Archer approached Hecate, and when she looked up, she smiled before greeting him. "Hello My Love. What bring's you here?"
"Our date. You mentioned needing ingredients, so here I am." Archer replied.
The moon elf smiled when she heard him and nodded before turning to Eione, who was stocking shelves. ''Could you watch the shop for a couple of hours? I'm going to get some stock.''
The maid remarked, "So, you're going on a date with your lover, and you want us to cover for you?"
With her words hanging in the air, the petite moon elf maid smiled cheerfully at Hecate before diligently returning to her tasks.
Witnessing this, Archer couldn't contain his laughter. Hecate glanced at him, and he couldn't help but notice a subtle blush on her cheeks.
His smile widened as he addressed Eione, "Yes, I'm taking her on a date, but first, we're buying stuff for the shop."
Eione turned to him with narrowed eyes and answered. ''I will watch the shop, young master.''
''Just call me Archer,'' He quickly replied, which caused the maid to nod. Hecate felt relieved as the maid didn't give him a dirty look.
Happy with the situation, he took her hand, led the moon elf out of the shop, and went to the nearest alchemist store.
Archer and Hecate stepped onto the snowy streets, greeted by the hushed crunch of snow beneath their boots.
The air was crisp and filled with the serene quiet often accompanying a snowy day. Flakes drifted gently from the overcast sky, creating a soft, enchanting curtain around them.
While they were walking down the snowy street, Hecate inquired. ''Are you okay with buying the stuff? The shop earns enough coin.''
Archer chuckled and answered with a smile. ''I have more than enough gold to last me a lifetime. Buying you ingredients for the shop is the least I can do.''
They continued as the crisp winter air tingled against their cheeks. Fluffy snowflakes descended from the gray sky, coating the world in a serene white blanket.
The soft crunch of snow beneath their boots added a rhythmic melody to their stroll. As they ambled along, the quaint town bustled with activity.
People bundled up in scarves and coats, their breath visible in the chilly air, hurried to and fro.
Merchants displayed their wares in shop windows adorned with twinkling lights, adding a touch of festive charm to the winter scene.
Archer and Hecate exchanged occasional smiles, absorbing the lively atmosphere around them.
Children, their faces aglow with excitement, engaged in playful snowball fights, creating miniature battles along the street.
The aroma of roasted meat wafted from a nearby vendor, tempting passersby with its warm, inviting scent.
The older woman's eyes widened at the revelation, a momentary surprise flickering across her face.
However, a broad grin appeared on the shopkeeper's face before Archer could utter a word. She burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the once-quiet shop.
"Well, well! A bit of competition, eh?" she exclaimed, still chuckling. "Congratulations, Hecate! Looks like you've shaken up the old potion trade in Starfall City. I appreciate the bold move."
Hecate, taking the unexpected turn in stride, grinned proudly. "Thank you. It's all about innovation, after all."
The shopkeeper extended her hand, shaking Hecate's with genuine admiration. "I like your spirit, young lady. May your potions bring as much magic to the city as your audacity has brought to my shop today."
Archer couldn't help but join in the laughter as he took out the pouch of gold and handed it to the shopkeeper.
She happily took it with a smile before speaking. ''Thank you for your purchase.''
''You're welcome.'' Archer answered.
That's when the shopkeeper gestured to the empty shelves. "Well, if you ever need more ingredients, you know where to find me. It seems Starfall City has a new potion master in town. Best of luck to you both!"
Archer led Hecate through the snowy streets until they arrived at a charming elven restaurant in the city's heart.
The soft glow of enchanted lanterns adorned the entrance, casting a warm and inviting ambiance.
The air was infused with the delightful aroma of elven spices and herbs as they entered. The interior was adorned with elegant elvish décor, creating an enchanting atmosphere.
Musicians played soft melodies in the background, adding to the experience. Archer and Hecate looked at the menu at a table draped in beautiful fabric.
The dishes were a fusion of exotic flavors, incorporating rare herbs and enchanted ingredients.
As they settled into their seats at the elven restaurant, a graceful waitress appeared, her elven features exuding an otherworldly elegance.
She handed them the menu, adorned with intricate elvish script detailing the enchanting dishes.
Archer, ever the enthusiast, looked at Hecate with a mischievous grin and turned to the waitress. "We'll have one of everything, please."
The waitress blinked, momentarily taken aback by the audacious order. Hecate's eyes widened in surprise, a mixture of shock and amusement playing on her features.
"One of everything?" the waitress repeated, her voice tinged with incredulity and amusement.
Archer chuckled, undeterred by the raised eyebrows. "Yes, one of everything. We're here to experience the full elven feast."
The waitress nodded with a playful smile, recovering from her surprise. "Very well. A feast it shall be."
As the woman walked away to convey the order to the kitchen, Hecate couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Archer and Hecate lingered in the cozy restaurant ambiance, Archer's keen eyes caught a subtle change in the atmosphere.
He glanced toward the window, where delicate snowflakes drifted down from the sky, painting the world outside in a soft blanket of white.
