"Thank you for you business, have a pleasant day." A young woman said automatically as she handed an older man several articles of clothing. The young one small smile radiating a small amount of happiness as she placed small stack of money she had been given into the register. Watching as the old man left her store seeming quite happy with the clothes he had brought. The young man smile twisting into a satisfied one know she just made a really good sale, given she paid less then half the price she charged for those clothes. With the store now empty Amelia sighed, today had been a quite day with enough a handful of customers coming into her store. Even few actually buying something.
"Might sweep the front of the store. Haven't done that since last night." she though stepping to her shops back room. Grabbing one of several brooms she had. Amelia walked out the front of her shop. Slowly starting to sweep, starting to hum to herself mere seconds later. Her mind wondering as she swept, thinking of all the places she wanted to go see. Recalling images of a number of different places she had seen as a little girl. As she swept, Amelia was pulled out of her thoughts as she noticed a ship flying low, over town. Stopping she watched the ship until it was out of view.
"What a pack of jackasses. Flying so low, they do know people live in this town." Amelia though with a shake of her head. Retuning to her task Amelia went back to sweeping, since no one had come near her store. Amelia didn't mind moment where the shop was empty as it allowed to clean it a little or do the shops books. Saving her time after closing, time she could then use on other things.
Amelia wasn't even a quarter of the way thought sweeping her shops front when a young man approached her store.
"Hello" she stated in a friendly manner only to be ignored. Amelia continued to sweep as as she watched him walk passed her and enter the shop. Setting the broom down, she frowned finding the potential customer rudeness unnecessary. Entering her shop Amelia looked at the young man, seeing he was browsing though several books she had been able to acquire recently. Something she was quite proud of as the trader she got them off was quite reluctant to let them go for what Amelia was willing to pay. Going behind the counter, Amelia continued to watch the young man, lacking anything better to do while he was in here. Looking almost board she sighed to herself. It was never any fun when she had just one customer. After a couple of minutes the young man picked up a book and started to walk around shop. Amelia watched him try a pair of boots on before picking them up. He also grabbed a pack and an old looking cloak.
"He must be planning a trip somewhere. Failing that he news here and wants to explore. Either way, buying that old cloak. Which is good had that thing for two years and no ones wanted it." Amelia thought to herself watching as the young man came up to the counter.
What happened was the normal Amelia working out the combined price and the young man paying for his new items. All which happened without Amelia only stating the price. The young man having no interest in conversation. Amelia sighing as she placed the money in the register. Going back out the front Amelia went back to sweeping, humming to herself while she did so.
