100 I can tell how you really feel

Aksel and Nattlys wandered around the Main Street, looking in the windows of shops and Aksel took the time to taste different meats that vendors were selling. 

The whole town was self sufficient. Everything was bought and sold right here. The streets were made of large cement squares and the strange flowing water ran between the cracks. No one drove cars-Everything was within walking distance. 

Nattlys went into an herb shop and began looking around and picking up bottles to smell them. The shop lady smiled at them and continued grinding some herbs as she seemed to be counting the amount of times she did it. She finished and added a few more ingredients before she poured some liquid in and the whole thing dissolved instantly, turning into a irradescent silver liquid.

"Strange." Aksel said as she did this. "If it's just going to dissolve then why would she grind it first?"
