Hrm, might I be able to request the assistance of some here? I have a few jobs both on world and off world that I'd need some help with.

Please inquire to know more.

::It's a rather nice spring and the shop has updated for the spring season. Though in the center aisle as usual is that large, creepy mirror that reflects weird stuff. Though perhaps you need some spring clothes, or perhaps spring Haiku, or prepare for graduation ceremonies at normal schools.

There is also of course the green house manned by my lovely assistant.::

You seem to be giving some close examinations for just browsing, though. There isn't anything that's piqued your interest?

*to note, the objects are actually fairly... average and non-dangerous. Anything really affecting would be upstairs.*

Well...I guess if you must know. I'm doing just a quick routine look-around. Just making sure you guys aren't selling parts to "magical doomsday machines", to quote the main branch, as part of my work with the Special Investigations Department.

[He rolls his eyes. It's pretty clear how he feels about his part in all that, as well as the way the order was given.]

*she blinks, taken aback*

We definitely wouldn't sell anything of that nature. I'm sorry we've given such an impression...

You haven't, believe me.

[He scratches his head.]

I trust you guys well enough, I've bought no shortage of products here, but my superiors want me to make sure kids aren't running amok with magical dimension-altering spellbooks or "how to build your own 12 Dimension Portal" start-up set, because they don't really understand the first thing about how all this stuff works, they're just paper pushers and central-office detectives, most of them give the more magical subculture as wide a berth as possible.

Simply put, they're paranoid, and I have to put up with them.

Well, situations like that are why we've separated our stock, and only allow those with authorization or licenses to handle such items to peruse such a stock, so...

After all, we don't want people to think we're trying to do anything bad.

No, yeah, that's totally understandable, and I appreciate it. I don't usually get much direction from the central office, but when I do, they're pretty adamant, know what I mean? Most of these guys would've swore that magic was bunk about ten years ago.

...Though I suppose it does give me a good chance to look at anything I may want to pick up down the line. I've always enjoyed the stuff I've gotten from this place.

Well... If you do find anything you're interested in, please, do say something. I'm here to assist, after all.

Of course, of course.

How have you and the owner been, at any rate? Doing well, I hope.

*she nods, smiling. which must be so weird when you think of Suguru.*

Yes, we're doing fine. The winter went well enough, though I'm thankful personally that it's over.

[It terrifies me beyond the capacity for rational thought.]

I don't blame you at all, to be honest. This winter was pretty brutal. I huddled up in electric blankets for months.

At least you're more or less made to tolerate the cold. *she sighs a bit*

But now I have spring to look forward to. So it's not all bad.

Yeah, true, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. [He laughs.] I much prefer Spring to Winter, trust me.

I imagine you'll be getting out and about a lot more once the weather gets nice and warm, eh?

*she nods*

Yes. At least when I'm not tending to my greenhouse. I've been working to tend to some new plants, and many of them are flowering, now.
