 Girafarig pushed a wooden cart ahead of her in the forest. It was full of tons of pieces of rolled up parchment paper tied up with string. Every now and then, she'd stop and hawk her wares. "Come one, come all! If you've ever gotten lost in Wysteria Forest, then this is the deal for you. For one - yes, just one - artichoke, you get the most comprehensive map of Wysteria Forest. That I know of. In the rare event that you don't have one, then I also accept payment in any combination of fruits and vegetables. I am not interested in meat. Take that elsewhere."She saw this as a win-win situation. She was hungry, but had a good sense of direction and wasn't a poor artist. She figured that somewhere out there had to be someone who was lost, but loaded with food. I mean, she did hear that her brother, Livewire, got lost here before, so it wasn't impossible now, was it? Girafarig just had to be patient. And loud. All the merchants she ever saw were plenty loud, so that part must've been important. "Maps, maps! Get your hot and ready, all purpose, multi-cultural maps here! They come in bite-sized and econo-sized for your viewing pleasure..."

 Sea was just minding his own business, like usual. He had just gone to the marketplace at Urasiel Glades to get few edible food. Running on human food from Juli and all was good, but she has the bad habit of forgetting to feed him when she had to do her homework. or worst. forget to feed herself. So it was for the best that he bought all these apples and oranges and grapes. He looked around at all the tall trees. so why was it that he can't seem to find his way back to his glade? Urasiel was home to his species after all... it's impossible for a Ceta like himself to get lost there right?
Sea continued to wander around, looking utterly lost, even if still wasn't aware of it. Hmm... Maybe.. Juli had planted all this weird trees in their glade... was all that he could think of to explain his current situation.

Girafarig's eyes lit up when she saw the potential customer. She had to look her best. She preened herself - she wished there was a mirror handy, so she didn't have to guess - and rehearsed her smile. "You can do this. You can make this sale."
AAfter she gave herself that pep talk, she pushed her cart towards him."Good morning, sir. I am Girafarig, purveyor of the finest maps that I know of. What brings you here to Wysteria Forest this fine day? Would you be interested in a map? They come in an assortment of sizes and the smallest one only costs one fruit or vegetable."

Sea cocked his head sideways and gaze at the cartload of maps with interest. ooh~ maps~ perhaps she has a treasure map? it'll be a good deal if it's just trading a fruit for a map that leads to unimaginable wealth! His eyes started to sparkle with wonder as he imagined all sorts of things he might be able to find. it was only a few minutes latter that he noticed that Girafarig was waiting for his answer. He smiled a little sheepishly.
"oh... good morning, miss Girafarig... i think you must be lost. this is my glade you see, kind miss. " The ceta said happily. " Wysteria is a dangerous place. so that's why i make sure to stay away from it~"

Girafarig couldn't tell what he was thinking, but for a while there, his expression had her convinced that she was about to make a sale. She rose in anticipation. Then, she heard what he said and she drooped. "Thank you, sir. Thanks very much for your concern, but I can assure you I'm not lost. I have a great sense of direction, after all! It'd be terrible if a mapmaker got lost, wouldn't it?" She didn't want to give up on her customer just yet. "Oh, but since this is your glade - I'd call it a forest, but to each their own, y'know - you must never got lost here. Do you want a different kind of map?"

" well... there is this one map that i've always wanted to have.... " Sea paused for a while as he ponders what kind of treasure map he might want. A pirate's treasure map would be good... but then the pirates might chase after him if they found out... a haunted house treasure map would be good too! except that he was afraid of ghosties... unless... he dragged Juli along! then if they found something, then the ghost would be likelier to chase after the one with more meat on it right? so... they probably won't notice the littl gladier trailing after the Gaian, right?
Then, as if reaching a conclusion, Sea smiled at Girafarig. < a haunted treasure map. that's what i want. >

"Really, now? I can help." Girafarig liked the look in his eyes. It looked like he was hungry for this map. Now, she wished he would tell her what exactly he wanted, so she could help him better. She didn't think she'd get any closer by guessing. "Just tell me what it is."
