The man hangs around the girls while they are working and helps when they ask for his assistance, until the sun starts setting and the whole village sheds a new color.
Apothecary: Ok, that's everything. I think we all deserve a break before anyone hurt themselves during the festival.
Apprentice: The ceremony is about to begin right? Shouldn't we go early?
Apothecary: I mean, if you want a good view, it's already too late. But maybe there is a chance.
Apprentice: I can watch over this place while you show him around the festival.
Apothecary: That's sweet of you, but you always looking forward to this festival.
Apprentice: I've been experiencing it for all my life, missing it once won't affect me much. Besides, if he got to experience the festival, our village might get more travelers like him.
Man:...
Apothecary: hehe, yeah, he will return after experiencing the festival.
Apprentice: That's amazing. Umm, will you finally put on your festival outfit?
Apothecary: We spoke about this before, I will probably have many people to tend to during and after the festival, so can't wear that outfit.
Apprentice: Don't worry, you and I are kind of equal in this department. Your reason for training me was so I can take care of patients, while you are out to find herbs.
"And all of that training come to fruition, after what happened to you yesterday."
Apothecary: Exploiting your Master's downfall is not a good quality.
Apprentice: Please, you work yourself all year, take a break once, please.
Apothecary: *sigh* I get it, I get it. This will be your reward for working so hard... I hope it's not too loose.
Apprentice: Oh don't worry, I made sure to bring it to the tailor and have it fit your size.
Man:...
Apothecary:...
Apprentice: What?
Apothecary: That's quite weird, for your standard.
Apprentice: No, I use the measurement of your health checkup to see if the outfit still fits you. Plus you leave it here and never bring it home for some reason.
Apothecary: Well, this is my home too... but thank you, I'll go change now.
*Go up to one of the upstairs rooms*
Apprentice: It will take a bit, why don't sit down?
Man:...
Apprentice:...
Quick footsteps ran down the stairs, and the apothecary appeared in a whole different outfit, that still had some of the style of her previous outfit.
Apothecary: I'm done.
Apprentice: That's fast!?
Apothecary: I don't like the cold after a bath, so changing clothes quickly has become one of my talents... So how do look?
Apprentice: You look amazing!
Man: *hand gesture so-so*
Apothecary: Above average and without make-up, I'll take it.
*Grab the man's hand*
"We'll be going now."
Apprentice: You two have fun.
