--------
We walk in the store.
I'm immidiately being bock by the sent, the fucking parfume or something ! A very strong smell of flowers and some kind of shit !
That remind me of the parfume Big nosy use too wear. That things could have kill me and I'm a hundren porcente sure it has kill some of the child. It could have been me.
Probably.
" What the fuck is that smell ! " I say
" Smells good to me " I say
I look at him, and make the disgust face.
" Sometimes I think you make that face seriously "
" Hahaha ! No but still, its too much ! " I say
Then I hear multiple sound, voice of two people talking. I look at where the noice are coming from. They come from a back door, or maybe the back door ?
I walk to it, place my ear on the door and try to understand what the talks is about.
" You hear something ? " Mabel ask
" I just started listening give me a break " I whisper to him
As I listen more and more I can distinguish, the more it look like theres an argument going on. Or they are fighting, or getting to it.
Well at least I'll have something interesting to see.
As I'm still listening the argument stop. I look at Mabel, he understand immidiately what I think. He grab my arm and walk fast to the front door and act like we just enter.
Then the door opened. One person comes out of it, Solana.
She sees us and forces a smile before rapidly closing the door. But just before she closed it, I was able to see the second person she was talkinh too. Some kind of cat lady wearing black.
Knowing that would not be helpful any time soon...
" Hello Frade dear. Are you enjoying your stay ? " Solana ask
" Yeah, its a bit fun. Found a job pretty easily thats great and all " I respond
" Right...And what is your business here ? " she ask
Before I could say anything Mabel took the advantage.
" Our business is that we heard the best potion maker in all of town, is the beautiful and remarkable person of all Dramo. And its seem we have found her "
" Ohhhh you flarter me young man. But I'm not the best one, far from him. But I mean everyone is the greatess at one thing " she says
Until you found someone that is greater, then you are the former greatess.
" I mena it ! But its not the point. My friend wondered if there is somekind of public shower, or place to clean himself "
Solana look at me, probably wondering if I did say that.
" Yeah like he said. Do you know one ? " I ask
" I own one " she says
" Really ?? "
" Not for client use. Its a personal one " she says
" Then why saying it in the first place ? " I ask
" Because I allow you to use it. " She say looking at me
" Really ?? " Mabel say
" Not you " she says
" Why !? " he ask
" Because theres a better one down the street and its only for one person to use " she says
" Than why not me ?? " he ask
" Because I'll be using it and you won't " I respond
" Why you over me !? " he ask
" Because I worked more and because... " I try to say
" She clearly doesn't want your ass inside her bathroom " I whisper to him
I thought Mabel would make more of a scene, but he doesn't. He just sigh and ask where clearly the public shower are.
" There are not public. There are special one. Here i'm giving you my pass for it "
Then I see a smile on his face.
" Most be pretty expensive ? "
" Yes, thats why I'm giving you my pass, but do keep in mind that its still mine. So you will have to give it back " she says
" Of course ! Of course its pretty expensive after all. Do remind me where they are ? "
As she talks with him I hear a door craking, I look at the source of the noice and see the same cat person Solana was talking too.
That person looks likes a girl but has some kind of boys trait on her face. His face ?
A girl that tries to look like a man ??
I wait to see if shes gonna try to do something but then she turn her head to probably look at me.
She stop, she doesn't move, I don't move. We just fix one another. But then she slowly close the door.
" Oh Katia ! I didn't hear you ! "
The girl pratically jump when Solana call her out. She then quickly close the door without saying a word.
" Shes a very reserve person. And she doesn't like new people "
She seemed intrigue enough by me, but also by Mabel.
" She look intrigue " I say
" And pretty cute " Mabel whisper to me
" Don't worry about her. She will not brother you " Solana says
I sure hope so.
" Well then, is there more I can do to you ? A potion ? A parfum maybe ?? " she ask
" Well I'll probably pass by for a parfum ! "
Then Mabel turn around to face me.
" Lets meet up at the square when were done. Just don't spend the money " Mabel say
He then salute Solana before getting out og the store.
" So you obviously don't know where my shower is. So I'm gonna guide you there. " she says
Solana then open the back door.
" Katia I'm gonna be absent for a moment. Take care of the store for me "
I go to the front door open it and wait for Solana.
She walk up to me and before I could get out of the store she cut me off. Walk in front of me and pratically step on my feet.
What the fuck !?
" Hey ! " I say
" Oh thanks you young man. Holding the door for the lady " she says
I step out of the store and Solana immidiately start to walk without waiting for me. I rush to catch up with her.
I hope she doesn't try to make conversation.
" So Frade "
Shit
" Did you and Lithra talk last night ? " she ask
Where does that comes from ??
" Yeah ? Why ? "
" Just to have a confirmation, thats all " she says
Okay ?
" Just so you know, before actually going into the bath I have to burn some wood to make heat for the water. So its gonna take time " she says
" I can wait alright " I say
" Great. Well then we are here " she says
I look in front of us and she a two story house with lots of flower.
" Nice house " I say
" Thank you. How about we enter it ? "
" Well okay of course, you shower ain't outiside right ? " I ask
" No no ! Why would it ? " she says
I don't know, maybe thats normal ?
We enter the house and just like inside the store the smell burn my nose.
" Oh ! What is that smell !! "
" Oh you don't like it ? " she ask
" No ! " I yell
" Oh, I'm sorry, here I'll get it out " she says
She then do a strange mouvement with her hand and some pike fug appear before being suck onto her hand. It forms some kind of ball.
" What did you just do ? " I ask
" Oh Its just simple magic " she respond
Okay ? Cool ??
Solana then grab my arm and guide me through the house. The big house. She then open a door and show me the bath.
Its kind of massive, theres a giant pool in the ground, a little wall stopping any water from going to the stone floor.
" Thats, kind of cool I guess ? "
Solana than open some metal box. She then make fire appear from her hand and make the wood burn. But like...
" Are you sure this is gonna make the bath hotter ? Like this isn't even connected to the bath ! " I ask
" It is, its just in the ground " she respond
" Okay ? But were like on the second floor " I say
" Don't ask question that don't matter " she says
" What ? " I say
She then give me a towel before leaving the bath and closing the door behind her.
" Fuck you ? " I say
Shit, now I'm the one who that try to make conversation. Fucking shit Frade !
I enter the bath after getting my cloths off, obviously. I place myself in order to be entirely in the water and yet having my upper body outside of it.
I don't like having water being that high on my body.
Thats remind me too much of Buck...the time he pratically drown me...when he tried to chocked me with water...the time he made me...the time...
Oh shut the fuck up !! It was like 6 years ago !! Or 7...shit It all goes back to 15 years...
Why...why ? Why did he do all of this !?? Why was I the only one suffering ! Why couldn't I get my revenge !! WHY !!?? WHY YOU SON OF A BITCH !! WHY DID YOU ALLOW HIM TO JUST GO !!!
I then hear a noice, someone just enter the bathroom. Locking the door behind him ?
I open my eye and turn my head immidiately to the person that just enter. Its-It's...
" Lithra ?? "
" Ah !! " she says jumping in fear
Well, the fuck you doing here !?
