[Obviously, farming wasn't her style. But she knew she had to make money. As long as she was stuck in this place, she had to do what she could to survive. It was the first time she wasn't outright guaranteed a job of some kind. This was the frugal life, and she had to deal with it. But there had to be a better way to make some kind of profit. Anything to avoid breaking her feeble small body, she guessed.

Which meant Daria had to work at trying to make best out of her bad situation now (being whisked away AGAIN and all) and try...to do something about it. So for a few days, she spent extra time reading books. For research. Lots of research.



Which brought her to today. Now she had a question. She wasn't good at asking the public for things, or good with the public in general. But anyway, information. She needed it.]

I need some ginger root and glass jars. If anyone knows where I can get them pretty cheaply, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks, Aurora. I would very much. I have some cash I could give you for it. Name your price.

Oh... I admit I've never actually handled money before, or such exchanges in general.

Whatever you feel is fair will suit me fine. [How does one money? That's not a THING in the forest.]

[Well, there’s something to be said considering such an innocent demeanor.]

2/3

[standingonmyneck]

[Come on, Daria. You gotta help her out.]

3/3

If you never had to budget then that’s probably not a safe thing to do. You have to consider what’s going to help feed you.

[At least she's open and honest about it rather than pretending she understands.]

Well, I admit, learning what is and isn't safe in the forest will take some time but it will not be impossible. But I will keep that in mind for things like seeds and supplies for the farm. Still, I see no reason not to trust your judgement on a fair price, Daria.

[AND SHE’S SO NICE, she felt so awful!!!! There was a real desire to be fair, so if Aurora was going to be kind and honest. Eye for an eye. Treat people how you want to be treated, all and all.]

So here’s a good first lesson; I could give you what it would cost for some packets of seeds of what you're growing. Or, if you want, I could buy some seeds and we can do a trade just so you’re not in the hole in crop. Whichever works best.

[beautyrest]

Hm, well in that case, why don't we do the cost of the seeds. I think that seems fair enough to me, it will replace the ginger I'll be giving you.

[standingonmyneck]

That's completely fair. That's bartering. Value for the value.

My first bartering! How exciting!
