Typically if Tsuneo Bo needed something he would send one of his clerks off to get it for him. However today all his clerks were busy. And being that his break had come Tsuneo Bo had headed off to the nearest town to find himself a book store. Most likely he would need to take his lunch break as well to get this all worked out. Hopefully this book store would sell the journals he needed as well some reference materials he needed.
The handsome stallion walked straight and proud. He had the air of royalty as he walked and his pale eyes looked down on anyone who dare to meet his. The gave the impression that he was judging everyone he happened upon and in fact he was. He was often known to judge Mearh on first look and once his impression was made it was very hard to change it. Though he was a fare stallion if he needed to be.
Finding a small bookstore he pushed opened the door and walked in his hooded eyes already scanning and judging the modest shop His handsome face a mask of what might be going on in his mind.

 Keeva was smiling as she shelved some of the new books she had gotten in. It felt so wonderful to have this place where she could share her love of all books with everyone. She had even moved her things to live just above her shop.
She moved away from the shelf as she heard the bell just above the door ring. She walked over to the front and paused as she saw a tall stallion at her door. In all honesty she felt a bit intimidated but she made herself look him in the eyes. "Welcome to my bookstore sir, is there anything in particular you are looking for?"

Tsueno Bo watched as a female came around the corner and approached him. As she met his eyes and started to speak to him, he realized that she was the proprietor of this store. Well he would forgive a woman from looking right into his eyes since she worked there, it was good ethic to look your client in the eyes. "I am in need of some ledgers. Do you happen to sell any?" His voice was deep and even. If not by his stance but my his voice it was clear that he was of good breeding.

Keeva thought about it for a moment and nodded, "I believe so. Follow me." She led him toward the right side of the store to a display table. She glanced through the books lying there and smiled. Here are the ledgers right here. The stack next to it is journals. If you need a larger one or anything else just let me know." It was obvious that his stallion came from good breeding and from money, which was the opposite from her. She moved herself behind the counter and began looking through her own ledger to see when her next batch of children books would come in.

Tsuneo Bo gave a dip of his head and followed her towards the table with stacks of ledgers. He looked them over as she moved behind the counter. He was glad to see that the quality of the binding was very good and tight. It promised to last a time. "I would like to see some larger ones as well miss." He did not turn to her assuming she would bring it to him or call him to her when she brought them out. "Do you know who bound these ledgers?"

Keeva was silent as she turned around and grabbed a larger ledger from the shelf behind her. She looked over at him and inwardly sighed. Obviously he expected her to bring it to him. He definitely comes from money. She stepped over to him, ledger in hand. "Here you are. An older stallion in the next village makes them so I share the profits with him from the sales."

Tsuneo Bo had not really expected her to bring it over to him but he did take it from her hand to look over it. "I see. A shared in profits then. So that means you mark the prices up a bit to pay for both of you." He paused for a moment he flipped threw the pages. "How many of these do you have in stock?" He asked flatly. He knew that she needed to make an income too and he was a little shocked to see how little a mark up she put on them. For they were the same price other seller sold for lesser quality ledgers.

"Only a slight mark up, but yes I do. I want to keep my shop affordable while still providing lasting quality." A slightly confused at his question but shrugged and motion for him to follow her back to the counter. From a shelf just beneath it she pulled out another ledger which held her stock information. "Large ledgers... ahh here we are. There are five more on the shelves behind me and a box with twenty in the storage room." Her voice was soft but confident because she was in her comfort zone among the shelves of books.

Tsuneo Bo gave a nod. So she did only give a small mark up. It would not bring too much profit to her but it was a nice strategy. She would get enough of a profit to keep the shop open. He smiled mentally well she was going to make bank on this profit today. He followed her to the counter and watch her looking the information up. He thought for a moment then gave a nod, "I will need all twenty six large ledgers and seven of your small ones." He spoke flatly as if he were merely purchasing a low quality paper. "I will take two large and three of the small with me now and I will send a Stallion back for the rest later this evening. I assume that will be fine."

Keeva paused going a bit wide eyed. "All of the large ledgers?" It was obvious that he wasn't kidding, he didn't seem like one to joke. She nodded and pulled out a journal along with another large ledger. She opened the journal and wrote down his order. "V-Very well. You can find the small ledgers over by the display I showed you earlier. I shall need your name and the name of the stallion you will send for the rest. You will also need to pay for the ones you are leaving with now, the rest of the sum can be paid upon pickup. They will need to be here before the market closes or they will have to pick them up tomorrow." She was a bit rattled by this because she had only just opened her shop and didn't expect to be selling on such bulk. She calmly told him the amount of coins for what he would be taking as well as what would need to be paid upon pick up. "Is there anything else you require?"

The fact that the mar got so rattled by his order caused Tsuneo Bo's eyes to lower a bit. It was rather unprofessional in his mind. Surely she was not as inexperienced in selling things as she was acting right now. But he gave a nod, "I shall pay in full now. You may place me under the name Tsuneo Bo and the stallion who will be picking up the rest is named _______." he pulled from his hip a silken pouch with his money in it and fulling out the required amount placed it on the counter for her. "You would not happen to have any literature on the current trends in farming and crop management would you?" He turns to walk back towards the small ledgers his silken hair swaying flawlessly and perfectly straight as he moved. Even though he had been walking it seemed that there was not even the slightest of tangle in either his mare nor his tail.

The indigo haired mare nodded and wrote down the names he had given her. She watched as he moved around. He was definately a wealthy stallion. Money seemed to be of no consequence and just by the upkeep on his mane and tail, he took pride in his appearance. That part didn't bother her as she always kept her mane and tail very well groomed. At his next request she moved from behind the counter, "I do have those. You can find them on the back wall arranged by season." She moved past him and went back ti shelving her latest installment of books. A soft smile drifted across her features as she worked. She truly hoped that she could keep Leather Bound going for a long time.

Tsuneo Bo gave his head a bit of a nod and made his way to the back wall. He left larger ledger he had been carrying with the smaller ones as he started to look over the books in question. He was aware that she went back to her business that she had been engaged in before he had shown up. At the very least she did not just sit around waiting for him to make his selections wail there was work to be done. At least is seemed she had her priorities straight.

Keeva smile only widened as she continued to work now humming a small tune to herself. When she had finished with that box she folded it and moved back behind the counter to update her own ledger. After all she had to keep herself organized to run things smoothly.

Tsuneo Bo took his time looking threw the books. He was not going to waist gold on books that he might not need. So far a good chunk of it was already listened in some of the other reference books he had. She did have a broad spread of books here. Though he was aware that at least half of them were for younger Mearh.
