The old woman looked like she wanted to decline their help, but her back reminded her of the pain from being on her knees and trying to pick the berries for herself.
"Ah… I'm lucky to run into youngsters as kind as you folk."
"It's no problem, miss. I'm sure anyone around here would stop to help you out."
The elderly woman let out a little chuckle when she heard Ember's words.
"Hoho, miss? I fear I'm a bit too old to be called that."
"No such thing, miss. Someone who can maintain their beauty as well as you deserves the title."
The elderly woman laughed again, her opinion of the group helping her improving even further.
Ember, Elric, and Ryan both got down and started picking berries, but Eria and Lace both looked like they'd had enough of the straw poking into their legs. Eria's eyes focused in on a small pin on the elderly woman's shirt, and she walked over to chat with her.
"Is that a Tens Award pin?"
