I've been here for a few weeks now, working in this shop for the butcher. A few days ago he packed up and left, probably going out to a bigger city. He gave me the shop and now I own it." he lied. He could tell she didn't trust him. "I'm not really 'from' anywhere, I spent all my life flying up in a ship, that's how my family is, we're born on the ships and we spend our lives flying through the universe, specifically targeting this planet. I've never known why, could've been research." he shrugged.
