Blocking out the foul language of the village men and dodging the animal crap on the ground, Clarissa approaches the local blacksmith. She stops at a window, glancing inside. "How can I help you, dear?" a man questions. His apron, burnt black, just about reaches the floor.
"I'm hoping to buy an axe." Clarissa replies. The man walks towards the window. "An axe, you say? Come in. We'll get you sorted out." he replies. Clarissa smiles and enters the shop. "Are you looking for an axe similar to one you've seen, or just something that tickles your fancy?" the blacksmith asks. "One I've seen before." Clarissa confirms. The man nods.
The blacksmith leads Clarissa towards a stand full of axes, big and small. "Feel free to look around. I'll-" suddenly there's a holler at the window. The blacksmith turns. "Excuse me, dear. I need to sort this gentleman out. I'll get my daughter, Leonora, to attend to you." he tells. Clarissa nods.
She continues browsing through the collection of axes as the sound of soft footsteps approach. "How are you going?" a woman asks. Clarissa turns, and her lips curve into a smile. "I'm Leonora." the woman introduces. "I'm Clarissa." Clarissa replies. Leonora, herself, smiles. "Have you found anything that interests you?" she questions. Clarissa shakes her head.
Leonora looks over the collection, then back to Clarissa. "Come with me. We have a book of types and designs." she tells. Clarissa's smile widens. "Okay."
The pair walk through the store and stop at a bench. Leonora grabs a large book and opens it. "Flick through it. Hopefully what you're looking for, or something similar, is there." she says. Clarissa looks over each page, stopping on one particular sketch. "This one." she tells Leonora. Leonora glances at the sketch then nods. "Perfect. There's a few in the back. I'll go get them."
Leonora disappears through an old curtain, quickly returning with three axes. One of them instantly catches Clarissa's attention. "That's just like my fathers old one." she says. Leonora smiles. "So is this the one you'd like?" she questions. Clarissa nods, still studying the axe. "Perfect."
Clarissa pays for the axe, a happy grin on her face. "Thank you very much, Leonora." she says. Leonora nods with a smile. "You're more than welcome."
The pair walk towards the exit. Leonora's father approaches them. "Did you find what you came for, dear?" he asks Clarissa. She nods. "I did, thank you." she replies. The blacksmith pats Leonora on the back. "Good job, Nora. Thank you." Leonora looks to the ground as if she's embarrassed. The blacksmith bids Clarissa farewell before leaving the pair.
"Thank you again." Clarissa mentions, looking at the axe. "No problem. I hope to see you around." Leonora replies. Clarissa looks up, smiles, and nods. "Yes, definitely. I better get going now. Goodbye." she says. "Goodbye. Enjoy your axe." Leonora replies. Clarissa chuckles as she exists the store.
