After making her purchase, Daisy strolls back to the bench she was sitting on before. Lost in her own thoughts, she ends up bumping into someone. Daisy apologizes and quickly helps the woman pick up the dropped grocery bags.

"It's fine. I wasn't watching where I was going", the woman responds calmly.

"Neither was I", Daisy admits.

"You sound familiar...", says the woman.

Daisy freezes in shock. She looks up and finally takes a good look at the woman. She had yellowish-green hair, tanned skin and faded yellow eyes. No wonder she watching where she was going, Daisy thinks to herself, knowing full well that the faded eye colour is a sign of blindness.

"I don't think that we've ever met", Daisy retorts.

"Your princess Daisy, aren't you?", the woman asks in a hushed voice.

While still shocked, Daisy appreciates the woman asking in more of a whisper.

"What's it to you?", Daisy asks filled with suspicion.

"You're close to king Billy, aren't you? He certainly mentions you quite a bit", the woman stands up again, now that both grocery bags are back in her hand. Daisy follows her lead.
