"Of course! I am not the sort to..." He was going to say that he wasn't the sort that took things such at taking care of other's lightly but any thing he might have been about to say was cut off when the door before him took on a rather stormy scene. He starred into it for a long moment and took a half step back at the roar. Whatever made the sound... it sounded big and for a moment thought something rather massive was going to be pulled forth from the door in front of them...
And instead it was a small thing... a... picture? Needless to say the look on the face of the large minotaur was priceless. He stood there mouth half open as he starred at the picture before he turned slowly toward Wylde and his massive arms lifted to cross over his chest.
"Was this... all some sort of joke on your part?" He asked, sounded somewhat taken aback and perhaps a bit disappointed. So the man was teasing him this whole time... was this some way to sell something? A camera perhaps... or some magic door that flashed pretty pictures in it?

The door resumed its other flashing of images going to its 'dormant' phase once more. Wylde dropped his head to his side and wore a bit of a dreamy smile of a man that had just accomplished something wonderful despite Ryhdderch's indignant behavior of what had come out. He folded his hands in front of himself afterward as if taking on the appearance of someone wizened or at least unworried.
"It is not a joke my friend, you may want to pick up that Foto, he doesn't seem the type to enjoy time on the floor, anyways..." Wylde paused a moment as he pondered how to explain this, and then his face lighted up a bit.
"Due to a small snafu on my part, that is how the beings come out. It takes time for them to fully manifest outside of that scrap there and be a living, breathing being. I don't know how conscious they are while in that form, but I'd suggest treating it as well," the mage said with a small nod. "I know it isn't what you were expecting, but I wasn't making any big promises on my part."
Which was true enough.
Wylde quietly went about gathering a document and a pen and then he moved toward Ryhdderch and offered the pen and paper while he gestured toward small table to move toward them and it did so with four sturdy legs moving in harmony. "I need you to sign this unless you decided otherwise."
It was a simple document proclaiming that anything that happened to the Foto outside of this shop were now under the responsibility of the new guardian. Though there was a clause in there that allowed people to come back to Wylde if there were certain issues that needed his (dubious at best) guidance.

The minotaur shifted in place a moment, wondering what sort of strange magic was being used that summoned forth beings in the form of pictures that would later become creatures. He slowly reached down with one large hand to scoop the item up before looking it over. It was all a bit hard to understand then again... he'd heard all sorts of strange rumors about the world that spoke of such strange happenings. He looked the objected dubbed as 'Foto' over before nodding. It was above his head he decided. He wasn't a mage nor did he claim to be one, this man must know what he was doing aside from the 'snafu' he'd spoken of.
He gave a thoughtful sound as he looked over toward the paper and pen, wondering what they were for. He had to sign for the Foto? It made him half worry that what was going to appear out of the picture was going to be dangerous given that roar he'd heard... he shook his head, there was no being out there that was going to scare him enough that he went back on his word he decided as he picked up the pen as best as he could in his large hand and wrote down his name in his rather messy penmanship.
"Is there anything I need to do to cause it to manifest? Or will it do so in its own time?" He asked finally when he was able to find his voice and escape his own thoughts again.

Wylde had stood aside after paper was laid on the table and pen was handed off and waited as the minotaur signed his name. It wasn't so much that the being in the picture could be dangerous as much as it was just one of those things that Kahn said he should do and it was one of the few things the wild mage actually followed through on after he had seen the wisdom in such acts. Though the larger one had to know nothing of these things, "It does so on it's own. If you do have problems I do invite you to come back and ask for my help," the mage said feeling that it was probably better than to just let the large critter assume it was all on him.
Besides he didn't like the idea of something large and very angry coming at him. Who did? He certainly didn't.
"I promise I won't suddenly take up stakes and move suddenly," Wylde laughed a bit though he was completely serious about that statement. He had no plans of moving.

Ryhdderch gave a nod of his head as he gazed at the rather blurry Foto in his hand before he nodded his head in a thoughtful manner, "I will come to you straight away if it becomes needed, Wylde and I thank you for that." That he knew at least there was someone that was going to be here if it were needed was a reassuring thing. Now... to tell the village Elder about this and not get himself into some trouble for inviting someone to join the family without the being first meeting the other members of the village he thought to himself.
He looked away from starring at the Foto as it was only proving to made his eyes cross since it wasn't helping to unblur it through starring and he looked isntead to Wylde, "Is there... demand for payment for this summoning?" He asked, he had a little money on him though he wasn't sure if it would cover the costs of what the ceremony might have been priced at.

He nodded a bit at Ryhdderch and smiled began to move back to the stairs to lead the large being back out of the store, it seemed more polite than just kicking him out from the workspace and hoping he made it out on his own, like he did with some 'customers', he paused at the question of payment for a long moment. No, there would be no payment taken for this portion of the shop he made money off of whatever harried mages found their way in the shop and needed components and not 'charges' to take care of. It would happen one day that a fellow mage would ask for such a thing or not ask for it as the case may sometimes be, but today it was just a minotaur and tomorrow maybe it would be someone else.
"Nope, I make enough money upstairs to not trouble myself with charging for this." It seemed fair enough.

The large creature seemed to be a bit surprised by this and he couldn't help but smile in a delighted sort of way. There was no need for payment despite the man having done such a great service, "What a kind thing for you do to without asking for something in return, I am most surprised and in awe of you Wylde." He said as he followed the other, back upstairs and back into the shop.
He looked around for a moment, shifted back and forth on his hooves, then looked over to the man, "I do believe I should be going. I do not mean to take and run but I am due to be heading for home shortly." He had a long walk ahead of him and when he got back he was certain to have chores awaiting him. Not to mention an Elder to have a long conversation with... he gave a little roll of his shoulders as he thought on that, not exactly looking forward to that in the least.

"I am pretty awesome," he said without any modesty in his tone as he chuckled when they were in the main store and both had exited safely he closed the door once more as if to keep the magic within that strange 'workshop' contained and tightly wrapped. The mage wore many masks and right now it was that of kindness and understanding. Ryhdderch had obviously caught the mage on one of those days where he just behaved in a manner that was benevolent and most kind seeming. Though that didn't mean the façade dropped when the minotaur was gone as Wylde was never cruel, just irresponsible, unpredictable, and easily bored.
He waved a hand in a manner that was dismissive and when he spoke it was in a tone of understanding, "It's fine, Friend, feel free to come back if the need strikes you. Safe travels, Ryhdderch!" The mage said cheerfully as he moved back behind the counter.

"Do take care of yourself, Wylde. Until we meet again." He said before he went to carefully make his way through the small door before he was once more outside on the sidewalk. He peek through the shop for only a moment, waved, and was on his way toward home. It was time to be on his way he though as he headed off, his attention on the Foto in his hand though he was careful so as not to step on anyone as he walked.
