The Kid Pirates' vessel clanks against Sabody's shore. Killer disembarks first, purpose etched in his stride. A half-truth lingers between him and Kid, a secret kept close. He navigates the town with brisk efficiency, his gaze sweeping until it locks onto a quaint apothecary-cafe. Intrigue sparks within him; perhaps this holds what he seeks. Pushing through the door, his towering frame nearly eclipses the shelves. He ducks beneath hanging vines, eyes scanning the decor: crystals glint, candles flicker, incense swirls, and herbs line the walls. Patrons sip tea nearby, oblivious to the storm within.
