Her first shopping trip.

[Next day]

Demon and Aster were ready to leave with Hisha and try to ride the carriage and slowly let her get used to means of transportation.

"Hisha!"

She looked at it but didn't like it at all.

Aster stepped in first, because she looked up to him they thought that her hesitation would be less.

She looked inside and it looked comfortable, but the space was very small.

She climbed inside and Demon fallowed after.

She sat down but as soon as it moved she was on the floor shaking and it was so bad she threw up on the floor.

"Could it be?"

"It is possible, let's stop the carriage."

Demon told the driver to stop.

The coachman came up to them and saw the girl shaking. "Once she had calmed down, we could try and have her sit next to me so she can see what's going on."

"It's worth a try."

Aster took her out and showed her how far she got. "Hisha, you did better than me when I was riding a carriage for the first time."

She looked at Aster.

"He is right, he didn't make it of the mansions ground, when he threw up."

"You made it 500 meters from the mansion before you threw up, so you beat your brother by 700 meters."

She had calmed down and wanted to try again.

"Are you sure?"

'Yes.'

"Miss, if the space in the carriage is a problem you can sit next to me, while it is not as comfortable you can see more."

She then looked at her father. "While it is not a normal thing to do, if it helps you to get used to it then it's fine."

Aster already had used magic to clean the inside.

"Hisha, getting used to things can only be done at your own pace."

She then went to the coachman and he put her up front.

"Miss, if you don't feel good let me know I stop right away."

'Yes.'

Demon and Aster went back in and sat down.

"Are you ready little miss?"

She nodded and the coachman urged the horses

While sitting in the front and she started to enjoy it and got used to the shaking of the carriage.

They made it in to town but she suddenly told the coachman to stop.

"What's wrong?"

'To many…'

The coachman didn't think twice and got her from his seat and put her inside.

"She has trouble with the crowd."

"Little miss just stay inside and I promise I won't make it move."

After a few minutes she was calm.

"Hisha I'll carry you so you don't feel crowded."

'How?'

Demon got out of the carriage and put her on his shoulder. "Like this."

She could now see over all the people and it felt less crowded to her.

Aster told the coachman to wait for them near the city wall.

As they went through town she was very happy.

They go to the store where they made stuffed animal and place an order for her teddy bear.

They got her some foods to try and bought a lot of sweets.

As they went on with the shopping she started to walk around and even though it was still crowded she got used to it.

They stopped at the fountain on the square and eat something sweet.

"Hisha, your birthday is coming soon, is there something you want as a present?"

"Father knows when Hisha is born?"

"Of course I do, it's an important day to any parent when his child is born."

"Then what about Aster?"

"Well Hisha remember there were a lot of strange people 2 weeks back and we asked you to visit aunt Sha and stay in the forest for a day?"

'Yes.'

"That day was my birthday."

She looked sad because she didn't know and had to hide and didn't give him a gift.

"What's wrong Hisha?"

'It's not fair, I get gifts from you, but I couldn't give you one.'

Aster picked her up and hugged her. "But you already gave me one, and that is more precious than anything in the world."

'And what was that?'

"You."

She looked at him not understanding.

"The day we found you and you start living with us again, that is the best present I could ever get."

'But that was many, many days before your birth day.'

"I just got my birthday present very, very early that's all."

'Then what about father?'

"My birthday is 3 weeks before the day we found you."

'That means Hisha has to hid again.'

"Well, you don't have to hide, we asked you to visit aunt Sha because we saw how stressed you were because of the unfamiliar people and seeing you today you are not very good with crowed spaces."

'So you hid me because you worry for me?'

"We did, because to us it's important you feel safe."

'Hisha understands, but are those strangers also coming to my birthday?'

"No they won't come because they don't know you."

'And what about the group of strangers that was with evil yesterday.'

"Well they are your family, but since you only saw them once…if you don't want them to come than we don't invite them." Aster told her.

"Your brother is right, we can celebrate just the 3 of us."

'I don't know…how many days before Hisha's birthday?'

"There are still 100 days left."

"By the way Hisha why did you close the hole under the apple tree?" Aster asked her.

'Hisha has a new home, father worries for Hisha so Hisha promised father to stay in the glass box.'

"But that was because of the cold, it's warm now so you can live in your hole if you want." Demon told her.

'But Hisha likes glass box.'

"You do?"

'Hmm, it's warm, has a pleasant smell and I can see you coming and you can see me.'

Both man smiled and patted her on the head. She smiled because she knew she did and said something good.
