Karothdra accepted the gift packages with a grateful nod, these were small and easily travelled with. "Thank you," she said. "I’ve no doubt that these teas will be well-received. And I will certainly keep you in mind for any future tea-related needs." The Oban gave the gifts one final look over to make sure everything was in order. When it was, she offered the merchant a smile.
“May I know your name? I’d like to be able to recommend you to others since you’ve been so helpful. And will you be in town for a long time? How often do you come by Oba?”

Cassia returned Karothdra's smile, pleased by the general's appreciation for her teas. "My name is Cassia," she replied warmly. "And it would be my pleasure for you to recommend me to others. I do try to visit Oba regularly, as it's always a pleasure to explore the markets."
She paused for a moment, considering Karothdra's questions. "I'll be in town for a few more days at least, but I do travel often in search of new teas to add to my collection. However, I always make sure to return to Oba whenever I can. Your markets are very impressive!" There were also some things she could only purchase when she was in town.

Karothdra nodded. "I'm glad to hear that," she replied. She glanced around the bustling marketplace at Cassia’s comment. "Yes, our markets are indeed impressive," she agreed, a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips. "There's always something new and exciting to discover here, whether it's exotic spices, rare artifacts, or, of course, your delightful teas."
Karothdra's gaze returned to Cassia, her expression thoughtful. "I'll make sure to spread the word about your teas," she promised. "And if you ever need anything while you're in Oba, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to assist." She usually didn’t go out of her way to help those outside her close circle, but she wanted to help this little merchant.

Cassia smiled gratefully at Karothdra's offer of assistance, touched by the kindness. "Thank you," she said, her voice warm with sincerity. "Your support means a great deal to me, and I'll be sure to keep you in mind if I ever need assistance while I'm in Oba."
As Karothdra prepared to take her leave, Cassia felt a pang of reluctance to see her go. She had enjoyed their conversation. "Before you go," Cassia said, reaching into a nearby basket and selecting a small pouch of tea leaves, "please accept this as a token of my gratitude. It's a special blend that I reserve for my regular customers. I hope you enjoy it." With a smile, Cassia handed the pouch to Karothdra.

Karothdra accepted the pouch of tea leaves with a nod. "Thank you, Cassia," she said, genuinely touched by the merchant's kindness. "I look forward to trying it."
Tucking the pouch carefully into her bag, Karothdra offered Cassia a smile. "It's been a pleasure meeting you," she said, her tone sincere. With a final nod of farewell, Karothdra turned and made her way through the bustling marketplace, her thoughts lingering on the delightful encounter she had just had with Cassia. She was looking forward to trying these with her family and handing out the gifts. She hoped everyone would enjoy them.
