THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR OVER 800 READS!!! ❤️
The cozy warmth of the shop enveloped you as you stepped in from the cold, shaking off the snowflakes that clung to your jacket. Outside, the quiet town of Snowdin was blanketed in white, the soft glow of the lamps illuminating the peaceful streets. You had always liked coming here. There was something about the small town, nestled deep in the Underground, that felt like home. And the shop, run by the cheerful rabbit-like Snowdin Shopkeeper, was always a welcoming sight.
"Hello, dear!" the shopkeeper greeted as you entered, her voice warm and bright. She stood behind the counter, her usual purple shirt and purple hat making her look as cozy as the shop itself. Her round, fluffy face broke into a wide smile as she saw you. "Back again, I see. Need something for the road?"
You smiled, stepping up to the counter. "Just thought I'd stop by and say hi. And maybe grab some supplies while I'm here."
The shopkeeper chuckled, her soft laugh almost musical. "Well, you've come to the right place! I've got all sorts of goodies. What are you looking for today? Some healing items? A new coat, perhaps?"
You looked over the neatly arranged items on the shelves- potion bottles, bandages, warm clothing, and even a few trinkets from the town's local crafters. But what really drew your attention was the friendly atmosphere she always created. Her shop was more than just a place to pick up supplies- it was a place of comfort, somewhere you knew you could always find a kind word or a smile.
"I think I'll take a few healing items." you said, picking out a couple of small jars filled with glowing liquid. "You never know when you'll need them."
"Very wise!" the shopkeeper nodded, carefully wrapping up the items and placing them in a small bag. "It's always good to be prepared."
As she worked, you found yourself watching her. There was something calming about her presence. She was kind, cheerful, and always seemed genuinely happy to see you. It was easy to talk to her, and over the past few months, you'd come to look forward to your visits here more and more.
Once she handed you the bag, you lingered by the counter for a moment. "Do you ever get bored, staying here in the shop all day?"
The shopkeeper looked up, surprised by the question. Then she smiled warmly, shaking her head. "Oh, no, not at all! I love my little shop. I get to meet all sorts of wonderful people- like you- and help them out. Besides," she added, her eyes twinkling. "it's nice and warm in here, much better than being out in the cold all the time!"
You chuckled. "That's true. Snowdin's weather isn't exactly mild."
"Exactly!" she said, her laugh light and infectious. "And besides, I don't need to go on adventures to find excitement. I hear all sorts of interesting stories from travelers like yourself. It's almost like I get to live them through your experiences."
You nodded, understanding her sentiment. "I suppose that makes sense. You must have heard a lot of stories over the years."
"Oh, I have!" she said, her smile softening as she leaned on the counter. "Some of them are funny, some are sad, but they're all meaningful in their own way. It's a little reminder that everyone has their own journey."
There was something comforting in her words, the way she could make even the simplest things seem profound. It was one of the things you admired about her- how she could find meaning in the everyday moments that most people would overlook.
"You've got a way with words." you said, offering her a small smile. "It's always nice talking to you."
The shopkeeper's ears perked up, her cheeks tinged with a slight blush. "Oh, you're too kind, dear. I'm just happy to have someone to chat with. It gets quiet around here sometimes, you know?"
You hesitated for a moment before speaking again, your voice a little softer. "Well, I'm glad to be here. I like spending time with you."
The shopkeeper blinked, clearly touched by your words. Her smile became a little more gentle, and she reached out, placing her hand over yours for a brief moment. Her fur was soft and warm, just like her presence.
"I like having you here too." she said softly. "You've become one of my favorite customers, you know. It's not just about the shopping- it's the company. So, thank you for that."
You felt a warmth in your chest at her words, a connection that went beyond the usual customer-shopkeeper dynamic. It wasn't just the supplies or the warmth of the shop that kept you coming back. It was her- the way she made you feel welcome, cared for, like you were more than just another traveler passing through.
After a moment, she pulled her hand back, her smile brightening once again. "Now, is there anything else I can get for you before you head back out into the cold?"
You shook your head, feeling a bit lighter now. "No, I think I'm all set. But I'll be back soon."
"I'll be here." she said cheerfully, giving you a small wave as you turned to leave. "Stay safe out there, dear!"
As you stepped out into the snow-covered streets of Snowdin, the cold biting at your skin once more, you couldn't help but feel a warmth lingering from your time in the shop. There was something special about the Snowdin Shopkeeper, something that made you look forward to your next visit, knowing that she'd be there waiting, ready to greet you with that kind smile and a kind word.
And as you walked away, you found yourself smiling too.
