Part 627: Cordelia A

Yikes, I think my arms have gone numb from carrying so much stuff!

I appreciate your help. I had no idea I'd bought so much until it was too late. It was very good of you to come and escort me around the market.

So, now that we've been shopping, how's the lovesick heart? Better?

What do you mean?

I asked Lissa for advice, and she told me to take you on a big shopping trip. She said a few hours trying on dresses and armor would fix that broken heart, pronto!

So this was all a plot to make me feel better, was it? Well, I would never have believed it, but I DO feel better. Thank you.

Great! So now that we know shopping works, let's go to the market again!

Er, but we were just there.

I can go back and forth all day if that's what it takes! Plus, they had this eyeball in a jar that I wanted to-

Henry, you're very kind, but I think you've done enough for one day.

Then how abour some comfort food? Fruit pies and cream? Candy apples? Macaroni and cheese with fried boar crisps and crumbled horse-

Definitely not! I have to stay in fighting shape.

Anyway, it wasn't the shopping that made me feel better- it was being with you.

What, really?

Just knowing that you care enough to help is comfort in itself. We could have done anything and you would have lifted my spirits.

I don't really get all this "feelings" stuff, but if you say so. Er, but if you're REALLY grateful, you could join me for a fruit pie...

Oh, all right. ...But just the one!
