Ancora cursed a string of elvish as she sliced into her fingertips again, making them sting horribly. The woolly ram in front of her bleated mockingly, and she scowled, giving it a light pat to send it away while she examined the pair of rusty shears she had been using. The Elven woman's eyes narrowed in annoyance: The blades were dull and chipped, and the hinges were stiff with rust and grime. With a despondent sigh she stood, removing her apron and letting her long hair from its tie. She fished around in her coin purse for pieces of silver, and was satisfied when the contents rung like a bell: This spring's harvest had been bountiful.
Rushing to her house, she opened her pantry and pulled out a loaf of bread, still warm from the baking she had done that morning. Wrapping it in a cloth, and making sure she was somewhat presentable, she exited her property and strode down the main road into town: It was time to visit her friend Yoshi.
