For her part, Alicia was a very quick and attentive learner, easily picking up the finer points of running the shop, and even doing decently with making potions, though it was clear she would need much more practice before she could make anything on her own.  Taking payment from customers was something she understood right away, though with her working in the temple and likely accepting donations, it was hardly surprising.  The girl seemed to not notice any of Mareth's advances, though whether that was because she was simply pretending not to notice, or if Mareth's actions were too subtle for her, was hard to tell.  Eventually, as the sun began to set, Alicia packed up her belongings to head back to the temple.  "Thanks for all the help, Mareth.  I don't think I'll be over as early tomorrow, but I'd like to continue when I can make it again."
