[And today it isn't Recette standing behind the counter but Dunleavy. She smiles though, she's getting better at the shop keeper business.] Hello, can I help you?
I was just wondering about some things from back home. [Oh jesus, has she been instructed on this.] I was sent by a friend who told me you guys can do that kind of stuff?
[She smiles again hoping to put him at ease, he sounded nervous though Dunleavy had no idea why he would be.] I help out sometimes, I am Dunleavy yes. [It was so strange for him to use Madam but then her first name, when she still felt strange about anyone outside of her family and Taro using it.
Shields were called by their family name, but she wasn't exactly a shield anymore. She tried not to think about that too much.] You are Jake English, correct?
[Since she knows exactly what she wants and has no idea where to find it, she heads straight for Recette.]
Hello! I'm here to buy a moon dream party pendant, can I get one here? [While she's talking, she'll just be... sniffing around. Literally. Something in here smells amazing. Like... red things.]
[Its more that he still has some lingering social anxiety when meeting new people here. Its nothing personal really, he's lived on an island his whole life.]
Yes! Yes, that is me. [Wow, she knew who he was? That was pretty cool.]
I have a few inquiries, if that is all right. [He digs in his pocket and pulls out his bright green iphone. Luckily the screen is off since it went dead like a week and a half ago.]
I'd like to know what I might get for this if I sell it.
[Jane takes a folded piece of paper out of her pocket, and hands it to Dunleavy. This is such a silly request. But these things are necessary. Plus Jake taught her how to do this.]
Hello [Dunleavy smiled at the troll, why was she smelling the shop? She kept her smile though and didn't let her confusion show on her face] Yes you can, they are twelve raks.
[Dunleavy made a point to try and learn the names of as many of her citizens as possible, plus he had changed Players a few times during the tounament.
She no longer thinks technology is weird, okay she does but she's used to seeing it.] One moment
[She starts searching through some lists, because unlike Recette she doesn't know the selling price of everything.] You will get fourteen raks for that.
[Dunleavy sighed, reminded herself that these kids had to learn to make their own mistakes and deal with the fallout. She would only look like the bad person if she refused the request, but just like when Dirk had bought his own self she was a little reluctant.]
Okay! [She fishes around in her pockets before placing money on the counter.] Are there lollipops in here or something? I smell cherry-red things. [Really, she could be smelling anything. She just smells the color red.]
[Twenty, so... forty for the charm... Dunleavy wrote that down and went to find the catalog and found the chapter on cake mixes. Didn't you just use sugar, flour, butter and eggs to make cake? Dunleavy thought it was strange that she needed something specific but she turned the huge catalog round to her.] Which one is it that you want?
[Dunleavy nodded and wrote out an order, before writing a number two under the forty.] I'm afraid I don't know where to start for the next to, what is a Lil Cal and a Brobot?
