Laughing out loud, Jonas leaned back into his chair and continued to chuckle as he folded his arms across his chest, "O' course things are going to go wrong! It is your first day and all, can not expect you to do everything perfect!" With a grin still on his face, he stood and waiting for Ayeka to do the same before ushering her back out to the front. "Now you will be workin' the front for the time bein'. I have a few things to pick up on the docks, fresh fish and what not. See if I can lay my hands on some good ones."
Motioning for Ayeka to get behind the counter, he swept his hands over the store before looking back at her. "Now remember lass, be curtious, be kind, and be full of vigor! None of this doubting stuff you hear? If things are slow, just clean up a bit around the store... Should be back before the suns hit the noon time shadows. Good luck!" Before Ayeka even had a moment to speak, Jonas waddled his way out throught the front door, changing the sign to say open, and adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose, whistling while he went...
The store was fairly clean to Ayeka's eyes, the smells of lantern fluid, candle wax, fish, fruit, perfumes and all was a bit overwhelming now that she was alone. So this is what the first day was supposed to be, to sit here alone, and get some work done... No doubt this would be the way it was everyday, for however long Ayeka worked there.
