As usual, he had a long night, but he woke up at 9 AM anyway. He was groggy, but slowly, he was getting used to it, knowing why he must. With a flick of his wrist, the coffee on his night stand shot towards him and he grabbed it instinctually and drank it, reeling back a little due to its staleness. "I should probably make more" he thought, drinking it again anyway. He stood up and walked towards his desk with his mug of stale coffee in hand, and started on some work he delayed to now. Only a few words were studied before he perked up and thought "Molly!"
A snap of his fingers later and his robe was on his body and was out the door, hoping to make his way to the countryside, but not making it far before seeing the girl of his dreams walk towards him, holding a cup of steaming hot coffee that he knew was coming for him.
"I am very happy to see you", he said as she gave him the coffee.
"Are you talking to the coffee or to me?"
"Both."
He sipped that coffee, happy to taste something that wasn't a day old, left out after a long night of exploring the cosmos. He looked towards Molly, and she to him. He loved the color of her hair, like a warm chestnut, and her eyes like fine mahogany. Molly's lips creased to make a warm smile, and her body started to sway in motion side-to-side. He may be a wizard, but he didn't need magic to know she wanted to tell him something. "Was there something else you wanted?" he asked, knowing perfectly well there was something.
"Well… I found this in Fugue Forest, and I was wondering if it was anything special…" she proceeded to search her rucksack in search of the mystery item, and pulled out something he desperately needed.
"That's…" he exclaimed, taken aback from the wonder and shock that she could even know of such a thing, "that's a Fugue Mushroom." The farmer handed it to the wizard, feeling like he could need it. "But how did you…" he couldn't even bring himself to finish the sentence. "I was in the forest searching for mushrooms to ship, and I found it and thought of you. It felt like something important." His mouth was agape with wonder and happiness. He knew these were rare, and that she of all people could see it was incredible. He knew she was something special…
The wonder disappeared as he saw a black shadow fly by. She looked towards where he was staring and asked "What are you looking at?" He realized he accidentally made her worry, possibly about nothing. What he saw were a part of forces that she could not understand, so he told her "I thought I saw something… but it might be that I just woke up." She nodded in understanding and told him "Well, goodbye then. I'll see you later." She turned to return to the farm, but he yelled, "Wait!" She turned her head and he said in complete sincerity, "Thank you… this means a lot." The farmer blushed and smiled, and the wizard saw a twinkle in her eye before she turned back. When she got far enough, he whispered "Why can't I bring myself to ask?"
