Having somehow discovered how she had threatened the group of teenagers from staying out of the backroom of the store Khalesh believed her fiery nature and intimidating presence as a Wild Neko could serve well for the problem he was facing. Being that he was a collector of rare items it was nothing unusual for Khalesh to barter with merchants and citizen alike in an attempt to claim ownership of the item, but if there was one thing Khalesh hated, then it was a fraud. Having discovered that one of the uncommon items he had purchased was faulty and malfunctioning he had called in the owner for a refund, but unfortunately, he had to leave the store and it was up to her to 'convince' the owner to pay up the money.
It was an unexpected request, but it was also interesting to see that Khalesh was trying to put her nature as a Wild Neko to use, and with her interest stirred Y'shtola had decided to give things a try. And that led to her current situation: stuck tending the magic shop while waiting for the owner to arrive.
Her instructions had been clear, a magical item known as a Lacrima orb was resting on a nearby desk, and the faulty item was prepared on the counter, so once she had gained her refund all she needed to do was alert Khalesh by touching the orb what would seemingly make him aware that the refund had happened, and then once it was time she could close up the shop after taking her share of what he owned her for the work. All in all it was truly a simple request. However, she would need to either convince or threaten the man, but violence would not be permitted. A pity really since she couldn't imagine how willing a fraud would be to part with his money, but she had assumed that with a bit of 'convincing' she could surely get him to see reason.
A few hours had passed till the owner finally arrived, the reason for her ability to be able to identify him so quickly being that his gaze wandered onto the uncommon item on the counter and then to her. "Is Khalesh here?" A light shake of her head followed, causing the man to smile at her and reply in a surprisingly more energetic tone. "I'll come by another time then-" But Y'shtola was quick to interrupt his attempt to escape. "I was specifically asked by Khalesh to ensure that you'd pay back the money he gave you for the faulty item."
And then the man's smile faded away... oh boy, the party had yet to get started!
