Making his way through the street he scanned the store fronts people scouring through. With all of his looking however something or preferably someone caught his eye. A young mage who looked to be around the same age as him was outside a store. He was hunched up wearing simple clothing that was smudged and dirty. Walking closer Toma looked down at the man with a blank expression.
It took a moment before he looked up as Toma gave a rough smirk and extended his hand to the man. "You seem upset." Toma replied looking around at the passerby going around them. "It seems no one here has a heart." He chuckled with a final glance at the name of the store. 'Dunwoick Books' it would seem it was a book store. The young man grasped Toma's and was helped to his feet.
He took a moment to dust himself off before sticking his hands in pockets. "I'm Edgar Dunwoick by the way this is my bookstore. However it won't be mine for long it seems." Toma crossed his arms and raised his right eyebrow out of habit curious to learn more. "No one seems to be buying books is it? Sales haven't been doing well huh?" Edgar simply rubbed a hand through his disheveled brown hair. "That sums it up." He sighed again a tear forming in his eye.
