~ "Feeling Better?" ~
Seth awoke the next morning with a headache. He walked outside and grabbed a fern from the behind of his barn. Eating it, he took his watering can out of his sack and watered the few crops he had.
Fiona the cow was sick. Seth didn't seem to have Animal Medicine for her, and he couldn't afford any until he sold something to get him that much.
"I'm sorry, Fiona," he muttered. "I don't have enough money."
Fiona mooed in a way that sounded like she could take it.
"Thats my Fiona," Seth said.

Celia was awake early that day. Stepping outside, she grabbed the watering can from the shed, filled it, and began to water the crop fields. It took a while, but it was sure worth it. Now she didn't have to work in the hot sun, as it was nearing summer.
Sighing, she walked over to the river and sat gazing into the crystal clear water. She didn't know if anyone else was up at this time yet. She checked her watch. It said "5:57."
She looked up at Seth's farm. 'Maybe Seth is up...' she thought.
Standing, she slowly made her way to the farm.
---
Seth emerged from the chicken coop, carrying two eggs. He put them in the shipment box, then left the food storage to see Celia.
"Hey, Seth..." she said.
Seth turned away. "Celia... hi."
"Do you feel any better?" she asked.
"Well, I woke with a headache," Seth said. "But I feel kinda better now. But then I found out my cow is sick."
"Thats too bad..." Celia said.
"Yes," Seth agreed. "But I'm nearing enough money to afford Medicine, so she'll be okay. She's a strong cow."
"So I've heard," Celia said. "Didn't you make a fortune out of her milk?"
"I'm trying not to remember what I've lost," Seth said. "I still... you know, haven't gotten over it."
"Oh... my bad," Celia said.
"Its no problem," Seth said.
They stood facing each other in silence.
"Well," Seth said, scratching the back of his head. "I'd better get back inside. See you around, Celia. Nice talking to you again."
"Yeah... you too."
---
It was now daylight. Celia was in town looking at the small crop field by the Inner Inn, when Doctor Hardy walked over to her.
"Did you talk to him?" he asked.
Celia nodded.
"What did he say?"
"He seemed to be feeling better," she explained. "But not quite over it."
"Ah," Hardy said. "So, he didn't snap at you or any of the sort?"
Celia shook her head slowly. "No."
"Good," Hardy said, taking notes. "An Improvement. Maybe I'll ask him about this when he visits Takakura."
"Don't go too overboard with the questions, now," Celia said. "He isn't completely over it, it might affect him or make him mad."
"Got it," Hardy said. Muttering to himself, he walked back into his house.
