Day 70: Bill's Hardware (Morning)

[from here]

The store itself seemed typical enough to Al, though certainly he didn't recognize a few of the tools offered here. He looked around for a moment, then turned back to Anise. "Did you need to get anything from here, too?"

Alphonse stepped forward to make his purchase once Anise was finished, and was left with nine dollars on his card. He thanked the cashier and then looked to Anise. "So, where to now?"

Anise held her bag close to herself with a smile. "Well... I should probably look for my friend, Luke. Do you know him? He's got short red hair, maybe a little older than you, kind of slow on the uptake?" The description was a little more honest than it needed to be, but the smile on Anise's face didn't budge.

Al frowned a little, shaking his head. "I'm sorry, I haven't seen anyone like that. I hope you can find him; when was the last time you saw him?"

[gald_digger]

From Alphonse’s sympathetic response, Anise realized some clarification was in order. “Oh, I don’t mean he’s missing! I just have something I need to talk to him about. If you see him, can you tell him I’m looking for him?” Anise hoped she would run into Luke before that, but it wouldn’t hurt to have another pair of eyes on the lookout, in case she missed him.

"Oh!" Well, now he felt a bit silly. "Sure, I'll let him know, no problem!"

[gald_digger]

“Great! Thank you!” Anise looked pleased. It was important to find Luke as soon as possible, but with her, Guy, and now Alphonse on the case, she was sure they’d find each other before the day was done.

“I better get going. I’ll see you tonight, okay?”

[armoredsoul]

Al nodded with a smile. "Yeah, see you then!"
