Malerin gets up and dusts herself off, she holds up a finger telling him to give her a moment. She slowly trails off toward her flower wagon and grabs a jar that has a couple of silver and copper coins in it. She walks over and gives it to Jaymir and says, "Don't tell Greemo I did this, he would get so jealous."
Jaymir's eyes widened in shock and his jaw dropped before saying, "I can't, I didn't earn it." she pushed the jar closer to him while leaning up to his ear as she whispered, "Then work for it, my flowers have been dying. Can you look for clues to see what exactly is going on?" Jaymir nodded as he said, "Perhaps I can repay you someday in the future while doing this." she leaned backward getting face to face with him, her eyes narrowing and her ruby eyes sparkled in the daylight's hue, as a smile formed on her face, "that would be great."
Jaymir gulps and his skin forms chills, his heart beats faster and the hairs on his arm stick up as he looks at her. Mental images form in his mind of him and her sitting at a table on a beautiful day laughing and sipping on something to drink. A smirk forms on his face as he says, "I'll do it! I am going to try to make this town look great again!" his face glows, but he adds, "I hope you can wait that long."
Malerin smiles and nods, "If I can see this tree grow again, I will be happy to wait." Jaymir nods and he sits there thinking of a way to even where to start looking without going to Greemo, sense he knew what was going on.
Jaymir looks at Malerin while stroking his beard as he asks, "Do you know when the tree started to look like this?" his attention turned to the tree as he looked up and down scanning it for any answers. Malerin answers, "Well now that you ask, it was when Greemo came into town doing a sell pitch, that he can warn off the beasts." Jaymir shocked a look of surprise and anger back at Malerin as he said in his mind, "And he scolded me about making the town look bad?" however, Jaymir took a deep breath as he said, "No, no... I am not pointing fingers." he took another deep breath, however, Malerin tilted her head in confusion.
Jaymir explained the information he was gathering, "So Greemo, came in Bumbleweed, stating a selling pitch to get rid of the beasts, is that correct?" Malerin nodded and replied, "Yes, you are correct." Jaymir stroked his beard while saying, "Interesting, I am going to gather more information before I take action, I am new here, after all."
Jaymir looked at the building where he first went into and strolled over to it, but said, "You just wait for me here, okay." Malerin nodded and headed back to her flower wagon. Jaymir walked through the doors of the building, and everyone still had glued expressions on their faces, however, some snickered and mocked Jaymir, but he continued, this time with an expression that he was on a mission.
The man looked at Jaymir as he stated, "Ah it's the mister with no money." the tavern snickered and tried their best not to burst into laughter. Jaymir just glared at the man as he stated, "Go on everyone laugh, but anyone that doesn't give me the answers I need is going to be reported to the guards." Jaymir's statement shut everyone up and everyone gulped, but some glared at him.
Jaymir scanned the area and gave a smirk, "Now, does anyone know when the tree outside started to rot and wither?" the man who was the innkeeper stated, "Okay, look I don't want trouble." he poured Jaymir and drink and gave him some bread, "I tell you the history about the tree." Jaymir sat down grabbed the mug and the plate of bread and began to eat it as he listened to the man's story.
