Elk gave the tiny dragon a pancake of his own, which he dragged off to eat in a cup laying on its side. Once the last crumb was devoured, it took the time to clean off each claw and scale, twisting its wings around awkwardly as it tried to make certain that it didn't miss anything. It was an...

Elk frowned at her comment. "I don't think that's how jobs work," he muttered, referring to her comment of never stopping work meant it wasn't unpaid. He shook it off, though, not really wanting to discuss that in detail and said instead, "You are my second job!" He paused, spatula in the...

Robby hung out for a little longer before turning and heading onward toward home. It was good to see the mansion business thing working out. He wasn't sure he was convinced they'd do really well here when they weren't used to even having to advertise, but at least the sign was a good start...

"You're welcome," Robby said in surprise. "I'm... glad they seem to be working so far. I hope you do better than you started out."

"Look at that, the sign is already making itself useful," Robby grinned. "You should go talk to them. Be informative and excited."

Robby looked up at the mansion and nodded in approval. "It's a good name. I do like it. It suits you and your store."

"That looks nice," Robby approved. "Really easy to read and pretty elegant. What's a Pearlhall?"

"Sure, I have some time," Robby agreed. "I do have homework I need to get done tonight, but I can take a bit of time."

Robby relaxed, brightening. They did have a sign! He hesitated a bit before awkwardly asking, "Do you need help setting up the sign?" He glanced at Lenora. "Fairies are big in children's media, and they are usually either the best friend or saving the day."

Robby took a deep breath in and let it out in a slow sigh. He would not get frustrated. He would not get frustrated! "That is just an open and closed sign. What is opened or closed? What kind of business? You have to get close to even see the sign. I'm talking about a sign that indicates...

"Nice. One sale is better than none," Robby said with a shrug. He glanced around. "Have you thought about my suggestion for a sign?"

Robby waited until the family left to come forward. "So, how did it go? How many sales have you managed to make?"

Robby hung back and watched, not wanting to interfere in a sale. If Imperia managed to pull it off. The phoenix was even more impressive from a distance. The red feathers tinged with gold fire outshone any picture or interpretation he'd ever seen. He couldn't help but wonder if people like...

Robby scuffed his feet as he headed back toward the mansion. It was not exactly on the way, but it was close enough that he didn't mind angling that way on his way home. He noticed the people talking to Imperia and Lenora and hung way back watching. Perhaps he should just head home and not...

"That's good news." Robby checked his watch. "I need to head to school. I'll stop by after school to see how things are going. Just remember, most of the people - not all of them, but most - who really, really want to believe or do believe in magic are a bit weird. Be careful of those ones...

Robby shrugged. "Well, it's a good start, that's for sure. Do you have anything flashy to catch people's eye? You're not exactly on the beaten path, so you might need to work to get their attention. Like... a fire bird on a perch or something. Far away from the books, of course."

Robby walked up slowly, keeping his distance as he eyed the tomes, his bag still over his shoulder. It was no longer filled with things to potentially attack or protect, but school books. He frowned and nodded a little as he looked over the books. "Magic books?" he asked Imperia. "Nice. But...

Okay, that was cool, but he wasn't going to say that. "Right... well, bye. I guess I'll see you around. Good luck with, you know, stuff." Robby headed out of the house, glancing back as he headed for home. This was a weird place. He still wasn't sure he believed or trusted all this stuff...

"Robby," he told her. "At least, that's what people call me. What was your name - uh, your names - again? I missed them." He awkwardly tried to include the fairy.

"That's a good start," Robby agreed. "Preferably something that can't be stolen, at least not easily. And a sign. Something to indicate that this is a shop because it looks just like a house." He checked his watch. "I should get home."
