At Nigel's Breakfast Stall

" My surname is Emric and my name is Steve, Steve Emric" Steve said to her.

After taking their dosage of pills for the day, Steve and Sonia went back to bed and slept soundly till the next morning.

Sonia woke up early in the morning and sat down on a chair enjoying the cool early morning breeze.

" oh hey, you are awake" Steve stared at her with a charming smile on his face. He walked up to her and sat down beside her.

" Good morning, Miss Sonia, how was your sleep last night" He asked her

" It was fine and yours" She replied back to him.

" Mine was fine too"

" Are you in for a morning stroll and we can take our breakfast while at it" Steve asked Sonia

" I am in " she replied back

" Go and freshen up and I will see to it that the old man allows us to go out"

Steve stood up and went to meet Dr Palsy for permission to go out while Sonia went to freshen up. From where she was, she could hear Dr Palsy loud and angry rebukes and Steve loud laughter. Sonia chuckled feeling amused about Dr Palsy and Steve interactions.

" c'mon old man, it just a small walk to the marketplace. you know I have never gone out of my home since I was little, just this once" Steve tried to persuade the old man to allow them to go out to the marketplace.

"Mr Palsy, you look good" Sonia said while flashing him a cute smile which seems to work on men alot and sure enough, Dr Palsy allowed them to go out after seeing Sonia's smile.

" You must come back here before 12pm to take your pills.Wait take this pills before going out when you find a breakfast stall, make sure to take your breakfast and don't stress yourself too much and make sure to come back on time" Dr Palsy reminded them and watched them leave with a mysterious look on his face.

Steve and Sonia dressed in peasant clothes walked the streets of Alvania marketplace. Sonia was shocked by the many strange things she saw. This was her first time in the marketplace and her adventurous spirit was awoken while Steve on the other hand was secretly shocked and at how destitute the capital market had become. While one of them thought the capital was awesome, the other thought it was lacking.
