Day 35: Bill's Hardware

Kagura walked hesitantly into the store, following Leon and trying to remain unobtrusive.  The place was full of stuff she knew nothing about, but she kind of liked the woodsy smell it had.  She did as she'd been told and walked up to the counter, hoping to speak with the large man who worked there. 

"Um, hello sir," she said politely.  "It's okay if we look around, isn't it?  It's a very nice shop."

Perry, who had been wiping down the check-out counter as they entered, gave the newcomers a great big friendly smile (as well as an extra nod of the head to Kagura). "You feel free to look around to your heart's content, little lady."

The girl seemed a bit young to be the man's girlfriend. He might have thought them siblings, except they looked nothing alike. None of his business, he supposed. "You folks after anything in particular?"

"That's so nice of you," Kagura replied, offering a polite smile in return and looking at the array of things on the front counter. "I'm not really looking for anything in particular," she admitted, hoping to hold the man's attention with a few questions at least. She tried to keep her attention focused on the shop keeper and not Leon.

"My friend kind of dragged me along. To be honest I don't know a lot about much of anything here. The most I've really done was help my cousin with some home repairs last summer, but I do love arts and crafts. Do you have anything simple maybe? I'm not very good with the difficult things. Something to pretty up a room perhaps?"

Leon was only half-listening as Kagura chatted with the cashier. She'd do fine, he was sure. He drifted away from the conversation, idly examining the various tools scattered about. He lingered near the claw hammers, but knew that trying to smuggle something like that back to the Institute would be fruitless. He'd lose the hammer and get sedated for his trouble.

There were a couple other men chatting quietly near a rack of tools, and Leon rather suspected their aims were similar to his. He slowly moved in their direction, hoping that the three of them could work together to get a few items.
