The next morning at breakfast Alayna received an answer she thought she will be waiting for a while before receiving it.
"I want to become an alchemist and farmer," Olinda shyly said.
In her own head, she felt as if she was asking for so much but she knows that keeping silent cannot bring anything to the table. It was better to say it out like this even if she gets denied in the end.
Alayna wasn't expecting to hear such an answer. Olinda is a girl and to be honest, farming is very hard and Alayna didn't even like it. Her garden was small and luckily some kids helped her with that.
If a small garden was trouble, how could she even deal with a farm?
"Darling, are you sure you want to be a farmer? You know how hard it is right?" Alayna wanted to make sure as being an alchemist was no big deal.
It didn't mean that an alchemist needs to plant his/her own herbs. They can still buy from others and still concoct pills.
