Rander Baston was in the back and greeted her with a wave before approaching her. He was huge, but as expected kind looking and after she waved the flyer into his face, he seemed to know exactly what she was here for. “I’m glad someone showed up so soon,” he admitted and gave her a thumbs up, “you are really saving me here. There is going to be a lot of guests and visitors so I have to show myself from my best side!” He started talking right away but Seira was a little lost as to what the matter was. “Visitors?” He nodded. “Yes, at the drinking contest of course. Anyways, all I need you to do is watch the shop. I will close it for the day so you can do whatever you want, just make sure I’m not getting robbed!” He laughed and grabbed his bags, turned the sign on the door around so it said “closed” and then left. He mentioned he would be back in a few hours, by the end of the day, and Seira was free to do whatever, so she did exactly that and relaxed. She had brought a book as well so that wasn’t going to be a problem. Espeon was resting near a warm fireplace. As time passed nothing much happened. Espeon was napping in front of the fireplace and Seira had gotten comfortable in a large chair - she was reading a book and she was quite invested when she had some loud noise in front of the door. Assuming that this didn’t concern her, she ignored the noise in hopes of it stopping soon enough. When it didn’t, however, the vampire stood up to see what exactly was going on. In front of the door, outside the shop, she spotted eight men, dressed in rough closing, with mean faces and armed with knives, yelling something at each other, but they were focused on the shop. Clearly they intended to vandalize and Seira decided that she wasn’t even going to let them close to the shop. She opened the door and quickly rushed outside. As a vampire, she was quite fast, far too fast for any of those men that was for sure. She headed for the one closest by and bit him into the wrist using her fangs, causing him to drop his weapons and scream in surprise. She had caught him off guard and quickly snatched his knive off the ground only to stab him into the side with it. The others seemed stressed out immediately and scattered. They all looked like thugs but they were actually useless once one of them was injured and defeated, and Seira took the time to knock them all out and call upon some rune knights and police who would take care of this from now on. The shop was not harmed. Seira waited for Rander to return and when he did she explained everything that had happened today. He was understanding and paid her well for her efforts at defending the shop.
