Ben enjoyed the rest of their conversation and happily spent his time filling her basket, grabbing a couple of extra items for himself that he didn't even intend coming in for, blasted impulse.

The woman was nearly done beyond her last more controlled purchase from behind the counter and seemed like she might wish to make that by herself, so he would acquiesce and make his exit. "Been a pleasure, Miss. Hope you have a good day and not too much trouble with any steps on your way back." from her ingredients he had a couple of guesses what she was concocting, and at least one or two of them would be a mortal sin to even query with a stranger, particularly a woman, so he would not invade her privacy further.

He paid for his items and doffed his head to her before heading for the door. "Might see you around Hunter's if you need anything for the household pets." and off her went back into the world.
