she never had favorite customers. Everyone ment the same to her. And every price ment the same. She believed her prices were very fair, considering she creates her maps and markers by hand.

Though there was someone who always had her heart thumping. You. You have purchased almost every map and marker from her. Without complaints about prices either. You always had your rosaries on hand. Always the exact amount.

She admired that. You were able to find her whenever you needed something. But sometimes, you wouldn't find her just to buy from her. Sometimes you just wanted someone to talk to in the Marrows, or in Bellhart. She enjoyed the company, to say the least.

She felt bad though. She had raised her prices by ten rosaries. One day you showed up and asked for the map of Haunted Bellhart. She gladly extended her hand for a payment of 70 rosaries.

She saw the way your face dropped. You shook your head and awkwardly laughed. Explaining how you were ten beads short. See, when raising her prices, she never thought that YOU wouldn't be able to pay...you were always able to splurge.

But that day, you left with nothing. And it left Shakra's heart in pieces. How blind could she be? Not everyone is made of beads. They're rare to come by these days as well! Why on earth would one pay 70 rosaries for a singular map? Handmade or not.

That's when she realized, she needed to treat you like the valued customer you are.

Finding her North, you came prepared with a better amount of rosaries. Shakra's eyes widened and she stopped her singing when she saw you come back.

"Ponshunka! Edges sharp and senses keen!....you are back..."

She looked down apon you, taking out the map that you had come to get the day before but left without. As you dropped your 70 rosaries into her hand, she shook her head.

"Not today warrior from below. A discount will be given to you for all of your business-"

Shakra gives you 30 of your rosaries back. Her head bowed in respect of you.

"I was foolish to charge you extra, last time. I apologize, neatly dressed warrior."
