Up until now, Gara hadn't named his Merchant House. He knew how terrible he was at coming up with names.
Herb House was what their partners had casually called them, but that was never official and honestly, it didn't sound right for a proper shop name.
Seeing her master lost in thought, Hilda didn't interrupt. Names were important. A shop's name would follow them forever.
A shop's name… Gara mused.
In his previous world, shops, restaurants, or similar establishments often took their names from the owner's children, or from short forms of their own names.
My children's names… or a mix of it? Gara considered the idea seriously.
The silence stretched for several minutes. It might have felt dull for anyone else, but Hilda simply waited, patient and professional.
Finally, Gara spoke.
"I'll name it… Alrova Shop."
It was taken from Aldwin for Al, Arion for ro, and Ava for va.
"That's a fine name, Master," Hilda praised with a composed smile.
