Although pleased to have returned to the realm to visit her family, Teama was being asked to do an awful lot of stuff for them. She was rather disappointed that her sister NonaMay had not been about at all, visiting her side of the family in a more remote region. Although while being home Teama had been concerned as her father had been very depressed. It wasn't until last night that she realised why after finding him looking at a picture of his deceased wife before he got back together with her mother, NonaMay's mother. It was the anniversary of her death soon and because of that she decided to do everything she could to help make make him smile.
Having been asked to go into a nearby town to get some shopping. However browsing through the market she was hoping to find a gift that would help cheer him up.
"I guess he might like one of those swords, but mum would complain any time he pulls it out. Last time he played with a sword she decided to play the evil dragon role and his sword got wrecked. ooh, those mugs at that stall look well made, but that's kind of a standard 'fathers present'. There has to be something that he'll like."
Jumping from stall to stall of the market, she was paying less and less attention to the people around her and the shopping she was meant to be doing. It was now she was starting to wish NonaMay or her mum was free to join her. Being away from home for a while she had no idea if her dad had been interested in anything unique recently or if there was a passing fad of his that would work.
