1 Hour Earlier - Husk and Baxter convo:
"So let me get this straight, you are asking a guy who lost the ability to love on relationship and dating advice? Are you fuckin serious?" Husk asked.
"Yes, I'm fooking serious. I just need some information on Niffty. What does she like?" Baxter asked with annoyance and attitude.
"Okay man, if you wanna slip your dick into her 'flower', I don't know why she calls it that, then you gotta take it easy, listen to her every word, and be yourself."
"Blah, you jumped to conclusions! I don't want to mate with her so quickly! That's disgusting and depraved!" Baxter snapped.
"Calm down, little schnitzel. And you just said you don't want to mate with her so quickly. So eventually, you're gonna tap her soon. Or she's gonna tap you. Hah!"
Baxter growled in annoyance, blushing a little knowing that he just said something like that. That he will eventually make love to her sometime later.
"Look, little Hans. She obviously likes cleaning, shopping, cutsie stuff, you, and surprises. It's not gonna be that hard. She's a clingy hopeless romantic that hasn't been laid in decades."
Baxter shuddered at his last sentence. "Okay then, I think I know what to do now. Thank you, I suppose....
Baxter walked away from the bar but turned back to clear something up.
"And me and Niffty will not be mating anytime soon! Understand!?" Baxter pointed at him. Trying to make himself seem intimidating. It only made Husk snort a laugh.

Now after Baxter asked Niffty out:
"You didn't tell me we were gonna go shopping! Oh Bax, I didn't know this side of you!" Niffty said while she walked by Baxter's side. The streets in Pentagram city were not as busy and crowded this day, so they had no worries of being bumped into and kicked by taller demons.
"So what was this place called again?" Niffty asked Baxter, who was now blushing hard because they were holding hands as they walked. He never had this sort of experience with anyone before, he didn't know what to properly do with her hand in response. Does he grip hers back to show that he doesn't want to let her go? Does he just not squeeze her hand to avoid breaking her  delicate small hand? It's quite hard to decide. So he ended up gripping her hand back with the exact amount of pressure she was giving to him. But a little less and gently squeezing her hand. To make sure that she knew that he wouldn't let go so easily.
"Helloooo? ~Bax?~" Niffty asked for him again. He was so focused on this subtle physical contact of hers that he forgot her question.
"Oh! I'm so sorry. It was...uh...oh! Allchemy, Cleaning, and Poisons. That's the actual name of the store." Baxter answered

"It's literally called that? Welp, I'll be in it soon! I don't care if it's a lazy name, I just want some more cleaning materials." Niffty said with glee. Not knowing the true nature of Baxter's business there. It was an all chemical compound store, from selling the most deadliest chemicals and making powerful weapons out of them to selling the most amazing air fresheners and perfumes that would seduce the smeller in a mile radius.

"Wow! Look at all this place! Before all this, I was struggling getting lost at Helmart because I either kinda forgot or they would change the areas where they sell my favorite cleaning products." Niffty said in awe.

"This is why I don't shop there. It's all just a crowded mess of idiots." Baxter commented.

"Oh Baxter, you're so smart." Niffty complimented him. This made him blush a little and scratch the back of his head. "Oh, heh. Thank you." Baxter said nervously. She remembered that he liked being complimented by his intelligence. It's the only way to start it first.
"Aaaand, you're really cute when you blush like that too." As Niffty said this, Baxter easily got flustered and tried to make himself look unaffected by it.
"Please stop it now. Don't call me that, out here." Baxter grumbled now. Niffty was just enjoying all of this. Teasing him and getting him flustered gives her such a rush.
"Okay, now that we are in, I need to ge-"
"Bax! Bax! Over there I think they have my favorite cleaning detergent!" Niffty cut off his sentence and was leading him to the cleaning aisle of the store. This wasn't his plan at all. He wanted to split up so he could have time to get his chemical compounds, they could get unstable if he chose the wrong ones.
