The sound of two feet would stomp through the muddy fields of Hargeon, as Vee would make her way towards the farm in question. The guild had gotten a lot of odd jobs instead of missions recently due to the larger, more pressing matters taking up attention from people. It made testing things and practicing magic a lot easier, as the girl would carry a wobbling and eager looking Nuruli as she came to be standing before the entrance to the household. "Alright, Nuruli. Your first mission. Just try not to eat anything and be on your best behavior, alright?" The slime bubble in response as a middle aged man with a white beard and short hair would answer the door. "You the mage that the guild sent over?" he asked. Vee would nod her head, smiling as Nuruli would remain comfortable as could be inside of her jacket. "That's us! I'm Vee and this is Nuruli. We're happy to help out!" The man gave them the grand tour of the place and would show them the fields that would need to be planted for the upcoming season. As the trio headed into the barn, Nuruli dipped into the side bag and fell in face first into the seeds. She quivered and would bounce out, bubbling about as she'd work on getting the residual seeds out of her slime body. Vee hoisted her sleeves up and would pick the bag up while looking down at her helper. A soft chuckle escaped her lips as she walked along. "You might need to wait awhile before you can eat what the seeds are gunna make, Nuruli. C'mon, daytime's burning!"
It was pretty rough work for being an intern, way outside of her job description, but it did beat staying back in Motor City and kicking rocks in the alleyways. An hour in and she could already feel the sweat budding on her forehead. Her arms would toil away and make the indentations needed to separate each column of crops across the fields. Nuruli helped and would even out any kind of irregularities that might have arisen because of Vee's handiwork. After half the day was spent creating the rows, then come the easier part. The two walked alongside the rows and would carefully beginning planting each seed away from one another for the crops to grow enough space apart as to not threaten to overgrow any of its neighbors. Vee's slime companion bounced along with a smaller bag of seed and would take turns shaking the seeds around her as the human walked behind her in the distance and remained focused on patting down the soil present. "Slow down, Nuru, jeez. You're trying to plant a forest just bouncing wildly like that." The slime bubbled along and deposited more seed into the dirt as Vee sighed. Sometimes that little slime tested her. Was this was being a mom was like? The two ended up finishing sooner or later, and they packed up their things, accepted payment and went on to report their successful mission.
