Artemis deemed it too bothersome to stick around, and she bounded away lightly, snapping briefly at a butterfly that came too close. The following splash meant that she'd decided it was too warm to stay on dry land, so Ari turned his body slightly so that he could keep an eye on his dog (though she was great at swimming), and still keep conversation.
"Mm, you should probably make an appearance for a checkup, at least," he told her, "it doesn't cost anything; you'd only need to pay if you were sick and needed medicine."
He was well-aware that money was often an issue, and since he wasn't completely sure, it was best to just tell her the details bluntly. Ari could've charged for checkups, but it was easier to let people have a checkup free of charge and then see if they needed treatment for anything. Medicine cost money, and using more advanced equipment cost money - but he had managed to figure out a way to have people come to him for free if they were concerned. It was one of the perks of being located in a small town; he could be friendlier in his work, in a way.

Bewildered Lucy shook her head Ha... No one's usually this nice to me... she certainly didn't want to go to the doctors even of Ari was going to give her a check up free of charge. "Oh no really... Thanks for the offer, but if I've never been to a doctors, then I don't see the need to start going now... Although if I ever need help I can use my own remedies." She smiled, cheerily, and bowed slightly. Lucy was quite old fashioned, because of her upbringing, and didn't usually realise when she washing something outdated. Although she didn't say it outloud, Lucy hated the doctors and had a huge fear of them. Ever since the old woman who had looked after her had died in a doctors surgery, she had promised herself never to go into a hospital, or anything of the sort, again.

That was something he'd heard before; it usually didn't go well for people, since plants couldn't help with everything. Technology had advanced over the years, and he wanted people to start realising that doctors were there to help, and had far more medical knowledge; but he decided not to say anything. Instead, he shrugged.
"Okay. Just come to me if you feel bad even after using your own remedies," Ari told her, still watching his dog from the corner of his eye. She was having a good time (though she was probably scaring away any fish), and he was trying to think of a way to get her back through the office. Muddy pawprints were awful. He supposed he could let her stay outside to dry off, maybe take her to the forest so that she would be in shade.

Ari found himself doubting that she'd come to his clinic, but he didn't mind. He wasn't going to chase someone down solely because they were sick; in the end, it was their choice, and he had not much of a say in it. If they declined treatment or a checkup then that was on their own backs.
"Eh," he shrugged idly, "I'm not sure. I spend most of my time walking Artemis or reading. There's the Egg Festival soon, though. That's pretty decent."
He really didn't know what to say; his life revolved around working and his dog, and if he did have the rare spare time, then he'd just read.

"80 for eel, 85 for halibut." Irena said, putting the fish in her hands back into the bucket with the others. She wiped her slimy hands on her jeans and turned to Lucy. "Hey Lucy. I zink I am sold out today; it seems Ari is buying rest of my catch." She shot her a grin and said "I vill fish again tomorrow zough." Irena was still pleased, as business wasn't usually this great. Sometimes she ended up taking her catch home to fry up herself.

For a moment, he'd almost forgotten he was here buying fish. Ari snorted at himself before he counted out the money, and then shrugged - he handed over two hundred, instead of one hundred and sixty five. It was a bad habit to overpay people around here, but hey! They worked hard for their money, so it was worth it.
"Keep the change," he told her firmly, "thank you. Where are you usually, when you're selling fish? I'd like to be able to buy more."
If he had realised sooner (and he really should've) that there was someone actively selling fish, he would've pounced on it. Instead, he'd been going to the store. Hmm. He still had reasons to go there (since it had essentials, and he hated Joja Mart), but having a much fresher supply of fish was useful. Plus, Artemis could be spoiled.

"Spasiba!" Irena responded in thanks as she put the money away. At the next question she had to think for a moment. Her tramping grounds encompassed pretty much all of Pelican Town, and even the farm. Really anywhere she could find potential buyers. "You can find me at Stardrop Saloon; I sell most fish zere. Uzer time I valk around town, or sell at farm." she pointed a blue thumb over her shoulder as she said this, towards the west where the farm was.
"Zank to Ari I have more cash." she said, turning her head to speak to Lucy. "Come get drink vith me at Saloon, on me." she added with her signature wink.

"Soon," Ari said, mostly to be mysterious but also because he didn't have the faintest. He felt like it was the thirteenth, but he wasn't confident enough.
His focus returned to Irena even as he tapped his fingers against the side of his leg. A loud splash told him that Artemis had been watching, because the large dog darted over to stand by him, dripping wet. He patted her idly - it was the only dry part of her - and nodded slightly.
"Alright. I'll come find you from time to time," he smiled faintly. "Efharisto."

(Thank you guys ^.^ I'm feeling well enough to do at least one post)
The clerk quietly accepted the coins, definitely not one to object receiving extra money. "Have a nice day, miss" he said, then turned his attention back to the witch. Celestine was eager to get on with her own purchase. Or to just steal something, maybe she could get away with that.
Jolene smiled even more. "A cat would be a perfect pet for a library!" she exclaimed. "Would you like to look at the mother? She should be around here somewhere.....Unless you have to get back home, of course."
"Thanks ladies!", Cyrus said happily. The two women had cheered him up immediately, and that made him give a big smile. "Who would you recommend?" he laughed in an almost joking manner.
Finn stared a little before realizing that Mika was referring to his hat. "Oh, yes! Thank you!" he said hastily. He waved as the other man left, a little sad that he was being left alone but also relieved. Social interactions wore him out. "Oh, it'll be time for my shift at JojaMart soon..." he groaned quietly to himself.

[ rip.......tfw too lazy to dig up my coding oh well ]
Going to the Saloon seemed like a decent idea; he hadn't been there before, now that he thought about it. It had never seemed like his thing, but he supposed that trying out new things would be fine. He glanced at Artemis and considered it, before shrugging lightly.
"Sure," he said, "I don't see why not."
It would give Artemis time to lay out and dry her fur off, so there was absolutely nothing wrong with the idea. If anything, it was a good idea; his dog could cause some real mud problems in the little apartment he had above the clinic, and the mud would stay for months.

Turning to Ari she added "You should come as vell, ve can have party."

(Sooo is everyone gonna come and rp with Naomi now? Since she works at the Saloon XD)
Cyrus laughed, rolling his eyes at BB's comment. He had no problem with homosexuality, but he still didn't roll that way. "I'm sure there are. Time to hit up a dating site!" he joked. They were approaching the Saloon, and pretty soon he would have to focus on selling parsnips. But the subject kept poking the back of his mind.

Cyrus chuckled at that. "You guys seem like a great couple," he said honestly. And he meant it; Sham was always smiling, and BB seemed happy today as well. It was putting him in a joking kind of mood. "Fool-proof plan, you say? I would LOVE to hear it!"

[ LOL im in the catering industry and i was like "wow..........................thats a buff lady" AND THEN I JUST ASSUMED THAT MAYBE SHE'D CUT THEM UP SO IT WAS PIECES RATHER THAN ANYTHING ELSE... lol
happy pride month (': ]
Ari snorted softly and murmured some gentle commands to Artemis in his native tongue. She perked her ears and stared blankly, before darting off towards a tree with shade, turning around a few times before she settled down. It was definitely in view of the Saloon, so she'd know when he was back.
He smiled vaguely as he followed the two women, hands in his pockets. Yeah, okay, this was fine. He didn't really have friends in this village, os this was...strange? He supposed. It had always been his dog and himself, and then anyone who spoke to him were his patient. It was just how things went.
