We came to a nearby establishment, a few walks from the place we just came from, that he found interesting. Of course, knowing Lukas, his version of that would be different from mine and I was damn right.

Outside, I could already see the stuff the place was selling because of the glass windows. What I could make out of, by all means. It's a weapons shop, I can just tell from the swords.

After entering the shop, the idea got even more cemented for I was greeted with the sight of blades in different sizes and appearances. Yeah, blades. Everywhere you look, there are only blades. Swords... Bayonets... Daggers... Knives... Axes... you name it. It's all here.

I looked around curiously but I didn't dare touch anything. Just looking at them, I could already tell how incredibly sharp they are. I have this illusion that the edges were winking at me, glinting from the scarce light that reaches them. It's like they are telling me they are deadly so I better not do something funny.

I bet if I did slightly touch it with the tip of my finger, it would immediately slice my skin off and draw blood.

I'm clearly exaggerating but you know... it kind of freaks me out seeing a lot of sharp blades in one place. It sends cold shivers down my spine!

What if I accidentally trip on my feet and land flatly on one of these shelves? Oh, dear...

That would be such a tragic way to die. Being impaled. Brrr!

"You like anything?" Lukas uttered next to me.

"Geebers!" I gasped and glared at him– "Sheez!"

I almost jumped away because of his sudden appearance which further made my knees buckle under my dress. This bastard... Can't he at least let me know his presence first and not talk out of the blue? What if, due to shock I knocked a blade off and stabbed myself?

Oh gosh, let's not go there.

"No, I don't. Why are we here?" I responded after calming my chaotic heartbeat down.

"Because it's interesting," he automatically replied.

"Ugh..." I grumbled and rolled my eyes heavenward.

I knew he would answer like that but it still makes me frustrated.

"Hmm... This one looks neat," he mumbled as he picked up a dagger on the display.

In the next seconds, he started playing with it with his right hand. Flipping it casually in the air and fiddling it over his fingers. I was just there, watching him at the side with wide eyes. I don't even know whether to be impressed or fear for his life or his hand in general.

One shouldn't play with sharp things such as daggers! What is he doing? What if he accidentally cut himself?

But wow... that's so cool though...

Still... kids, never try this at home, alright? Not just kids, you all should not attempt doing what this crazy man is doing. Love yourself!

"Should I buy this?" He then asked me while he played with it. His eyes were glued at me and my damn anxiety could never!

At least look at your hands!

"Why are you asking me?" I replied just as quickly, marveling at how skillful his fingers are.

Okay, that came out wrong.

Lukas's left brow quirked lightly, "No? Okay then," and placed the dagger back to its rightful place.

Shaking my head, I muttered, "Seriously..."

Lukas then looked around once more before he grabbed my hand again and tugged me outside to leave the shop.
