Thread: Precarious Vampiric Encounters ((HaloHeroWolf118 and Miss Alyss))

Edric sighed as his wagon moved through the streets of the tone the horses hooves clacking on the cobblestone street. It had been a long trip back from the west to end up in the small town called Myst he was quite the site to since he wore clothes found more out west where things were less tamed. He ran a hand through his dirty blonde hair as his deep green eyes took in the stone buildings around him near the town square. The people were dressed commonly for the times while Edric stuck out with his boots, blue jeans that were held up by a belt while another carried his pair of revolvers. He wore a vest over his dark blue shirt and a red bandanna was tied around his neck, wore no hat but he picked up the dark brown item once he parked his wagon near the blacksmiths shop. The owner was a grizzled old man by the name of Mark he was big man who had eaten well and often through his life. He was busy fixing the wheel on a coach when Edric pulled up, Hey old man. he called as Mark finally got the wheel on. Who you calling an old man Mark replied running a rag over his bald head. Edric climbed down from the wagon and shook hands with his old friend. Good to see you Edric and I'm glad you took my advice. Mark said smiling though he frowned when Edric didn't return the smile. Well lets get you settled in, I arranged your place as best I could. Mark said as the old blacksmith led Edric back out onto the main street. Their was quite the arrangement of stores an apothecary called Rose and Co. Apothecary was situated between the grocer and woodworkers shops. Mark led Edric to the bakers where his wife worked it wasn't far from the Apothecary his wife was a kind old lady by the name of Jenny. The bakery smelled of fresh baked bread and other treats, Jenny this is Edric the one I told you about. Mark said introducing Edric to his wife who came out of the back carrying a try of fresh bread. Her hair had just begun to grey so Edric could see she had been blonde from the strands of blonde hair still there. Oh hello dear. she said coming up to Edric after putting the tray of bread down to hug him as though he were her own child. So good to meet you at last. she said smiling, And I'm pleased you'll be watching over the store for us. she said. She turned on her husband and that sweet smile was replaced with a boss like frown. And you had better have that coach finished before Dr. Ozzmen needs to make that trip to New York. she said which made her husband sigh and nod before getting chased out. Now as for you I know you had a long trip but I have something in the oven that I can't leave so could you run to the Apothecary for me and pick up the bundle of herbs I ordered? she asked Edric smiling at him motherly. Edric nodded having been quiet through the exchange he wasn't much for talking, he walked to the Apothecary the air was thick with the smell of herbs. His favorite was the peppermint as he approached the little plant and picked a leaf off it to break and give a small whiff. It was nice to be away from his old life he thought as he approached the counter and rang the bell, Hello. he called as he waited for a response.
