On second thought, you figure that while you are in a town, you still have the opportunity to put your zen to use. You suggest looking for a shop that might sell medicine, or at least some herbal ingredients for Moonflower's alchemy.

Moonflower: "Ohh, that's right!"

Tsu-Ko: "That sounds like the teahouse. Come this way..."

As you follow your guide southward along the stone-paved road, you decide to pen another quick report to Twilight Sparkle. Holding your quill and scroll in your magic grasp, you take a moment to write about your recent success in your search for Elven knowledge.

Now, with both of your voyages swiftly handled, you let your guildmaster know that you have also been making progress on a personal quest related to the late King Empyrius, and that you intend to continue pursuing this lead before returning to Equestria.

You use Blank Scroll.

Once the scroll is rolled and tied up, you hold it skyward, then blow into your sealwhistle. This time, a seagull swoops down and grabs the mail in its beak. It then flies off toward the ocean, though you immediately lose sight of the bird behind a thick wall of sunlit bamboo.

Soon, you arrive at the teahouse, and enter the humble establishment. Various dried herbs hang along the walls of the shop, and countless pots and boxes of all sizes fill the shelves — each labelled in Kirinese. Fortunately, the shopkeeper appears eager to tell you all about them.

Shopkeeper: "Welcome! Have a joyous visit! Let me know if you need anything."
