The farmers market is bustling with people, the smells of freshly baked bread and roasted coffee filling the air. Stalls are arranged in neat rows with colorful fruits and vegetables displayed, and vendors chat brightly with customers. The atmosphere is cheerful and inviting.
Sabrina was excited to be out and about today. Her mother and father told her to check out the farmers market for anything to use in the hotel kitchen. She was amazed by the variety of fruits and vegetables on display. "I wonder where I should start first?" She thought out loud.
Using her eyes darting around in amazement, Sabrina wandered around the market. She couldn't believe how many different types of produce she was seeing, and she couldn't decide where to begin. Taking a deep breath, she headed to the first stall.

Embly was out and about buying vegetables and other things she needed to cook in her kitchen at home, she still lived in her parent's home since it was a manor and her parents were never home anyway. They had been jet-setting all over the world since she was little and hardly ever spent time at home. She had been taking care of herself for a long time now and it suited her even if it was a bit lonely at times. She had been sad when Sam had left after the battle. She had felt it was nice having someone else living with her to keep her company but she couldn't force them to stay with her and she understood they wanted to rebuild their own life so it was fine really. She noticed a young girl shopping as well and she was a little surprised by this but she didn't question it since she had once been in that same spot parents too busy to help out their child. Not that every parent was bad because of this since parents had jobs as well. Some kids were just really independent. Which really wasn't a bad thing right?

Sabrina was so excited to help the family business. Honestly, she didn't think anything was too strange about someone her age being out at the farmers market alone. She was proud to contribute. She knew it was important for the business to succeed. It was important to her that they knew that the hotel was just as important to her as it was to them. She also knew that farmers markets provided a unique opportunity to support local businesses and farmers. Which is why her family hotel being locally owned they bought all their needs from the farmers market. Local support local her parents always said with a smile.
With that thought in mind, she headed towards a fruit stall she noticed in front of her, since it all looked so shiny and delicious. As she was travelling that way she got a little too focused on the booth and not enough on the people around her. So she accidently bumped into a female. She immediately turned and said, "Oh my gosh I'm so so sorry! Are you alright?"

Embly ended up dropping some things on the ground but she was more worried about the girl she had run into. "Oh no no, are you alright? I must have not been paying attention to where I was going." She was a flustered mess. She looked the girl over to make sure she was alright. She didn't know what she would do if she wasn't it would look strange indeed if Embly ran off, left her vegetables to go change into Silistra to come back and bind her wounds. Then again she supposed wounds could be bound the old fashion way as well.

Sabrina was so happy the person seemed to be alright, as she bent down, and helped her pick up her dropped groceries. "No no i'm okay! Totally not on you! I'm so so sorry I wasn't looking where I was heading!" she said as she reached around her to pick up the dropped items and place them back in the female's bag.
Sabrina smiled and said as she placed the final item in the bag, "Again I'm sorry I saw something shiny and got distracted. I should be shopping for my families' hotel, but sometimes distractions happen." she responded with a slight laugh. "Oh and I'm Sabrina," she said holding out her hand.
She knew that when she told her parents about this, they would be so concerned, and probably hug her until she stopped breathing. It took all her might to get them to allow her to help with the shopping. She knew next time she would need to be more careful for sure since she didn't want to let them down ever.

Embly sighed with relief when she heard that the girl was alright they were both alright and she was kind enough to help her pick up her things. "Oh my that must be a lot of responsibility, your family must really trust you, distractions or not. It's nice to meet you I'm Embly." She said nodding since her arms were a little full at the moment. "I don't get out much so I don't go to hotels often, what hotel does your family own?" She asked in a curious tone. She also wondered what sorts of things Sabrina was supposed to buy from the market today.

Sabrina thought about it for a moment and agreed with the girl that it was a big responsibility. Sabrina collected her thoughts and told her that her family owned a hotel in the city centre. "It's called Hotel Luna," she explained. "We just finished updating it during the festival, and it's a different kind of hotel. It's more like a home than a place away from home." As she talked about the hotel she smiled. She could feel the energy and excitement coursing through her veins as she talked about the improvements made to the hotel. She was proud to be a part of making it something special and memorable.
"It's nice to meet you, Embly. I'm traveling to the market to buy some desert supplies for a special apple pie we are making. So some apples, eggs, lemon juice, and I heard a lady here sells homemade pie crust!" she exclaimed. Since she was looking forward to making the special apple pie for the guests. She was excited to help her family with such a significant task.
That was when she noticed the girls' hands were rather full. "Thats awesome you were able to get out though, would you like some help carrying those groceries to your door? I don't mind helping," she offered.

Embly smiled she didn't really understand how a hotel was a home and not a place away from home, didn't that make it an apartment? It all sounded so strange. She decided not to question it though. "Oh, that sounds nice, and makes sense apple pie sounds like home to me." Not something she would know well since her house was just that a house not a home. "Oh that is very kind of you, but I'll be alright, I'll call a car when I'm ready." She said blushing. She didn't like pointing out she was from a well-off family. "Do you need any help finding what you need?"

Sabrina had never even concerned how others might see the hotel, she just knew how she saw it. An amazing home, and a home for anyone who stays there. She was glad she had a way to get home, and didn't have to carry them all the way home. She was worried she might have a hard time. She couldn't help but remember her first time shopping, and she bought too much.
"Well I'm glad you have a way home. My first time here I tried to put it all in a wagon and tote it home. I found out then that most vendors here were willing to take it to my family's hotel. Quick lesson, but I made many people laugh." She smiled at the thought.
Then it occurred to her that she needed to shop for apple pie ingredients. "I agree, apple pie is delicious and perfect for our hotel. Oh and if you don't mind I'd love some help picking some apples. Those are always my hardest things to choose, they just all look so delicious." At the offer of help she was relieved, and thankful someone could help choose only the best apples out. Since the guests at the hotel all deserved the best.

Embly smiled and lead the way to her favorite apple stand where they had many different types of apples classic red apples, granny smith, honey crisp, gala and many more. "So what sort of flavor were you wanting to do?" She knew a little some apples were too sweet for making pies with. At least that was what she had heard.

It took her a minute to think about it, since she hadn't considered what type of apple to use. Then it hit her. "I think my mother said we wanted to have a sweet-tart flavor," she said hoping that would help as she looked around the stands surrounding them. Was there an apple here that could help make the families hotel pie perfect.

Embly pointed to the Cosmic crisp apples and then she said "Then I think these are what you want they are a hybrid of honey crisps but they have a tartness that honey crisp apples do not have." She said in a gentle tone.

Sabrina rushed over and looked at the Cosmic crisp apples. As she looked they were not only shiny but they looked like the perfect apples for the pie. "Can you please pack up a large crate of the Cosmic crisp apples and deliver this to hotel Luna?" she asked the vendor kindly. As the vendor nodded their head she opened her bat backpack and pulled out her wallet. She quickly handed over 250$ dollars. "Thank you so much, and please keep the change! My family wants you to know we appreciate you!" she said with a smile as she turned back to Embly and put her wallet back in her backpack.
"Thank you so much for all your help! I really appreciate it, and if you'd like you are free to stop by and enjoy some apple pie for all your help," she said kindly. She knew her parents wouldn't mind in the slightest. Especially knowing she helped their daughter they would literally be overjoyed.

Embly smiled a real smile, less shy than her normal smile, but still somewhat reserved. "I will keep that in mind." She said, "Take care going home and perhaps I will see you another time."
