Elder Ling picked a grassy spot under a tree for everyone to mentally prepare themselves for the competition, while Cain read the minds of the people around him to find the best option for a snack before the matches.
The most popular answer seemed to be chewy peanut butter rice cakes from a stall not far from where they would be competing, and it was already busy, so Cain flagged down a local kid who was offering guide services and reservations at local restaurants to pick up an order for them.
"Are you partial to those ones? There is another place not far from here that has really good ones as well." The local suggested.
"I just heard that they were good. How much for three dozen?" Cain asked.
"Four silver coins for the large ones, One silver for the small ones, with the delivery fee." The boy answered.
