The woman was short, an looked like she should be too old to be still living. Dirt and grim clung to her everywhere. She was short, hunched with a crooked nose. Her hair was dirty, tangled, and messy. She held a walking cane in hand and walked unsteadily.
"Can you help us?"
"You must find blue rose for baba!"
"What! there's no such as a blue rose," Marina said to the old woman.
"Bring baba blue rose, baba will help, after you bring blue rose. Blue blue rose! Bring blue rose! Baba wants to be young again!"
"Adrian this woman is obviously delusional we should go, she can't help-,"
To my surprise and more so to Marina, the old woman started hitting her on the head with her staff, shouting louder and louder.
"Bring baba blue, bring baba blue rose!"
"Ow, ow quit it you old bat, ow!" Marina said covering her head.
Honestly I couldn't help but laugh. From where I was standing this was therapeutic by catharsis. karma for the nonsense Marina had put me through.
"Ow, ow, Adrian stop laughing and help, this really hurts, ow."
I grabbed her staff, "okay I'll find you your blue rose."
