what kind of store this is...?

sees someone looking at the store but finds herself not caring terribly. Nobody stole anything from her general goods store.

won't steal from anyone! She's just looking around at all the stuffs they sell in the store, wondering if they have anything interesting.

had everything from rum to navigation instruments to fresh fruits. It was a general goods store, but she seemed to cater to sailors.

decides to just buy some fruits. They need all the nutrition they can get while they're in land. "Excuse me, lady~?"

looked up at the woman and stood straight. "Ja, how may I help you?"

just stares at her for a while, not responding to the question.

waited a while before frowning, starting to get a little impatient. "Fraulein, how may I help you?"

blinks, snapped out of her thoughts. "Ahaha, sorry, miss. It's just, you looked so pretty so..." She grins at her, gesturing to the fruits.

"I'm wondering if you have more tomatoes here...?"

blushed slightly, feeling herself get a little flustered. It was one thing to get a compliment from a drunken sailor, it was another to get

it from a pretty lady. "A-Ah, well, I'm sure I have some more in the back. Let me go see." She went into the back looking for tomatoes.

chuckles at the obvious blush. She looks so cute like that! Kinda reminds her of a certain person with pouty mouth who blush just as easily.

beams at her. "Okay! I'll wait here then."

figured someone that pretty had to be taken. What a shame, not that Liese was one to pursue people. She kept looking for tomatoes, feeling

that she was close to finding them.

hums while waiting patiently for her to come back with tomatoes.

finds a crate hidden in the corner with fresh tomatoes. She picks it up and brings it to the front. "I managed to find some..."

examines the tomatoes in the crate, smiling happily when she found them to be in the perfect condition.

"These are good tomatoes! You have good eyes in picking your goods, miss!"

managed a small, proud smile from that compliment. "Danke... I like to offer the best goods. Though I've been a bit low on rum lately due to

pirates..."

"You're welcome~" She tilts her head at the mention of pirates. "But they're not giving you any troubles right...? _

Like perhaps, threatening you?"

sighed before leaning on the counter again. "Occasionally... mostly they steal my inventory off ships. It's been ages since I've gotten my

rum shipment."

finds herself pouting when the smile's gone, replaced with a sigh. She likes it when people are smiling.

"It's alright, lady~ I'm sure you'll get your rum soon." She'll find a way to make it happen.

gave a slightly sad smile. "Right... it may not matter soon. I'm thinking of making a change in occupation."

dislikes this smile even more than the sigh before. She frowns, giving her an inquisitive look. "A change in occupation?"

"I find this business well but... rather boring. To be honest I almost fell asleep behind the counter before you came in."

"But it's an honest business..." She chuckles. "Is it tiring? Managing a shop like this...?"

"It's a bit tiring, ja. Though it is honest which is good... I still have to think about it though."

"I'm sure everything will work out." She smiles at her, trying to get the smile back to the lady's face.

"You should smile more. It suits you."

chuckled softly and tried to smile or the benefit of the other. "I'm glad at least someone thinks that. It's rare I do though."

claps her hands at the sight of the smile. "I'm sure it's not just me." She chuckles. "Why though? Why not smile more?"

"I'm a rather serious person... the only time I smile without realizing it is when I'm playing a musical instrument."

she should play musical instrument then. If she plans to change her job. She makes sure to tell the other her thought.

"That would be nice, but around here all I could do would be a street performer... not too bad a thought though..."

"You can open your own performing house perhaps? A lot of people needs an entertainment every now and then."

"That's true. I would have to get a lot of capitol though. I suppose it's a nice dream to have though.

stays silent for a while before taking a small pouch filled with gems from their last raid from her pocket and hands it to the other.

"It's not a lot, but I hope it will help you."

shook her head, not picking up the pouch. "I really couldn't."

shakes her head stubbornly, putting it down on the table. "You should. I'll just take the tomatoes in exchange. Alright?"

could tell that she would be stubborn about this, so she supposed she would have to bargain. "I'll take it, but you may have tomatoes

whenever you're in town, my treat."

smiles, pushing the pouch to the other's direction. "Sure! That sounds good enough for me. ...

If you don't mind me, can I ask you your name?"

"Analiese Edelstein... and what is yours?" She asked as she picked up the pouch.

"Isabella Fernandez Carriedo~ It's a long name, no? So you can just call me Isabella..." She wonders what to call her though.

"I normally go by Fraulein Edelstein or Miss Analiese but... I suppose it would be no harm if you just called me Liese."

fraulein is a mouthful to say... "Liese." She repeats the name a few times before she's finally sure that she has remembered it.

"It's nice to meet you, Liese~"

bowed her head slightly before looking back at Isabella. "It is a pleasure to meet you too as well, Isabella."

chuckles and leans closer to wrap her arms around the other and pulls her into a hug. "Isa will do~" She smiles at her.

"Are you always this polite?"

blushes a little from the close contact; she wasn't very touchy. But she didn't mind. "I am... it was how I was raised and it takes a lot to

break out of the habit."

blinks then pulls away from her, giving Liese a little pat on her back. "Did I... make you feel uncomfortable then?"

stayed silent for a moment, thinking about her answer, before responding. "At first but... I think I would be fine if you did it again."

beams at her. "That's good to hear! I'm going to hug you again the next time we meet each other so..." She winks. "Prepare yourself~"

chuckled softly. "Very well then, I suppose there is no stopping you. Do as you please in that case."

really glad the other didn't go mad at her or anything. She even gave her permission for future hug-- which she quickly uses.

gathers the tomatoes as she pulls away. "I'll need to leave now. See you soon?"

nodded. "Come around anytime. I'm usually open between 900 and 1800."

notes the time in her mind and nods at her. "I will drop by again as soon as I can."

leaned over the counter and gave her a loose hug. "Auf wiedersehen, Isabella."

blinks at the hug and smiles warmly at her. "What does that mean?"

let go of her and returned to an upright position. "It means good bye. I'm guessing that now you have your tomatoes that you'll be leaving."

chuckles, noting the meaning in her mind. "I usually say adiós for that." She smiles at her again.

"I have my tomatoes, and you as a new friend, Liese. I'll see you again soon."

"Adios." She butchered the pronunciation of course. (( 8D End plurk? ))

chuckles at her pronunciation. She'll make sure to correct the other the next time they meet. (( >w< Yes )))

(( 8D <3 ))
