The previous few months had so many quests available that were very simple and fun to spend time with Shahrazad doing that Badrani actually found herself quite excited whenever she had woken up the morning of Shahrazad's next visit. She wakes, prepares and packs a pair of lunches, and then she sets out for one of the several entrances into the city. Specifically, Badrani went out to one of the gates that was the closest to the Canyon of Eterra's direction since that was the area that Shahrazad was journeying from.
Shahrazad was a little early this time, and Badrani meets her along the way. She grins at the Draconic happily, and gives her a quick head-bonk in greeting. "Are you ready to see what sort of quest we are in for this month?" She couldn't help but be excited. For once, her excitement matches that of her adventurous Draconic partner.[1]

Shahrazad was a little worried about Badrani at that. After jokingly asking if the older Ssashirk was ill, and receiving a playful push at the shoulder over it, the two set off to the Quest Board. Badrani carries the bundled up packed lunches beneath one arm at the elbow as they walked. There had indeed been snow a couple of months ago, and now it was instead 'spring' and threatening to rain. Badrani really did find that she could get used to all of this water. It was such an odd thing to her- she felt like it would forever remain novel.
There were quite a few people on the street, and Badrani tried to take them on a path that would keep them from having to deal with staring and prying strangers. As such it takes them a little bit longer to get to the Quest Board than the Ssashirk would have liked. Hopefully they'd find a simple task regardless of being a little late!

There was another individual at the Quest Board. Because of that, Badrani and Shahrazad hung back for a moment to wait for them to make a selection and then pass them on by. Badrani was always worried that Shahrazad was going to be attacked by someone that disliked Draconic individuals. It was a real concern, but thankfully they had not had to deal with that eventuality quite yet. Whenever the other person had left the area, Badrani and Shahrazad walk up to the quest to see if there was anything left for them. The most easy one to read was immediately picked up off of the board by the Ssashirk. "Bugs... Are... Eating all the... Berries." Oh, so it was another like that one, right? She looks over at Shahrazad with an apologetic smile.
"Another merchant needs help. This time with Bugs..."
"Again?"
Badrani nods. "That time though, it was not a merchant."

Perhaps with any luck, the second time dealing with a bug infestation would be the charm? Shahrazad seemed apprehensive, especially since the last 'failure' was technically her fault and all... At least she viewed it that way. It had been here idea to use a sandstorm to scour the bugs from the plants. It had technically worked! Badrani just waves Shahrazad on over. "I've walked past this shop as well." She admits, after looking at the address. "Never went in though." She specifies. She really hadn't been to many shops at all. She did remember checking out some books when she'd first gotten to the Labs City though.
They make it to the Nature's Bounty after another sort of long walk, and then they immediately were put to the task after the Merchant greeted them with 'Ah, you must be the ones here for the bugs- this way this way!'
At least he had an idea as to how to kill the bugs, and just didn't have time to do it.

There were others there as well, at the shop trying to rid the berry bushes of pests. This Merchant had a shop to run and just didn't have time to do it himself, but he did provide some bug killing spray that was apparently edible by people. It smelled very spicy and actually seemed like it would be pretty tasty to Badrani! The pair of them worked together, Shahrazad finding the bushes that hadn't been sprayed yet with her keen eyes, and Badrani using her hands to spray them down with the spicy bug-killing spray. They made quick work of a full section and started on another before the first of the other helpers left. They took on three of the sections by theirselves before the entire process was done. That was a lot of berry bushes!
The pair talked about the bugs on the way home. Badrani had never seen bugs like those before... They hardly seemed natural.
