currently trying to haggle with the store-holder to give him a discount for the salmon that he wants to buy.

spotted him and walked over, pausing once he realized that he was busy. He waited patiently while he finished.

eventually gave up the fight, since he doesn't like fighting with people, accepting the price with a heavy sigh. Slipping the salmon into

approached him, smiling faintly and looking happy to see him. "It's been too long," he said once he was within earshot. "I hope it was

very much like for you to show me!"
