Seira opened the letter and began reading it. There wasn’t much written on it, Khalash had simple stated that he needed her at his store for the day and that he was going to pay her well if she showed up. Seira had already figured that it was another job and went into the bathroom to get ready for the day. Afterwards she went down into the lounge of the hotel and ate some breakfast. On her way to the store she also bought some snacks for herself and something to drink since most of the stuff Khalash had at his store wasn’t exactly edible until cooked and prepared in a certain way. When Seira arrived at his store he was already waiting for her and greeted her kindly. “So, I suppose you have something to do for me for today?” The man nodded and walked behind the table that had the cash register on it. “Yes, actually. I’m expecting a delivery of new items today, but my business partners need me to show up at their place and look at them first. I’ll have to grade them, if I like them I will bring them to my store. I need you to watch this place in the meantime. Make sure no one demolishes this place, if teenagers show up with no intentions of buying anything then send them away. We don’t have time for that.” Seira nodded in agreement. “I understand, and sure, I can do that.” He grabbed his stuff and was apparently ready to leave. “Oh, and one more thing. Do not enter the backroom. Ever.” Seira nodded and shrugged it off. “Sure, can do.” With everything being cleared up he took his stuff and left for the day. Nothing much happened for the day, other than a few customers walking in and out of the store. None of them bought anything extraordinary and Seira sold the stuff she needed to without problems. Most of the customers were other mages, as expected, such like Seira herself and a few of them questioned where Khalash had gone, which Seira explained without worrying about too much. Fortunately she did not encounter any problematic people and the hours went by without too much happening. Eventually during the late hours when it had gotten dark already Seira did encounter some teenagers, but before they could argue much she threw them out of the shop. She had to make sure that nothing was damaged and Seira kept that promise no problem. At around midnight Khalash finally returned with a cart full of things. Seira greeted him and he was pleased to find that his shop was still in place and everything looked neat and pretty like before. Seira took a look at the few items he had brought along, some of the wares she had never seen before. They exchanged a few words and then Khalash paid her as promised before he closed for the night. He also mentioned that he might need her help again. Seira left after that.
