Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gilles nodded as he ducked behind the desk and started sorting through paper bags. When he found one that would fit his purposes, he shook it out and placed in on the desk. "I think you have you pay for Alice and Cities because those look expensive. Let me see them for just a second, and I can give you the price." Gilles was suddenly all salesman again, though he was fumbling slightly with the cashier and the coin collector, but at least they were out of dangerous territory, heart-to-hearts and general mushyness. Gilles got terribly embarassed when that sort of thing was being discussed around him.

He accepted the piece of paper from Lonan and tucked it into his pants pocket - the other one, not the one with the deck in it - and began his search for a pen. He found it, and a piece of receipt paper. "Uh...A Tale of Two Cities...there, and the next one..." Gilles muttered, his voice becomming undistinguishable from the scratching sounds of the pen as he continued. "The total is...125 gold." Gilles said, signing the line above the words "SALE MADE BY."

Gilles was going to protest that Lonan really, really didn't have to give him so much money when he heard the teen's next statement. "Oh. Alright, then." He said rather weakly, watching Lonan exit the shop. When the teen had gone, Gilles sighed, located Mr. Hoppo (who had found a cardboard box to nibble) and started to clean the shop again, muttering to himself about mysterious people who didn't give a though to normal folks who didn't have the...the... What was the word? Gilles paused, shook his head, and picked up a sponge. The floor really needed to be cleaned again.
