The Hunter's Shop

A Date?

Thomas's POV:

This floor wass horrible. I can't lay on it comfortably while I'm basically freezing from the lack of heat. I need to buy a sleeping bag or an actual mattress to sleep on. So, I decided to walk around and ask for directions.

After a bit of talking and walking, I finally found a store that sold some mattresses. When I entered, it was full of beds. Some big, some small, some fluffy, and some rough.

I then began to feel them, pressing my hand against them. They were really soft, better than any bed I slept in. Then, one of the employees came up too me. Honestly, if I was still in my Yharnam attire, these people would try to avoid me at all costs.

Employee: "Hello sir, are you interested in this bed?"

Thomas: "Yes I am. I just recently moved in and need a bed that can help me sleep better."

Employee: "Alright. Well, we have a sell going on now, its actually the final day. Buy a bed and get a blanket and some pillows for free."

Thomas: "Perfect! How much for the bed?"

Employee: "It will be about 250 lien."

I check my pants and pull out my lien. 9,700 lien, that's more than enough.

Thomas: "Here you go sir, 250 lien."

Employee: "Thank you sir, now, where should we deliver the bed?"

Thomas: "Hampton Street. My shop is by itself so it should be noticeable enough."

After that, I signed a paper and gave him the lien. Once done, I left the store. It's time to get familiar with Vale and learn what is where. Since I'm in the commercial district, it's filled to the brim with shops of all kinds. Time to get some merchandise.

I then felt someone bump into me. When I turned to look, I saw no one... until I looked down. It was a woman with brown and pink hair, to be honest though, it's kinda neat.

Thomas: "Oh, sorry. I wasn't paying attention, are you okay miss?"

I reached my hand out towards her and she grabbed it. Now that she was standing up, I realized that this girl was very short. I have to bend slightly to even look her in the eyes.

The girl then typed on some small device and presented it to me.

Girl: It's fine. I gotta say though, you gotta pay attention more. Now I have to go back to the laundromat.

Thomas: "I'm really sorry miss, is there any way I can make it up?"

The girl then begins to stare at me, looking up and down my body.

Girl: Actually, I think there is, handsome. Let's get some ice cream.

I then got confused. What is 'ice cream'? Is it good?

Thomas: "Uh, miss. I'm afraid I have to ask, what is 'ice cream'?"

The girl's jaw drop and seemed to be surprised.

Girl: You don't know what ice cream is!?! How? It is only the best dessert in the world!

Thomas: "Really now? Hmm... You know what? Sure, I'll go with you, but you have to show me where to buy some."

The girl then grabbed my hand suddenly and began to drag me to a small corner store. How strong is this girl? She has the grip of a fucking Cleric Beast!

When she finally let go of me, I found myself in a shop, it was cold. She then pushed me towards the cashier.

Cashier: "Hello sir! Welcome to Frozen Delights, what would you like?"
