Arriving at the student market again, Erin walked around the stalls for the forger she usually went to, only to not find her.
"Who are you looking for?" Layla asked.
Not responding, Erin was trying to recall how to find this one person. Then she remembered that there was something Asahi mentioned once, as well as a name listed on her delivery box.
There was another person she worked with.
'What was his name? Ashley? Eslex? Aleakes? Asa…hi? Did both of their names really start with an A?' Erin contemplated.
Shaking her head, Erin kept her ears perked, until she heard a pair of voices speaking on the other side of the hall.
"Thanks for manning the shop today," A boy said.
"Just let me have a time where I get to forge, Alex," Asahi's voice replied, "I haven't picked up a hammer in a week."
"It's been two days, and you picked up that hammer for me this morning," The boy, now named Alex, corrected.
