Walking out of the luscious green forest, a worn-out man dressed in a straw hat and a long black apron enters the beautiful city gates of Catopia.

Making his way through to the darkening gate of the capital of Captopia, with a full basket of freshly picked herbs. He was cheerful and tired after a long day of foraging for herbs from the forest. Caspian was now making his way back home to refresh himself with a cup of tea.

Caspian was a beautiful man with honey-like eyes, black hair, a skinny figure, and fair skin. But even without his looks, he has many attractive traits, one being that he was a cat lover which in the world of Poneko was a very common thing.

After a while of walking through the crowded streets on his way home, Caspian bumps into his best friend, Adam. Adam is a tall muscular tan young man carrying a spear on his back. He was a very kindhearted soul, which made Caspian and he get along quite well.

“Hey Caspian, how are you doing man?” says Adam, noticing the basket that Caspian was holding with a contagious smile on his face.

“I’m doing amazing! I’m just about to head back home and brew up some tea, did you want to join me?”

Adam proceeds to give a thumbs up and they both make their way to his house, having a casual conversation about their day.

Making his way to the door of the sectioned-off storefront they entered inside. There were two eye-catching features inside, the wall of a wooden Pharmacy Cabinet filled with boxes of herbs all labeled. And a large receptionist-styled desk made of very nice dark-walnut wood.

Caspian made his way to his dropoff box, placing down his newly picked herbs in it. Caspian then walked over to a nearby ladder and climbed up a bit to find a box labeled Mispi tea. He then took out a jar and proceeded to collect the dried tea leaves from the box.

Making his way down the ladder after filling the jar to the bim he walks over to Adam who was messing around with a book on the receptionist's desk.

“Did you feel like Mispi Tea Adam?” Said Caspian.

Adam proceeded to nod, thus they both then traveled to the back of the shop heading for Caspian's apartment, they then went upstairs entering his abode.

Adam starts to help Caspian as he moves to the backroom where they will start to brew the tea. After getting it set Adam said something that made the usually calm and collective Caspian stop for a second, “So Caspian when are you getting a girl? We’ve been friends for so long but all you do is either study your herbalist books or make tea!”

Adam, who has also been single for a while, was very annoyed to see his good friend alone every day.

“I’ve been very busy Adam, I don't have time to goof off,” Caspian was very annoyed by his friend's constant reminders to get girls together as he was a very busy guy.

Last year was like hell for Caspian as there was a very deadly disease that was spreading around the capital. The Cat scratch pandemic just ended, and the constant shortage of herbs was only now being replenished by him. Caspian is one of the only two herbalists in the city, which made him stuck with a lot of medicine to refine and herbs to scavenge.

After those days and nights of grinding herbs down and brewing up lots and lots of tea to help him diligently work. He had only recently had time to read some books and relax a bit.

“Caspian, man, come on! At least tomorrow can we go down to Rosemarie’s Café? Also, they have a lot of new kittens down there which I know you will love!” Hearing the words kittens and tea sounded incredible to Caspian.

“Okay, I will take a break from work tomorrow and we can head down to the Café! That sounds like an amazing plan, Adam!”

They both continued to talk about Adam's failed attempts at getting the local girls until sunset and then Adam headed home for the night.

After saying his farewell to Adam and closing up the shop he made it back to the second floor, he threw himself onto his bed where he lay down thinking of the cafè and the fun time he had with Adam.

After a long night and a very deep sleep, Caspian woke up feeling very energized and went into his daily routine. He started his day by going to freshen up in the bathroom, Caspian then made some breakfast and tea.
