It’s mid-morning by the time Oliver shows up on Nora’s doorstep. He hadn’t expected anything to be difficult to find for this batch of ingredients, but the normal seller for the poppies was running low and he’d had to find a secondary source.
As a result, he was grumpy and shifting from foot to foot as he knocked a random pattern into the door. Only a few seconds passed before he huffed and tapped again. The moment the door opened he burst into a rant that had clearly been simmering a long time.
“Humans are the most annoying creatures - no rudeness to you. I had to argue with the woman for this barley for half an hour! She clearly did not need it, she had three other bags. Selfish wretch... Why do they do this, Nora, I do not understand why they choose to be so frustrating.” There was only a brief pause before he blinked and held out the parcels with a smile. “Here you go! May I see what you do with them?”
