On the Board
Checking over the quest board, a new listing catches your eye. It's handwritten, in neat but pretty handwriting on vaguely green tinted stationary, which is printed at the bottom with a familiar logo. Curious, you read the message...
"Hello! As winter is in full swing, I find myself with a bit more free time than usual. After all, Herbologist's Delight isn't quite as busy when all of the plants are in torpor! Every year I do my best to make a fresh batch of seasonal cookies to try and help people stay cheerful through this dreary season, but... well, my speed isn't what it used to be! I would appreciate an extra set of hands around the shop to help me bake, and I'll make sure you get to have some of the extras. Sincerely, Alura. "
Interesting! It sounds like the shopkeep of Herbologist's Delight needs some help this year, and while it's not necessarily paid, you're pretty sure you'd enjoy what she's offering..."
In Order to Succeed: Help Alura out with her baking! You can't imagine that's very hard- almost everyone's baked a cookie at some point, right?
Prize: From the sounds of it, it looks like you'll be getting some delicious baked goods as a reward... along with the usual quest points, of course.
Challenge Rating: Very Easy

Oh, what a fun idea! Ashe liked Alura well enough as it was, and enjoyed the cookies she baked and handed out in her shop, and now there was a quest specifically to bake cookies with her? He could manage that! Spend some time with the lady, maybe flirt his way into a discount when he shopped there later... With him, he brought his newly hatched Tat-Lung, a little green and black fish. He hadn't even thought of a proper name for it yet, let alone figuring out its gender. He was referring to it as a she, because most water-type things were "she"s. Like ships, especially. And Alaska... So he, out of habit, continued the tradition.
He had his new little fish in a large fish bowl when he arrived at Alura's place. The fish was pretty chill, taking everything in, practically glued to the side of the tank as she - it - looked around. Ashe knocked on the door to announce his arrival, then he walked in - because it was a shop, after all. Not exactly the same as someone's private residence.
"Alura! How wonderful to see you again!"
