Ahaha, fun... Having just barely recovered from the highly emotional turmoil that was teatime with Morgana, Bernhard was thrown into another anxious extasy over the failure to bring Zephy back to his side where she belonged. Which means in hindsight, she's still running around loose in Sutalör's biggest city, while her Master and Wielder is left all alone; tired, worn out, and worried over her at MAX. Bernhard facepalms, then looks up to the darkening sky above him. Yes he knows Zephy will eventually return to him, that's for certain, too meaningful is their bond for her to say 'Screw you' and abandon him. After all, he was the one who found and fred her, at the cost of...
...Nope, she wouldn't do that.
.........Right?
At least she's having her fun decorating and painting the city to her heart's content on her Night's Out, masterly so - yes he stopped to take a picture of the artwork Zephy left behind in the sand and on the white brick wall for records and to show silent appreciation - he got to give Zephy that much. It's definitely a better fate than remaining locked away in her PremierBall for the duration of teatime, and definitely x2 better (as in more convenient for Bernhard) to handle an exhausted but satisfied-with-herself birdmouse than a sulky and pouting one, putting aside the news and rumors in town over 'The Mysterious Rampaging Artist' that'll follow for sure. But oh well, it's not like Bern isn't used to hide and conceal Zephy from prying eyes.
No sense in mulling over it or further exhaust oneself via a fruitless search for the Mythic-on-the-run, least Bernhard risks further magical and physical exhaustion. And so he gets up from the bench, wanders a bit, and eventually comes by a TM Store, still open at these hours! How fortunate! Looking through things and offers, he opts to buy the following:
1. Toxic (Single Use, Daily Special) - $ 2500
2. Hail (Single Use, Princely Prizes) - $10000
3. Aurora Veil (Single Use, Princely Prizes) - $5000
--> Total of $17500, which he pays without batting an eye. Swords Dance would make a very fine move for Nirix to make his Psycho Cuts even more DEVASTING - but Bernhard resists, not wanting to spend all his cash at once. Myra will likely rejoice over a second gift and the means to super badly poison(!!!) something, while Hail and Aurora Veil sound like fine compensation to Zephy; after all Bernhard feels he owes her an apology for having tried to lock her away. With good intention so, but still.
He doesn't leave right away though. "A few questions for you, if I may", he eventually opens up, after having tapped the counter with his gauntleted fingers in silence for quiiiite a while. Long enough to perhaps make the staff on the other side of the counter nervous or intimidated. But Bernhard knows very well that his people have fantastic relations with the Settlers (thank you, Scholar and Acrowls!), and he knows likewise very well how to make good use of these relations.
"First up, reasons prevent me from heading over to my home-islands for now, so I'll be staying over at your city for the night and for now. Plus, I do have business here in Bayhama. You know of any places to find rest and tranquility for the time being?" Yes he knows there are rooms at the Pokemon Centers, but these are for the common people. He'll opt for that though, if there's no way around it of if he can't afford a better stay for my remaining cash.
"Second, do you, by pure coincidence or words of it, know of any stores that are leaning towards the...more magical and 'shady' side? Since I could always~ use some further recipes and ingredients for my alchemistic creations." Read: Bernhard inquires about any stores or marketplaces that could be of use for a Scimitar, as well as sort-of grey or semi-legal stores that are unavailable for Tourists. Perhaps there they'd also sell parts of Pokemon as ingredients behind closed doors, so he doesn't need to find and slaughter them for parts himself?
"Third, and last, art enthusiasis and collectors, private or publical ones. You know any of these in the nearby area? For I do have some pieces they might be...inclined to buy for their enjoyment or display." Perhaps he could handle out more cash from these in return for some of the artworks Zephy created than if he'd sell them regularly.
