  After my meeting with Fabian, where I traded my glow fruit to him, and I got a hollow bean in exchange!! He seemed to be embarrassed about having it, but to me, it was the best thing that I've seen. It's almost impossible to find a Beania import in Fluffia, so I was fascinated by the simple black, blue, and orange bean. I knew what the item does similar things that the Hollow Fruit from back home does. Fabian also explained some of the things that it can do to me, if I consumed it. I rather prefer a glass limb than a bone limb to be honest!! So, once I was done at Faba, I started to make my way to Borlotti to finish the last leg of my visits, which is to visit Agnes! I heard so many things about her! They say that she is the BagBean that you go to for farming help and setting up your market booth, if you're feeling courageous! As I walked out of the small town of Faba, I pulled out my already worn out map of Beania, and I froze. Borlotti is such a far journey, 2 days at most. Before I got 100 meters out of the town, I suddenly heard someone scream my name.
"Mackie! Wait!" The voice yelled, from behind me.
I turned around and I saw Fabian running towards me. He stopped in front of me, out of breathe and hunched over. "Give me a moment." He breathed heavy for a moment. "Okay. I figured that you aren't done with your visits yet, and I am so far from the other Beans, so I wanted to let you borrow something. He isn't the smartest, but he will get you to where you need to go faster than you would if you were walking." He started heading back to his home. "Follow me real quick." I followed him, and he lead me to a small stable. "Here's one of my favorite Floophorses, he may be friendly, he isn't the brightest." He lead us to a step stool. "Here, I'll help you get up on him."
Fabian helped me get up on the floophorse, he told it to be good and to listen, and I was off. It was a difficult time to get there, but it only took 4 or 5 hours to ride to Borlotti.

  I arrived in town and had to ask someone t point me to Agnes's house. I dismounted from the floop horse, and used the reins and walked him to Agnes's house, which was across town. I figures that since I've been sitting for so long, I really needed to stretch my legs. I noticed the simple village scenery, and some of the bless looking market booths that lined the village square! I arrive at Agnes's house, and nervously approached the door and knocked.
"One moment! I'll be right there!" I heard her yell from the other side of the door. I heard things move from behind the door and she finally opened the door. "Sorry about that, I wasn't expecting you to be here so soon! Fabian told me you were on your way." She looked at me and streched out her hand, "Agnes, and your name?"
I reached out and shook her hand, "Mackie, it's so nice to meet you!"
"Same to you, Mackie. Anyway, come in, come in! I am so excited to have guest and new citizens to come over. Sorry that the place is a mess." She motioned me to come in, and the pace wasn't that bad, just a few plant pots here and there, and scrolls with some kind of research written down on it, over on, what I presume, is her work table. "Let's go to the Garden, I really want to show you soemthing that I want to show you."
She lead me through her house and out the back door into this beautiful garden! Some of the most marvelous flowers and plants! She even what looked to be a minature time tree! Her garden were absolute goals! I can't wait to start my Farming stage, so i can even start to thinking about having such a marvelous garden!
"Mackie, over here!" Agnes announced, motioning me over to her shed. "Now, I know you probably don't know much about farming, or the tools involved. So I decided I wanted to show you the basic tools that you would use!" She pulled out a ton of farming tools and splayed them onto the ground, one by one.
"Now," She motioned to the first one, which looked like a giant spoon that was flattened,"this is a shovel." She Picked up the tool and walked over to the soft plot of dirt. "You use it to dig into the ground. You simple push it into the ground like so," And she did what she said, she strikes the ground with the shovel and levered it to where it lifted the dirt! "And you just wiggle it and pull back up! Now this will create a while in the ground, as you can see here. With this tool, you can use it to create space for your plants or to bury your beans to grow a plant, such as a time bean!" She went on to another tool, and other, and we ended up spending the rest of the day and some of the evening, just using the tools on an empty plot of dirt in her garden. I learned a lot and can't wait to start farming! Agnes was nice enough to fix tea and some small sandwiches around dinner time for us. Once we were done with the tools. Agness walked me over to her various plants and showed me a few of them. 
"Now, this one doesn't look like much, but it's actually a potato plant! They don't grow above on the plant, instead, they grow in the ground. It's quite facinating!" She pointed to another one, "This once, it kind of matches your cloak, it's called a pink lemonade blueberry bush, it's a strong plant, I tell you what. She is about 6 years old now, and she has bared fruit every year since!" She looked at me and at the plant, "You can actually have her! You just need to water her every other day, okay? Other than that, just let her have some sunshine and she'll be good to go!"
After than, we came to a mutual agreement that it's getting kind of late in the day, and I needed to return the floop horse to Fabian. So I took off, and headed back to Faba, but with a pit stop to stay the night at PeaGarden, since I don't know this place well enough to travel at night.
