ASTRID SHADOWBANE.
As I stood on my own feet, my thoughts went back to the man who caught me from falling. I quickly pushed that thought to the back of my mind, and made my way into the butcher shop.
The moment I stepped in, I was welcomed by the auroma of dry aged meat, As I walked in, the butcher looked at me from head to toe and said, his tone nasally like he is talking through his nose.
"Well hello there young lady, what kind of meat are you looking for?" making my way to the counter slowly, with a confident gait.
"Hello sir, I would like to buy some jerky," I looked around as the man started packing the jerky, and after a couple minutes, the man said in his nasally tone.
"Packed and ready young lady, and that'll be 30 bronze." Reaching the insides the cloak, my heart dropped as I couldn't feel the money pouch, I searched all over my coat, didn't find anything, I even searched my bag, and found nothing.
Then the shopkeeper looked at me said, in a knowing tone. "Lemme guess, can't find your money pouch huh?" He said it like he already knew. "Maybe I should put a warning sign at the entrance." Talking to himself.
I looked straight into his eyes and said with a slight frown on my face.
