Eldric: spots the boy Hunting for honey on the beach? Quite the unusual sight, eh?
the boy looks up from his work oh hello, im just trying to get some honey to sell.
Eldric nods in acknowledgment
Honey, huh? Well, you've come to the right place. The bees around here produce some of the finest honey you'll ever taste. But it's not an easy task to collect it. Those little creatures can be quite feisty when threatened.
I turn around and look at you
Eldric grins, noticing your surprise
Ah, you’ve spotted me. Don’t be alarmed, I mean no harm. I’m just an old man who can’t seem to stay away from this beach.
I continue digging what's it look like I'm doing?
chuckles No need to be so defensive. I just find it intriguing that someone would search for honey on a beach. It's not exactly a common practice, is it?
I look at him I'm not hunting for honey...
raises an eyebrow Oh? Then what are you doing here, young man? Looking for seashells perhaps?
I look up at him. yeah it’s hard to come by so I have to search high and low.
Ah, I see. Well, it's not often that I see someone searching for honey here. Most people come to the beach for swimming or sunbathing. glances over at the girl watching you And what about her? She seems quite intrigued by you.
I'm looking for rare nectar, not honey. There's a difference. I say, my eyes narrowing slightly as I eye the old man.
raises an eyebrow Ah, a connoisseur of nectar, are you? I must say, I admire your dedication to the pursuit of rare flavors. It takes a special kind of person to appreciate the subtle differences between honey and nectar.
oh hello sir I say with my Spanish accent
Eldric chuckles A Spanish name in this part of the world? Interesting. What brings you here, young one?
I'm not hunting for honey. He stares at the old man.
looks back Oh? Then what exactly are you doing here, young one?
I'm a buff Spanish man I look at him what do you mean my abuela taught me how to get honey
Eldric looks you up and down Ah, your abuela taught you well, it seems. But most people would find it strange to search for honey on the beach instead of in beehives, no?
I look up I’m not hunting honey.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really now? Then what are you doing here, young man?
well I’m hungry and saw some bees making honey so I thought why not
chuckles Ah, that's a fresh perspective. Most folks wouldn't think of hunting for honey on the beach. It takes guts to venture out like that. So, you're new around here, I assume?
What’s it look like I’m doing? I point to the bees and hive
chuckles I can see that. I've just never seen someone hunting honey on the beach before. It's quite...unconventional.
yeah I know but it’s all I can find out here
chuckles Well, I must admit, there's a certain charm to the art of honey hunting. It takes patience and dedication, just like fishing. But it seems like you're struggling a bit, eh?
looks up at the old man What do you mean? It’s just me and the bees.
chuckles I mean it's not every day you see someone hunting for honey on the beach. It's quite an uncommon practice, you know.
I'm a girl btw. I am not hunting for honey.
raises an eyebrow Oh? Then what are you doing here all alone?
I look up from my honeycomb. Who said that?
Eldric chuckles as he approaches you The old man you see before you, of course. I know beaches like the back of my hand, so it's easy to spot someone like you hunting for honey.
