Try to relax. Yes that's what she was trying to do and after many deep breaths, she did. Kaneko relaxed, closed her eyes and waited patiently. She felt his hand beneath her wrist then two cool fingers atop her wrist. Feeling, searching. It really did feel like she was going to get a shot from a nurse, except it wasn't your traditional shot and it wasn't from a nurse. She would be fine though, she kept telling herself that in her head. He'd never hurt her. She remembered her father telling her Allen would just turn on her one day and kill her, that was just before the events leading to his arrest. No, she didn't want to believe him. Allen would never kill her would he? No, because he wasn't like the older one. Just then she felt it, a piercing, sharp pain. It wasn't as painful as she anticipated, but it still hurt a bit. Kaneko bit her lip gently, keeping herself in a relaxed state as to not disturb Allen.

Her wrist? This was unexpected, but it was probably the safer option right? "Oh...o-okay." She answered, her voice soft, quiet. Kaneko looked at her wrists and held one out for him. This was it, this was actually going to happen. She had to relax, she had to breathe calmly. It was like when you got a shot, if you were tense, it hurt more. Maybe being bitten was the same thing? She couldn't help but be nervous though, she'd never been bitten before. Kaneko knew her father would freak if he knew that Allen was going to bite her. Thankfully, he was in prison and they'd be long gone by the time he was free once more.

Why were there so many hairbrushes? They all served the same purpose so what was the difference between the bristles. See, guys had it easy, they just used a comb. Nothing to it really. Girls were picky though. He'd been around enough of them growing up to know that every girl always had to get the 'perfect' thing. Whether it be a brush, perfume, clothes. Guys usually didn't care about how they looked, but he wasn't sure that was a good thing. Certainly not something to be proud of. Clint looked at her when she spoke up. "The body wash?" He asked then facepalmed himself. "Ohhh right! Right, sorry it slipped my mind as well. Probably should have made a list. It's called a 'Shopping list' for a reason Clint." He muttered, scratching the back of his head nervously. "But at least we found the hairbrushes!" He said, gesturing towards them. So many choices, he imagined this was overwhelming for her. Once she had picked one though, Clint didn't know what was left to really get. "So uhh....what's next?" He asked her.

What was she smirking about? Maybe she found him amusing? Maybe he was talking too much? He didn't know. Picking out a blue 'medium' toothbrush, he tossed it in with his toothpaste and guessed their next step was a hairbrush. Okay, that stuff had to be here with the shampoo right? It made sense that something for your hair be in the same isle as stuff used to wash your hair. "Okay, hairbrushes should be around here somewhere. Or maybe they're in the next isle. Probably since I don't see them here." Clint said. Maybe they were in the next isle. "Come on, let's go check the next isle out. Maybe we will find you a hairbrush there." He said to her, leading the way over. When they rounded the corner, he say hairdye. "Aha, hairdye. Hairbrushes have to be in this isle here. Have to be."

Kaneko blinked. Was he actually going to? No way. After a brief moment of hesitation, her feet carefully made their way around to her side of the bed where she slipped back in and sat comfortably. She hoped she wasn't forcing him to do this. He could have said no, well at first it did sound like he had refused but now... Now it sounded as if he were actually considering it. How much would it hurt? She trusted that he wouldn't hurt her but it still had to hurt a little right? She remembered something else he had said, he wasn't sure if he would be able to control himself. Was he that thirsty right now? Well he probably hadn't fed yesterday and today he had lost a lot of blood so it made sense that he'd be craving this badly right now. Kaneko trusted him though, of that she was sure. She wouldn't have offered if she didn't trust him as much as she did.

"Good choice." Clint told her after watching her pick a Spearmint Colgate one. "Alright, toothbrush! I'm getting a new one because you're supposed to get a new one every so often. Not sure if people actually do that though, but I do because you don't want to keep using the same brush for over a month. That's pretty gross." He explained. "I'm going to get medium softness so that I don't tear my gums when I brush. Soft is...too soft. That's like for kids so I suggest you get medium as well. You can see what they are at the top of the packaging. See?" Clint grabbed a random toothbrush that said 'Soft' at the top. "Just look for the word 'Medium' and you'll be all set." He explained to her, trying to be helpful. Hopefully he wasn't being annoying though.

Kaneko's eyes shone, he was going to let her have a garden on her own! How exciting! "Yes well I know it won't be easy but that's okay because it will be fun and I'll do my best to make sure the plants don't die." Maybe Allen could help her get started. Once they had their own little place though of course. A place that they could call home and not have to worry about anyone finding them. That's what she thought. It never occurred to her that vampires and vampire hunters could very well be living in the area they left to. She never thought that they could very much be anywhere. "Well yes, everything in here would be considered an antique." Kaneko admitted with a smile. Everything here was so old, it held an untold story and that's what people found so fascinating about these types of things. Was Allen really prepared to leave all of this behind? Once they left, there was no turning back. Allen explained to her that his craving, or thirst as she called it, was worsening. It was getting much more serious and he made a very good point, hunting was out of the question in his current condition. "W-well...at least you're not in any pain and...t-the offer still stands." She whispered the last part. "We'll leave shortly. I'll just go and collect some books to take with us, alright? You just rest here. We will...we'll figure something out Allen." They had to. He could always hunt once he was better, but how long would that take?

Clint watched Maddie go around and look at the different kinds of shampoo. It wasn't surprising to see her open and sniff them either since he was guilty of doing that too when he bought shampoo and conditioner. Females had a larger array of scents where as men didn't. She ended up picking one and grabbing the matching conditioner. How cute. Now it was on to toothpaste. Clint looked at the different ones and picked up a box for himself then looked at her when she spoke to him. "Oh, well I've used this one, this one, and most recently this one with baking soda in it. Crest and Colgate, those are the best brands. But if you have sensitive teeth then Sensodyne is your best bet. It's a really good brand too. I've used it once or twice before, really good." He explained to her. Yes he was giving her options. He wasn't going to just tell her to buy a certain one, the choice was hers to make. He was just there to help narrow down the many options to the ones he personally preferred.

"Mhm! I've always wanted to have a garden of my own. But I was never allowed. My mother never liked it and my father never let me try." She shrugged, carefully putting the herbs away in a plastic bag. Books on herbs? Well it would come in handy. Think of all the kinds of herbal teas and remedies she could learn about? Maybe the books would even tell her where to find certain herbs. "I did see the books but I didn't recognize the titles." She admitted with a nervous smile. Reading. It wasn't something she did often. Before, she never really had much of a chance. Between washing the dishes, doing the laundry, cleaning the house, preparing the meals, and going to work, there wasn't really a time set for reading. Maybe this time it would be different though. She still would be doing the same things but maybe now she'd be able to find some time to read. Maybe while Allen slept she could read a few pages before bed. "I'll grab a couple of them. They should come in handy." She couldn't take too many of them though, as much as she wanted to. "H-how are you feeling by the way?" She asked after the herbs had been put away.

It was loud in there. The store had the radio on and people were talking to one another, greeting each other. They all seemed happy. All of them were unaware of two people who had just entered the store, but that was good. Maddie didn't want the attention and neither did Clint. He made his way towards the hygienic isle where he knew they'd find shampoo and conditioner. "Alright, have a looksie and pick out something you like. I think they have toothpaste here too." Clint commented, looking around for some. He was out of toothpaste himself so he might as well by himself a few things too since he was here already. Besides, he was paying it all together anyway so it was fine. He could hear kids run past the isle, probably grabbing a last minute snack before they had to leave. He remembered doing that a lot when he was a kid.
