You decide on gruel.

Crystal Charm: "Gruel it is! Let's head back to the windmill, then."

The sun continues its slow descent toward the cloudy horizon. A few ponies sit around the park, watching the sunset as they enjoy their evening meal.

You follow Crystal Charm into the windmill.

Crystal Charm: "Hey, it looks like nopony's using the grinder right now. Then again, we did get here a bit later than usual. Time to get grindin'!"

Crystal Charm winks at you, then pours the barley into the grinder.

Crystal Charm: "While that's getting ready, is there anything you'd like to chat about?"
