She stands up looking at you with that same smug grin. The wind swaying the branches of the trees nearby. The air is thick with her magical presence.
She softly assures to you. "It will reveal the truth."
"Truth? Who are you?"
"Elana." She states simply. She's being awfully curt with you...
"Right, listen Elana. If you want me to trust you, and eat... Whatever that is, you're going to have to give me more info than this." Though, as you say this, your stomach growls heavily. She notices immediately chuckling a bit under her breath. Her piercing amber eyes staring into yours.
"I think your soul will find it quite nutritious." Something about her tone makes you shiver at this. Haunting.
Elana wanders back around to the other side of the table, back behind the chocolate. Seeing this table of hers, this stand of hers out in the middle of the woods like this... Strange.
"Can't imagine you'd get too many customers way out here Elana. What the hell is this?"
You look over her wares at the table, fried scorpion tails on a stick. Potion infused breads of various colors like green and red. A box of something labeled 'Starlight Tea'. And a few elaborate crystalline jars labeled 'Dreamberry Jam'. You decide to pick up one of the jars of jam.
"Dreamberry Jam? What nonsense is this?"
She softly tells you, "Its made from berries that only bloom during a full moon. Each and every spoonful grants a glimpse into their own dreamscape, allowing the eater to explore their hopes and aspirations while they sleep."
"So... You eat it, and then you can do whatever you want in your dreams? What kind of witch are you?"
She replies poutily seeming mildly annoyed. "You ask so many questions. I'm not used to being interrogated so thoroughly. Why don't you tell me more about yourself?"
"M-me? I'm uh..."

Option A) I'm a deserter, I wandered away from the battlefield. My captain is probably trying to find me, but I just... Couldn't stand any more bloodshed. I killed, so many... I just want to forget it, I only signed up, to earn enough money for my sister. To serve my country, but the reality of war... It was more than I could've expected.
Option B) I'm a novice mage. Good at fire magic, not much else. I performed basic magical tricks for aristocrats at parties. While those who were more naturally gifted attended the royal mage academy and became celebrities in their own right. I got sick of being viewed as a joke for societys amusement, and just... Wandered out into the woods, not sure what I was expecting to find.
Option C) Write-In for other actions or desires
