In the doorway, a 4 foot tall baby faced, busty youngling with flowing, mid back length dark blue hair and pale blue eyes trembled. The girl's eyes were puffy from crying and she was shaking. Her short long sleeved, white dress was frayed at the hem and at the edges of her sleeve cuffs. She stared after the departing woman and saw the Ryuusei approach. Apocynum tenderly dabbed at her eyes with a faded pink handkerchief that she had pulled from her ample bust.

“Go…Good morning! W…welcome to A..Arata! Please come in,” Apocynum bowed awkwardly and deeply as she greeted the Ryuusei. Despite her distress, the shopkeeper meant to salvage her day.
