Selene sat straighter and spoke calmly.
"We'll test the grain. Once we've confirmed the results, we'll propose a price."
The testers stepped forward and carefully collected the Tier 1 Vitality Grain. They ran a few scans, then one of them looked up.
"These are quite potent. Full testing will take some time."
Selene didn't seem bothered. She smiled slightly and turned to Isaac.
"That's fine. In the meantime... do you have anything interesting to do?"
Isaac caught her meaning.
She was more than capable of carrying on conversation to pass the time, but it was clear by the way she phrased that question that she was of asking him if he could show her around.
Isaac nodded. "Would you like to see the fields? It's nearly time to harvest anyway."
"Sounds good," Selene replied.
They made their way outside.
The sun had climbed high by now.
Alice followed a few steps behind.
As they reached the rows of crops, Alice finally spoke up. "How long do these crops take to grow?"
