Benjamin sighed in response to Elin's commentary about management. "Technically, before you came here, there's the new cashier but he's not here at the moment. Also, there is one more sales associate that I know but he has been missing for a long time. Based mostly on personal issues that I can't disclose since the situation is heavy for some people who can't handle it." That was all he could say about Crevan's fate; he certainly didn't want Elin to butt in since it was something that the fox would handle on his own. That one aside, hearing that the new manager was a newcomer to the city was nothing new to him, but it wouldn't mean that the invitation for further knowledge in between co-workers wouldn't be welcomed at all. "Say, are you going to be available after shift or tomorrow? I know a coffee shop that you may also enjoy and I'm a casual there."
Secretly, Ben was hoping that Moonbucks would be Elin's next favorite hangout spot. After all, Elin had a lot of places that he should visit, more so when it would be his first time discovering them.

σσ¢: ▶ Oh the cashier? Elin questioned lightly as his mouth made an "o" shape. He would have never thought of the cashier taking the management position, that was certainly new. Listening about the other associate, the man nodded in understanding. He was in no position to ask such personal questions, so he opted in silence. He hoped the person was ok. Elin smiled with a nod, I'm "free" whenever is most convenient for you. I haven't much to do here anyway. Elin commented offhandedly as she stood and stretched, a few pops making its way to the surface. He relaxed and looked back towards Benjamin, I would love the company, Benjamin.

Ben knew that Elin was also a nutcase like he was, though of a different way, but at least the invitation for both of them spending time together at Moonbucks was accepted, a positive sign indeed. Some time had passed and lunch break had come around for everyone working in the store.
Benjamin brought along some panini sandwiches for today, though the batches were only for himself since his container was actually small. At least he got some lemonade as the drink in his thermos, sweetened with natural honey, a way to bring some zest into his system. The sales associate sat down on a chair, eating one of the sandwiches in just two bites since he was super hungry. He had indeed worked up his appetite and a recharge was of utmost necessity.
Ben actually guided Elin to the manager's office earlier, an hour before lunchbreak, showing him the necessary nooks and crannies alongside the computer which he would use mostly for documents and spreadsheets. Research would also be fine as long as it would be still something relevant to the business. All in all, the half-demon was a busy bee and the lunch was home-made to save cash for his possible future expenses.

σσ¢: ▶ The boy wandered around a little in between his talks with Benjamin. He wanted to keep busy, he also wanted to do his job correctly, and standing around wasn't going to help that much. Before he knew it, it was lunch time. He had recently been shown around the managers office and how to work the computer a bit. It was all common sense knowledge, Elin picked it up with a flash. He deeply appreciated the help that Benjamin gave him, he couldn't possibly do this all by himself. He noticed Benjamin pulling out lunch and sighed quietly. He forgot some food to bring. With a small soft chuckle, Elin shook his head, deactivated his stomach muscles, and went to search for a book to keep him occupied in the mean time.

The rest of the shift for them both seemed to pass by slowly, though there was still the steady trickling of customers coming in to and fro from the bookstore, the classical music still setting up the mood for the establishment. The rain was still pouring, but the enthusiasm of the customers checking in, either for new novels and comics or simply old favorites, was still fresh like flowers blooming in spring. That, for Benjamin, was what counted the most, no matter what the weather the city was enduring at this moment. The most memorable customer that he had met for that day was a grandfather buying a book of funny jokes for his wife, the old lady suffering from cancer and the jokes helping to cheer her up. A smile crossed Ben's face when they parted ways, though the memory of seeing Yosuke dying crept up to him and he had to push that thought aside. He had already accepted that fact a long time ago and he chose to just move on and relish in the present moments throughout his stay in Soleil.
It was an hour left before closing time, and Ben was now checking the inventory, to see if there was any need of restocking. Two titles were sold out and there were some reserves, and that was what he told the new manager. As soon as he was leaving the office, there was a young girl with a father, having to find shelter from the rain because the umbrellas that they both carried were destroyed, and they were both dripping wet. Eventually, he had to help them both, providing some towels to help them dry up. It was a shame that they had no change of clothes, thus rendering them more vulnerable from the cold and possible fever.

σσ¢: ▶ After reading a few books, Elin's attention was turned to Benjamin. He started moving around and fixing things up again, signifying that it was time to work again. Elin placed the book he was reading back and headed to his office to jot down a few of the sales they made and which to order for later.
It took him a few minutes and he finished his task, going ahead and checking the rows of books again to make sure he didn't miss anything when he heard the door chime open. He looked over and watched as a father and daughter took shelter from the rain. He watched Benjamin give them towels and help them dry off. Elin felt bad that he couldn't do much, until he remembered his umbrella! Elin quickly rushed to the back and grabbed his umbrella, returning a few seconds after to hand it to the father with a smile. He didn't want them to go back out after drying themselves. Eventually Elin had called a cab for them, paying the money for the fare and waved at they left.

The sales associate could only smile as Elin helped the two in leaving the house safely even with the rain. It had reminded him of the past life, in which there was no protection, the cold rain splattering down on his wounded and bruised skin because of his uncle's abuse. That one aside, time had passed by and it was time for the store to close, with Ben having to lock everything after he had packed up his things, but not without waiting for his new manager to come along. The night at Moonbucks was all he needed for a casual conversation with Elin. Good drinks, together with delicious desserts complimenting well with them; what more could he ask for? However, because of the fact that Elin was using his umbrella to help the two people earlier, they had to share under Ben's own. Logically, it would be unwise, but it couldn't be helped anyway.
At least the cafe was within walking distance, so snatching that comfort from the rain wouldn't be so far away. He surely missed the sights and sounds of the place that he had become accustomed to for some time aside from his workplace.

σσ¢: -exit- ▶ Elin helped Benjamin lock the shop up with a small smile. His first day on the job complete! It wasn't too hard, enjoyable, in fact. Elin never forgotten about the umbrella, he just simply ignored the fact that he has to buy another, and thanked Benjamin for letting him under his own. Elin followed along peacefully as he struck up small conversation, adding a flirt in between, to which he didn't know was a flirt at the time. He heard people use it before and thought it was a good ice breaker to use.

"I... I just can't forget him..."
That was what Benjamin muttered to himself as he was just done arranging the comic books on the shelves. Night had to leave from his house yesterday morning and there was some casual fun going on between the two, but the passionate activities didn't occur since the half-demon was too tired as soon as he made contact with the bed. It was a good thing that he had the bartender's contact number in his phone just in case they would keep in touch; it would depend on how busy they both would be. Today would be another busy day in the bookstore with a few customers dropping by every now and then for the fix to purchase books or comics. His shift would end at 6 PM tonight; maybe he should head to Moonbucks tonight for that casual tea craving since his supply at home had been run out, but it would depend on how the day would progress.
Letting a sigh escape his lips, he left the shelves, only to see that one of the customers was having trouble walking to one of the sections because the old man was walking with a cane, but with much difficulty. Benjamin, being the gentleman he was, was escorting him to that spot to lessen the chances of accidents occurring.

Ozwald slowly pushed open the door, stepping into the bookstore. The gloomy young man had decided to finally leave his house. Especially since remaining secluded inside was probably counterproductive to the whole reason he moved here. So after dragging himself outside he just kinda wandered around. In his mind he made note of several places that might interest him. Soon he found himself in front of a building called Bookworms. Thinking he could pop in for a bit and maybe pick up some new reading material for when he retreats back to his home. Shoving his hands into his pockets he slow rolled his way around the store, not in any particular hurry to find anything. Reading had been one of the only hobbies afforded to him in the past so he'd gained quite a love for many different types of written works. He also saw some CDs as he walked, perhaps he could pick up a few of those as well. For now he was skimming the back of a fantasy novel, his dark eyes flitting back and forth rather rapidly as he absentmindedly nibbled on his thumbnail.

The old man's voice was rough, mainly due to age, but he appreciated Ben's kindness until he left the bookstore to be together with his grandkids who were the ones accompanying him on the trip throughout Soleil. A pang of nostalgia hit the British demon; his adoptive parents were close to being his true family. He should give them a video call on his next day off. But as he departed back inside the store, the black-haired man came into his line of sight, and based on the body language, he may be confused about something. Attempting to be gently approachable just like with the elderly male, his voice was casual, all without having to peer closer to the other male. "Good morning. Need any help with something?"
But still, it may no doubt scare the heck out of that new stranger, so Ben had to keep some sensible distance between them. That way, the chances for assumptions would be lessened considerably.

Replacing the one book Ozwald went to reach for another when a voice sounded behind him. Luckily for the both of them the stranger wasn't standing too close. That had gotten more than enough people injured in the past and he really wasn't looking for any unwanted attention. He slowly turned to look at the blond man but didn't immediately respond to the question. Realizing quickly that just staring wasn't a polite thing to do he cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his head. "Uh I'm just looking for a few good books.." he replied, his voice deep and slightly raspy. He fiddled with his glasses a bit. "I don't get out very often so I'm not really used to being in bookstores. Having any good recommendations?"

There was a short moment of silence between those two before the newcomer voiced out his inquiry about searching for books. "Depends on what you are looking for exactly. There are some fantasy, romance and supernatural novels available in stock, fresh from the press. Also, there are currently new titles related to cook books, in case you want to try out in preparing something good in the kitchen at home. Even new reference titles about sewing, crocheting and cross-stitching are available as well. But if you want something else, feel free to state it out. I have been working here for a long time, so I know where I can find the one you are looking for."
And while he was waiting for the other to reply, Benjamin saw a sole customer paying, but because the person was blind, having to use Braille to read, an employee has to help out in translating using that system. There were two devices available for that purpose in case such stuff would be used as an emergency.

Ozwald let out a low contemplative hum. Well he'd certainly be staying away from romance novels, he found them to be terribly tacky. It might be a good idea to pick up a cookbook, then maybe the next time he actually tried to cook he wouldn't cause a fire. Definitely would stay away from sewing and whatever the hell cross-stitching was. He wasn't very good working with his hand, or at least with creative pursuits. "Well I quite like fantasy, horror and mystery novels." he said softly, biting at his nails again. He hated that extended contact with people left him feeling so awkward. He noticed someone waiting to pay and decided to leave the man to attend to the other customer. "Uh I think I'll just go look around some more then come find you.." he muttered before slipping away to look at some more books.
