Thud! Aella put the water bucket beside the oven and looked toward Tina, "How is it?"
"It's almost done. Can you bring me the garlic?" She replied with a smile, looking back as her breath left a trail in the frigid air.
"Ah! We're out of that." Aella gasped, "Hold for a few minutes, I will bring some." She turned to leave.
"Wait! You don't need to go all the way to the city. We can do without it." Tina called her, almost spilling the soup from the large iron pot.
TAP! TAP! Aella stopped just before opening the door, "I did smell some in the village. I bet one has some."
"You're going to ask for it? Garlic is expensive, you know?" Tina approached the window. She opened it, letting the fresh air in and the smoke out. "What about Master Arad? Won't he have some in his stomach?"
"Probably not. But I can always find some in the forest." Aella opened the door and rushed out.
