 Sarita's grasp of reading English wasn't perfect, but she knew enough to get by. Her search hadn't been going well so now she found herself having to look for cheap, edible food. It shouldn't be too hard considering how much Mom and her had had to scrape.

He didn't have too much to do, so Aleron liked to go out into the city (and far too often get lost), to explore the human world and get more familiar with it. He was doing better now, not getting lost as much, but mostly he appreciated being largely left alone. Royal family things tended to mean he got a lot of attention back home, no exploring like this.

Today it was a grocery store, and he was currently standing by the meat section, reading the ingredient lists of various brands of hot dogs. He was stuck...to be fair, he was indecisive about things like this, but how was he to know which one was the best? Better ask the lady there. He strode up to the woman, holding himself a little formally compared to everyone in the place. "Excuse me miss. Do you know which of these hot dogs is the best? I'm a bit stuck you see..."

"Que?" she asked in surprise. 'Holy shit that is a very blonde, pale man', she thought to herself. ""I..hot dogs? I don't really know."

Tall, very blond and pale man with an...odd accent. It wasn't very strong, but it was noticeable and one of those impossible to place ones, though it made his english sound a bit stiff sometimes.

He apologized for startling her, and for a moment thought he'd confused her on the hot dog issue. "Ah, no I mean these, not actual dogs, I know they're not dogs, I did read all the ingredients though so I can assure you. I've just never bought them myself before and wanted to know which of these labels were best."

She chuckled, for a moment thinking he was joking. "I know they're not made of dogs, though I never understood the name," she admitted with a bright smile. "I meant I wasn't sure which brand was really the best."

He seemed a bit relieved that he had come across clearly enough and smiled. "Ah, well you see I did not know that at first. I advised my good friend Lockjaw, he's a dog you see, to avoid hot dog stands so he wouldn't need to see such things. But once I learnt they are not, indeed, made out of dogs, I find I've quite learnt to enjoy them."

"Si, I used to talk to my dog back home all the time." Can't really fault the guy for having a conversation with his dog. I mean heck I've done that.

"Oh, Lockjaw is very intelligent, though he eats far too much." To be fair, he hadn't specified that his dog was intelligent in the 'can teleport to requested location' way. "Though I am not sure that I would give him hot dogs even if they are not dog. The name might bother him."

"I can understand that." The dog would know what a hot dog? Okay, try and get off this line of conversation. "ANyway..I don't really know which brand is better, I just tend to go for the one that's cheapest. I don't have a lot of money so I'm thrifty."

"I see...is this store the best on for thriftiness? But regardless, I apologize for taking up your time, perhaps I could help you with the thrifty aspect? I'm unused to the system here, I'd appreciate any help. Of course, I have extra money, I can and shall cover your expenses for your grocery shopping," he gave a friendly smile, living with the FF and with his background, he had enough money for his simple rather everyday wants. And he'd been taught generosity, it certainly didn't hurt to share, not everyone started out in the best position, certainly his father's side hadn't.
