Alicia listened and nodded as Mareth spoke, thinking for a bit.  "Well, I can certainly run the shop fine while you're out, but unfortunately my duties at the temple have to come first.  I'm usually only busy until about noon or so, then I can be over here, either running the shop or helping make more potions.  And yes, I would like to learn how to brew my own potions."  She smiled a bit and added, "You're such a nice person Mareth, always willing to help me out if I need it.  I'm not sure why... why you never come to the temple," she said, sounding a bit flustered as she spoke, enough to make the last second change to what she was saying almost painfully obvious.
