The store was full of hunting items. Bows, arrows, daggers, spears, and other weapons. The store also had hunting maps, woodland camouflages, water skins, packs, medical kits, and a lot of other hunting gear.
"Does your father own this store?" Matt asked Nari.
"Actually, I do. I run it and clean. I buy the stock and make sure there are new sales and items every once in a while."
"Why would your father have you run the store?"
"Because...he doesn't live in the village. He's fighting in Slamon's army," replied Nari.
"What about your mother?"
"I never knew my mother. She left us after I was born." Matt hadn't any idea what it was like not knowing your mother. He suddenly felt pity for Nari. A young girl without a mother whose father is far away.
"I'm fine on my own. I can go out whenever I want and hunt and eat whatever I want. Now come, I'll show you upstairs." They went through a door behind the counter and up the stairs behind that door.
The house had one bedroom, a kitchen, and a living room. The bedroom had a single mattress and a small cupboard. The kitchen had a small stove and a counter with groceries on it. The living room had a table and a few chairs. That was it.
"I don't have much. I don't really need much because I'm never really home.," Nari said. After a short tour, Matt got hungry. He realized he hadn't eaten for a full day.
"If you have nowhere to stay, which I'm guessing you don't, you can check Piggy Banc Hotel. They have a resturaunt on the ground floor."
