[nospaces] [attr="class","minimal"] [attr="class","top"] It’s decidedly a bad day for business.[break][break]
Or perhaps, not so much a bad day as it is a slow one. The steady patter of rainfall has deterred anyone from walking through the door of the print shop, which means that Fern gains no income from the front end of his business nor from his under the table affairs. No one wants to print and post flyers or banners on a day like this one, and he can’t say he blames them (though he will, because his pockets are not being padded as they typically are.)[break][break]
There are projects he could be working on, sure. Contracts that he’s made with others not directly located within Sootopolis proper, but it could be said that he’s caught in a bit of a double standard–for all of his internal griping on the lack of business, Fern isn’t exactly inclined to do that much work, either. Or at least at this point in the evening he’s not. The grey daylight outside has long faded to a heavy pitch, and he’s left to make a show of availability for the sake of service. But really, he’s lulled by the space heater plugged in nearby and the light snores of his dragapult stubbornly stretched out underfoot rather than in her bed in the corner.[break][break]
Fern isn’t sure how long he sits like that, doing nothing and dying of utter boredom. He’s practically dozing when the bell above the door chimes brightly. Far brighter than the mood that the rainy evening offers. Cecilia perks before he does, floating lazily up from the floor to peer over the top of his counter. The thicker end of her tail (which was stretched out underneath the rungs of his stool nearly topples him from his seat, and it is this jolt that finally rouses him to more alert attention.[break][break]
easygoing, but sly smile settles in place on his mouth as he straightens up and looks across to the door, to meet that of a rather intriguing patron. “Hello, you,” he trills, as if he’s been expecting Tuesday to turn up all along, though he very much hasn’t. [break][break]
