Arydia looked back down at her gold coins after seeing no possible explanation. What explanation was there? Her gold coins had gone missing for but a minute and then suddenly, after fretting her heart over it, broken for that minute, they had appeared from the sky, or tree.
She was just putting the coins back into her pocket, remembering to keep a closer eye on the coins when she heard a man speak to her. She jumped, looking up at the man, who looked to be of higher status than her. Her heritage shone through her mind and she didn't bow.
"I'm...I'm quite well," she said as she sniffled, wiping away her tears. "Thank you, kind sir." She got to her feet, a hand on the bark of the tree to steady herself. The crying had left her thirsty and dizzy. "I thought I had lost something precious to me, but I thought wrong." She added in a nervous chuckle, more to herself than to lighten the situation regardless of the fact that it seemed to be in no need of lightening.
