The New (and temporary) Shop Owner (anyone, join)

[Deleted]

Raymond had spent nearly two full days cleaning and reorganizing Roland's treasure shop. While he was gone he figured he would try and run it for his cousin, keep business going and that sort of thing. He sure had a lot of cool stuff, eyeballs, strange furs, armor, weapons, all this incredible stuff from exploring.
A thought struck him, maybe he could not just watch over the shop but add to it too! He could go find rare things and maybe advertise, find and post new marks, maybe hire a few helpers....nah, but the other stuff sounded good!
He smiled to himself as he cleaned the glass chests that held the shiny gems. He would have everything perfect, no better than perfect, for when Roland came back. Then he would beat him finally in an archery competition, forever marking and noting that he had surpassed him in something.

Talia and Yaira had arrived in the city. Upon arrival Talia was so confused as to where to go, how to talk and so on. Also the stares she got from her wings didn't help the unsettling feeling. Not long afterwards Talia declared she wanted to walk around herself for a bit separating herself from Yaira, and hopefully the rest of the town.

Darting to an area with few people Talia sat leaned up against a building trying to figure out her thoughts. She never felt so singled out like that. If anything she'd be staring at other fairies wings not people staring at her own. Talia needed something to take her mind off of things, just explore the city. Glancing down at her small pouch Talia stared wistfully at the few coins she had. Maybe it'd be enough to buy something? She wouldn't know unless she entered a store, sighing a bit, Talia walked into the nearest one.

The store contained countless shiny objects from jewels to weapons to eyeballs to fur, Talia blinked letting her eyes soak up her surroundings. Her attention was soon brought over to a man polishing a glass case. Was he the owner? "Hello?" she asked shyly.

Raymond eyes beamed as he turned quickly, a bit startled but he had heard a voice of a customer?! Excitement filled the young boy. Already he was helping his cousin and he had only just opened the shop!

His eyes only momentarily glanced at the girls wings. Fairy, he had seen and spent time with them before. It was a bit odd however to see one in town, back home anyway, here things were different.

"Hiya!" He said, "I am Raymond, Roland's cousin. I will be taking over in his absence." He wasn't for sure if she was perhaps a regular customer. He held out his hand to shake but soon realized the cleaning cloth was still in his hand. He smiled, growing red, a bit embarrassed. He quickly set the cloth to the side and returned his hand.

Talia smiled at the guy's enthusiasum. Only fairies seemed to be that happy, everyone else she had meet so far seemed a little serious. At least when she first met them.

"Hiya!" He greeted, "I am Raymond, Roland's cousin. I will be taking over in his absence." Raymond held out his hand with the cleaning rag still in palm. Glowing red he placed the rag down and reached his hand back out in a friendly gesture. Talia couldn't help but giggle.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Talia!" she introduced herself as well hopefully with as much gusto as Raymond had done. She had a couple questions like who Roland was but she felt it would be rude asking about who the store owner was. Instead, she decided to start of with a different question.

"Um, I'm looking for some sort of bow... Do you have any weaponry?" she asked rather shyly. It wasn't everyday a fairy, let alone a girl, was asking about a bow Talia guessed. Heck, she wasn't even that great with one but Talia almost felt she needed something else. Being only half magic limited her in using some of her powers. That and she barely knew how to use them. The forest was filled with much more then just nymphs and fairies.

"Something cheap would suffice." she almost squeaked out the last part.

Raymond looked around the shop, he was pretty positive there wasn't any bows here. "Well, Talia, I'm afraid that we don't." He raised a finger in the air. He had an idea. "But I'm certain I can find one for you!" He walked behind the counter. Rummaging through some of the papers. Roland had lists of different shops that he recommended.

He pulled the one out that he was looking for. "Here we go. The Hunting Store," he looked up after reading it. "it's just across the way. I can go with you if you'd like."
