Being trapped within a magical sphere can be tough sometimes, there are many things that you just can't grow or create. Medicines & medical supplies, engineering materials, tools, the list goes on. Fortunately for the household one individual has the ability to leave the sphere without consequence, that individual being Frollo, who takes what all extra the house has to offer to the local trading market just outside the forest border. A place where those with no money can trade whatever they have for whatever they need, what all you might be looking for the market pulls together to provide. This slice of heaven is also home to some of Frollo's closest comrades outside the sphere, David & Ester Finch, who's family throughout the 527 years of knowing Claude has provided for him more than any other. If he's looking for something specific, David gladly takes personal orders from him regardless of if it's food or something else, if there's information he needs, Ester keeps him up to date on all who come & go there, & what all changes. Like them getting a new employee.
Not only do they go out of their way for Frollo in regard to trading, but they also provide a safe place for him to be, well, Frollo. Unsurprisingly, people still hate Frollo on the outside regardless of how much time has passed. He has to take extreme precautions as to not be seen for he can only imagine what would become of him if he were discovered. And knowing that Frollo is his family's only source to the outside world, David & Ester do all that they can to keep his existence a secret, even to the nosiest of market owners. (Cosmo: I know it's been a LONG time since I've posted anything about the au that I have so here's SOMETHING to share with you, if you stars have follow up questions feel free to ask in the comments, I'm not entirely sure if or when I'll be opening the ask box again so we'll just have to be patient. Thank you all for reading! 😄✨)
