Chapter 5

I haven't posted since November- probs will die again after this lol.

Y/N's POV

"Y/N!!, Come on!"

I hear Angie yelling out for me, probably to remind me to return back to the ship. That's when saw a little figure running at me at full speed.

"WAIT!! Y/N!!"

Oh

Oh no

I gotta go *oomf*

The running figure crashes into me and we both fall into the snow.

"Y/N! You're finally here! I was so worried about you, I was worried if you fell down the ship or you got caught by the Many-Eyed creature or if you drowned or slipped and cracked your skull or- mmph"

I covered Franc's mouth instantly. He's such a worrywart.

"I'm fine, Franc. You can see I'm here so it's all okay. You need to stop worrying about me so much when you have much important things to worry about."

"But-"

"NO buts, just smile and nod"

And he does exactly that, Franc and the rest of the performers are supposed to be putting on a show but had to cancel last minute due to..personal reasons. I always wonder about the future of their group.

"Well, it's nice seeing you here. I noticed your ship come in so I ran here as fast as I could."

"With money, I hop-"

"YES with money, you greedy pirate!"

We both laugh and got up from the snow and dust ourselves off.
(*does earth prophet emote 4*)

"Well then, let me show you our wonderful selection of crystals and other stuff we found"

I bring Franc to the deck where the rest of the crew are unloading onto to the pier.

I signal Bob to help me use a crowbar open one of the crates so Franc can look at the our goods.

"Y/N..this is- WOW! This was why you were gone for a 6 months? This looks beautiful! I would love to have this on our next play."

He hands over a bag of gold coins in exchange for 3 crates.

"Pleasure doing business and seeing you again, Franc. We'll have some guys bring it over to the stage in a few hours"

I shake his hand, he thanks me again and walks away. This bag should be enough for 3 meals a day for the entire crew for half a week.

I hand the bag over to Caesar and walk over to the ship to check Franc's crates if they had the correct contents.

Canon's POV

I'm in the village shopping for supplies with Angie and Abby. Caesar doesn't trust the 2 to shop alone without possibly spending too much or losing their wallets so I tagged along to supervise.

"Angie! Look at these skates! It's from that TGC brand...yikes they're expensive. I really want them!"

Abby goes over to her and they both admire the skates.

I drag the two away from the display stands and push them to keep on walking.

"Caesar gave you 2 a list for shopping. Food, tools, and coal, you can get whatever you want with what's leftover."

Abby shows a sour face and sighs.

"Don't you know anything other than weapons and swimming? The Village of Dreams is a hive of buying and selling! Who knows? Maybe once we get everything we need, the things we want will already be gone!" She complains.

"I don't want to hear it, keep on moving. The market is nearby, Come on" I instructed pointing at it.

We get over there and buy food and tools. We just need to go to the mines and get coal.

"The 2 of you wait here, there's a lot of pick pocketers near this part so stay together. Hold hands and keep the other hand over your bags."

They nod and stay behind. I don't have anything worth stealing so I'm sure if I did get picked, they won't have anything really worth selling.

I get the coal and as I expected, my pockets light. That was just full of oyster shells from when I was picking out pearls to sell. Whoever that was, thanks for taking my trash, may that be your treasure.

I get the 2 girls and they were already rushing to buy whatever they wanted with the spare cash.

"Oh my gosh! Abby look at these capes! So bright and warm! Wanna get 2 so we can match?"

She nods and walks over happily.

"Let's buy 2 big ones! They're so soft I wanna use them as a blanket!! I'll also want this pendant but I saw another one just like it in the other shop over there for a cheaper price."

"Canon! Come here and hold the bags, it's getting too heavy for me.."

I get their bags and walk behind them when something caught my eye.

It was a snowflake pin.

"I can see you're eyeing one of my goods, young man"

An old lady gestures me to come forward but I kept my guard up and looked away.

"Ah don't be so shy, c'mere! This granny won't bite ya... It's cheap, I promise!"

Caught by her words, I walk forward.

"Now. I bet this was what you were looking at"



The pin sparkled brightly, this would look great on Y/N...I can just imagine it..

"I'll take it, hand it over" I demanded, startling the old lady.

"My my, what an energetic attitude. It'll be 10 coins (10 hearts, I'm tgc fr)"

10?? This old woman's brave for changing the price when I can see the price marking has it on for 5.

"You're really not gonna like messing with me, old hag. 5 coins. That's it"

"Then I guess you're barking up the wrong tree. Just for that, 15 coins."

"What?! It clearly says 5, so I'm giving you 5!"

"Your heart tells me you really want it so it's 15"

"5"

"15"

"7"

"12"

"10"

"Deal"

Damn it. I got tricked. I really hate this village.

"Thank your for the exchange, dearie. Please come back soon!"

"Not likely"
I scoffed and walked away, seeing the woman smiling while counting the coins.

"Angie. Abby. Let's go."

I motioned and the 2 followed willingly. I see they're both satisfied with their goods, and I guess so am I.

Angie's POV

"Abby, did you buy that?"
I tap on her shoulder asking, pointing at the shiny pin glittering from our bags.

She shrugs

"It's very pretty, but no I didn't. Where did that come from?"

The 2 of us put our heads together and we glanced at Canon.

We giggled and smirked. Canon sure is thoughtful, Y/N is very lucky to have such a weird canoneer.
