As Odin entered the shop, a familiar smell made itself known to him, that of magic itself, a smell that proved that this shop was legitimate. It wasn't a smell that had a single aroma, rather it was the feeling it brought him. Potions, herbs, they all came with their own smells, and the culmination brought a smell that could only be described as magic. What a world he lived in

Past:
Early in the morning she started walking through the forest. It was a normal walk in the park of nature with the simple breeze and the sun being out. Today she felt like being simple, enough to wear just a tank top, some white jogging shorts with black lines and carry a simple jogging jacket over her shoulder. There was no need to wear it since the weather was so nice. Her blonde soft hair bounced like a typical pony tail would upon each step she took. It shined and was beautiful like glimmering aquilegia chrysanthas. Her eyes could not be seen clearly as she was wearing sunglasses on this very day.
''I'm sure the old man will be happy to see me.'' she said and chuckled to herself with a smirk. Her arms dangled against her side as she went onto the trail towards the drug-like shop. Soon enough she knocked on the door, walking in to invite herself in. ''Hello?~ Old man?'' she spoke up in a questionable way. ''Errr... Just wanted to stop by to see if you needed help.'' she wondered. ''Huh?'' she heard and then some things fell. ''Hey!'' she said and walked towards behind the counter to help him up. ''Haha, silly man. Let me help out.'' she said to him.
Current time:
Arisa was in the back room cleaning up some supplies and organizing things in the correct order. ''Here you go, dear.'' he said as she tilted her head to look at him. ''Oh thanks! You go take care of the customers as I stay back here. Yell if you need anything.'' she said to him and climbed up the stairs to put the potion away. With that she heard a ding from the door's bell. Her eyes cornered to look towards the main room. ''Glad he put that up so he can hear his customers. Haha...'' she softly smile with a motherly smile going back to helping out.

''Well aren't you a rarity. Welcome to my shop, where I can provide any and all of your magical needs. What can I do for you?''
Straight into the shopkeeper spiel, Odin couldn't help but just chuckle, his hollow laugh echoing through the entire shop that everyone could hear as his voice followed, "Just browsing thanks. I know of a similar shop over in Oak that I've frequented, wanted to see how this one matched up is all. No offence intended of course, your shop seems equally equipped."
The last part Odin just said so as not to piss off the shopkeeper in their first meeting, he hadn't had a long enough look around to accurately tell if this shop was better or worse prepared than Mabuz's, but there was a lot of similar items dotting the area around the shop. Perhaps it would be worth having a look around after all.

Fidgeting, organizing and studying as she looked at the magical wonders of the things in the shop. She saw many potions; love potions, elemental potions of many, potions that cured illness and more. Arisa sighed as she railed down the latter with her hands and landed on her two feet. 'I'm sure he won't mind me relaxing for a bit.' she thought and sat down on some boxes. Her right hand unscrewed the bottle cap of the watered bottle. Softly she yawned before taking a drink. Her head rested against the shelf in the back as she relaxed. 'This is so much better...' she thought and then opened her left eye a little to see someone coming in more. 'Mmm.. wonder who's there.' she thought and stood up, forgetting she was right next to the shelf. ''Crap!'' she yelled and as the shelf rocked, potions falling, Arisa caught the ones falling and chuckled nervously.
''That was close...'' she spoke and safely placed them back. After doing that simple task, she peeked out of the door, ''Need any hel-....'' she was about to ask and then saw Grim. Her eyes opened a little and tilted her head a little to see past the sunglasses she was wearing. ''Oh.. Hey Grim! Fancy seeing you here.'' she said before positioning herself in a straight manner and walked out. Being on the other side of the counter she rested her hand on the counter to stare at him. ''Whacha up to?~'' she teased with a smirk.

The old man, Khalash, was clearly surprised that the two knew each other, as Arisa was someone who didn't obviously look like an all powerful mage, or an angel, and yet she was both. Smiling at both the greeting, although it didn't translate through the maniacal grin ever present on his face, Odin answered both of them with a calm, and rather happy, voice.
"Just browsing Arisa, also I've decided that Grim isn't really working out for me. I was Lucifer before, I'm still him now. As for why I'm here, I heard of a shop that dealt in magical items and had to come see for myself. What about you? You given up on everything and decided to work full time? If you'd told me that, I'd have given you work in my bar." A hollow laugh echoed throughout the shop, usually devoid of emotion but today it was uttered with mild amusement, as Odin of course didn't think for any moment that Arisa had ended her tale here.

Next, he told her that he heard somethings about this shop so he wanted to check it out. Finally, he then asked about her working here and how he would've gave her a job at his bar, making her chuckle this time. ''Well, aren't you a bag of jokes -- instead of bones.'' she joked with a sweet smile. ''How many names are you going to change to? As much as my appearance?'' she joked once more with another chuckle. Now with a serious facial expression she gazed at her friend. Arisa's arms crossed against her chest and her body leaned against the corner of the doorway she just came out of. ''I decided to visit him and saw he needed help, but I have my own business else where so I'm in no need of a job. I think my business is quite bombing if you ask me.'' she responded back and stood straight up to walk around the counter to the other side. Her head cocked towards the old man with a wave.
''All your stuff is organized in the back, old man. List is on the barrel beside the desk close to the potions of healing.'' she instructed. He nodded with a pleasing smile. ''Now then, 'Lucifer', what shall we do today? Anything else planned other than shopping?'' she wondered. She had to go soon anyways, but she might as well see what he was up to first.
Fri Apr 20, 2018 12:36 am
"Oh? And where is it you work? I'll need to visit sometime." The figurative raising of the eyebrow was obvious in Odin's voice, even if he couldn't physical do it. He had never known Arisa to be a businesswoman, and he liked to think he knew her rather well. Perhaps this was a new arrangement, or perhaps he simply didn't know this woman as much as thought he did.
She spoke about helping the old man, Khalash, and she had organised all his things before coming through to the front, but now she was finished and about to leave, asking Odin what his plans were beyond shopping, to which the Lich simply replied, "Didn't really have any plans, I'm free for the rest of the day, any preferences on what we do?"

''I'll tell you about it later, but for now do you want to go to some bar or perhaps the sto --'' she was about to continue, but the old man appeared with some bottles. ''Ohoho~ I have some special brew for you -- take it as payment for helping out or as you will. Enjoy the day, Arisa.'' spoke Khalash. ''Hah, thank you.~'' she nodded her head and took them without asking questions. Swiftly she stuck them in a carrying back and took the bag to end up looking at Lucifer now. ''Alright, want to camp out in the woods and drink then? I don't know... something different than a bar or some typical building.'' she tried to say nervously and unsure. She didn't want to sound stupid and was worried he'd judge her for the small choices she was playing out. In all truth, she has never been camping before... What did people do during camping? It was all drinking and the little fire pit thing, wasn't it?

As they were about to leave to do something with their day, although neither of them really knew what they were going to do, Khalash stopped and handed some 'special brew' to Arisa, calling it payment for her helping out. Whether special brew meant actual beer, or some strange magical concoction he had created, the old man didn't specify, but it seemed to give Arisa an idea as to how they could spend the evening.
Odin had never really been camping, not for recreation at least. He had had to hunt in the woods as training, and scout around for missions before, but he had never relaxed in the woods next to a fire. Honestly, it sounded great, "That sounds fantastic, let's see if we can find a nice location." With that, Odin offered his hand for Arisa and, whether to not she took it, he would begin walking out of the shop towards the forests. He knew of a clearing only about an hours walk from where they were, but that gave them time to talk as they made their way there.
"So how have you been? I haven't seen you since Baska, back before the whole business at Crocus occurred. Were you there? Did you see anything that happened?"
Thu Apr 26, 2018 11:47 pm
''You'll be the first to take me camping. I feel like a child.~'' she joked and twirled back after a minute passed of skipping backwards and now she walked forward playfully. Her blonde hair that was up in a simple ponytail bounced upon each skip or hop within the walks. Arisa was trying to distract her mind, but the questionings started. Her eyes cornered and she stopped for a moment and now wondered the same, but if he was on the other side... would he lie to her about it? She coughed for a moment and continued to walk on. ''I was indeed fighting in Crocus, two people in fact... One was very tough and his words... mean a lot to me... upon what he said. The other one was defeated as soon as I got there -- or at least small moments after I got there.'' This was all she was going to detail as she was going to boast towards her defeating the second person... The other people there she didn't really know about. ''What about you, Lucifer?'' she playfully asked.
Fri Apr 27, 2018 1:21 am
As the topic grew more serious, so too did Arisa's expression and movements: trading the playful skipping for simply walking forwards after a moment of pause. She told Odin how she had fought two people in Crocus, one being extremely strong who spoke to her, and the other being defeated soon after she had even arrived at the scene. She gave no indication that would allow Odin to work out who it was that she had fought, and he wished to know, to work out the allegiance of his close friend, but first he had his own questions to answer.
"Yeah I was there too, fighting some people in the castle entrance were my orders, and I managed to succeed. Did you by chance catch the name of the strong guy? Sometimes names carry weight and I might have heard of him."
Fri Apr 27, 2018 1:36 am
She felt, a feeling perhaps that he was on the other side. If he was, she wasn't going to judge, but she would wonder if they were still on opposite sides... as close as they were or so she believed. She tilted her head upwards and remembered the faces of the two men she fought. ''The strong one... was very buff, tall and had a lust for battle. Most importantly he had an eye patch. He... made be think that perhaps I've been fighting for the wrong people... I should seek out more knowledge about Fiore as I'm not from here... The second man -- assuming he's a guy, was invisible, but made people scared, but not me for some reason. Perhaps it was due to strength?'' she questioned it all and it was quite obvious on who's side she was in. Soon enough they'd find a shop on the way to the camping grounds. ''Should we stop here to grab some things? Perhaps food, sleeping bag and the other things?'' she spoke rather lost-like, but twisted to look straight at Lucifer with her pupil-less orbs of gold.
Her eyes gazed towards the building and saw a poster up about some Festival. ''Hey! Look!'' she spoke happily and jogged up to it happily. Her eyes read it as she spoke. ''Some flower festival in Orchidia...'' she quickly turned to look at him. ''We should go there and camp instead. I'm sure we could have more fun there.'' she insisted. ''I can meet up with you there, Lucifer.'' she nodded happily. She'd get to have a festival and a first-time camping trip in one -- there was the fact that she could show him her cafe as well. She waved bye to him in hopes that he too will show up in Orchidia or at least her child-like side was hopeful.

He had decided to tell Arisa about his former allegiance, but he wouldn't get the chance today, as a poster caught her eye, one detailing a flower festival happening in Orchidia that she wished to attend. They decided to postpone their camping trip until they reached the town, and she departed. Odin soon followed after, intending to get to the town as soon as he was able.
