koizumi! It will be a pleasure to work with you!” The brunette finished speaking as she looked over to the shed once more. “I wonder what ingredients we will find... hmm…”

Jaleh was very good at giving orders, and very good at reassuring her aswell. Compared to Aino, who could have a heart attack from anything that breathed, she seemed to be some sort of figure to look up to. Jaleh seemed to be a confident young woman, one who knew what she was doing, and Aino really liked that.

Listening to Jaleh’s instructions, Aino took them in her head rather well and even nodded, understanding what needed to be done. “Right! Edible plants… edible plants…”

Aino decided, with the spare basket that she got from the shed, to go off and look for things that would be classed as edible plants. Biting her lower lip, she scoured the area for the stuff. To Aino’s amazement, she found some herbs laying around, she also found some edible mushrooms, as to which she picked adequate amounts of. She looked around for other things that could be eaten, but she didn’t have as keen eyes as others might say when it comes to pointing out that kinda stuff.

Picking her basket up, she gawked around, looking for Jaleh once more to tell her that she has picked up some mushrooms and some herbs too. While it wasn’t that much, she thought it was a decent start. Finally, she spotted Jaleh, she didn’t know what Jaleh was doing exactly, but she would like to tell Jaleh about the ingredients.

“Jaleh.” Aino smiled softly as she tried to get her companion's attention. “I have found mushrooms and some herbs, they are right over there if you want to pick some.” Raising her pointing finger slightly, Aino then shot her arm out to the designated area. “Have you spotted anything yet??”

Aino was starting to get more comfortable in her own skin around Jaleh, albeit, it was rather slowly. Not that it mattered much though, baby steps is the key to confidence.

Aino was beginning to understand the wild just that little bit more, as in whats edible and what wasn’t edible, after doing what Jaleh suggested with the berries and such, she also decided to look up in some of the trees, and as Jaleh said, there was indeed some fruit. Aino was lucky to have brought her staff with her, otherwise she wouldn’t of been able to otherwise.

Biting her lower lip, she plopped her basket down, and with her staff, she started to whack the trees and their branches, just so some of the fruit can come down. Unfortunately, Aino had a really bad time with this. Apples decided to make their mark as a few whacks and pokes made most of them come tumbling down, worst was that she whacked a few at the same time. All the apples piled on top of her, popping out her head, she noticed that her hands were still in the open air, but her basket was covered in the apples.

“Gah!” Aino reacted as she tried to wiggle around. Try as she might however, and she wasn’t able to…

“Jaleh!” The brunette exclaimed, trying to grab her attention as she struggled with the apple mountain. She suddenly felt very awkward over the whole thing, but she would be glad to have some help.

“This is absolutely horrible…” Aino mumbled as she looked to her sides. This reminded her of a time when she was little, before her father became the way he was towards her. They would always go scrumping for apples for ideas for winery. While Aino cannot forgive the man, she can at least respect the guy for his jobs in the wine industry. It made her want to do something involving wine sooner or later, and she also wanted to open up a place for wines.

That was it! She had an idea! While it might take some time, and though she was extremely nervous about it, she decided that she should open up a wine restaurant. She could make wines for adults, and even wine without the alcohol, just for the kids and the ones who are underage.
