Alexander carefully pushed aside some curtains as he entered the back room an apothecary's shop. He didn't need to get any medicine, but he did want to talk to the man running the shop. The apothecary looked up and was surprised to see the young man back so soon. "You two wait there." Alexander said, looking back at his two bodyguards who nodded and stood on each side of the door with their backs turned. He let the curtain fall back to its original position before turning to face the old human who was standing up next to a table that had on it beakers and other materials for making concoctions. He smiled a little at him before walking around the room, looking at the shelves and such.
"Ah, Mr. Leonheart. To what may I owe today's visit? Does something ail you?" The apothecary asked, rubbing his hands together nervously as he watched Alexander slowly walk around his back room, looking at his concoctions.
"No, not in the least bit actually," said Alexander as he stopped right in front of the man. "You have a wide selection of potions here, and yet you don't have anything stronger that I could put on my blades? Anything less messy?" he asked, narrowing his eyes slightly while still maintaining his smile.
"O-of course not sir! Not anything that wouldn't induce, ehem, screaming." The apothecary said, looking him straight in the eye. Alexander's expression became one of disappointment, but he nodded. "Very well then." he said before turning around toward the curtain. He walked over and opened it up before pausing and saying with his back turned to the apothecary, without a millimeter of malice in his tone, "Just remember what will happen if I find out you're lying to me."
He then exited the back room and went out the door to the shop with his bodyguards following him.
Saya sighed inwardly as she looked up at the sky. She was currently sitting down in the garden behind the Leonheart manor in a bed of flowers whose colors ranged from pink to light purple to light sky blue. As she was seated there, she recalled the first time she had ever gone there.
"Come on, sit!"
"Won't it hurt them?"
"... That's annoying. They're only plants. If you're so worried about it, just sit on me."
She blinked, setting the memory aside as she remembered why she was out there in the first place. Some of the flowers inside had wilted, so she had come to get replacements. She stood up and straightened out her dress before going over to a bush of blue roses. She carefully clipped the stems from the bush and collected the flowers until both of her hands were full, clippers included. She walked back inside and found the area where the wilted flowers were. She took the old flowers out and replaced them with the newly clipped ones.
Once she was finished with that task, she made her way to the kitchen. Once she arrived, her eyes widened slightly in surprise as the door swung open. The servant who opened it looked surprised as well.
"Ah! I was just about to go searching for you. The pantry is beginning to run a bit low on fruit. Please go to the market and pick some up for us dear." The woman said, handing her a list of food items they needed.
"Alright." Saya said, nodding to the old lady before taking the list and walking back down the hallway.
