HERO
Amaki was weaving through the crowds of people in the busy market-like streets, a small smile on her face as some would look at her. This wasn't like the usual brash HERO, but these were civilians so she had to blend in with them as much as possible. Yet, even just from being from a different region, she stuck out like a sore thumb here. With the sunlight in her eyes, she had to wince, more than most people due to her abilities and fought the urge to react when people would bump into her.
It didn't take long for their building to come into view, because like the leader, the flower shop stood out as well. It once blended it with the rest of the stores, but then the creeping vines started growing up the sides until you couldn't see the original structure. Tourists to the area would probably believe that the building itself was just a giant plant that had made room for the doors and windows.
Once she arrived at the door, she nodded to the fellow shopkeepers at the neighboring stores; they each had a little bond where they would watch each others' stores while one way away. They were a trustworthy little bunch, even if the void user felt bad for unknowingly dragging them in, she was glad that they were there.
Pulling the key out of her basket, she unlocked the store and entered into the dark and cool building. Sunlight still poured in through the windows, but not quite as much with the vines borders the edges. The aroma of flowers was strong and comforting to the girl; it almost reminded her of home when she would play outside in the flowers there. Setting her basket down, she went over to the open/closed sign and flipped it open as she turned on the lights for the inside of the store. She then went back to the counter to put away the materials in the basket.
