Vincent glanced at the direction of the door as the jingling above it alerted him to the arrival of their first specimen. "Alright," He smiled softly, moving back to quietly arrange another display, "Go help our first customer, and we'll see how it goes."

Unfortunately, no one had as of yet traded in a pogo-stick, but there were certainly thousands of other items that needed selling.

There was a jingling and Ursula looked over her shoulder to find a young man standing at the door. Oh! How lovely! She immediately searched his face for his eyes, looking quite interested in them. She was torn away from the lovely eyes when Vincent told her to go help the lad, giving him a confident smile. "Sure!"

She walked away, giving the boil a friendly wave as she approached him. "Hello! Welcome! I'm Ursula, it's a pleasure to meet you." She offered the boil her hand to shake. "A pogo-stick, you say?" A quick look around told her there...was not a pogo-stick in this shop. She made a soft thoughtful hum and tapped at her chin, finally turning back to the boil with an apologetic smile. "Unfortunately I don't think there is one here!" Says the woman who has never been in this shop before today. But hey, what did he know? If they found one, they found one! "But perhaps we can find something similar that will interest you! Shall we take a look?"

Rhys took a couple steps towards the young lady. His gait was off in a peculiar manner, but it was not obvious, more like the sort of thing you can't quite put your finger on. But those "lovely" ice blue eyes glanced nervously around the shop and then back to the paper, before glancing around once again.

He accepted the hand shake with a grip that was surprisingly firm for one who displayed so much hesitance. "I, ah, that might be a problem... I'm not exactly sure what a pogo stick is..." He held up the paper, and pointed to the words scrawled on the paper under the store's address. "It's my roommate, he, uh, said I could find one here. And... he wanted me to buy him one."

"This is not a toy store. Try that cabinet over there. There are quite a few devices that ah... involve springs." Vincent offered from the safety behind the counter, gesturing across the room. Indeed, the things in the cabinet did not look very toy-like, and not a lot of fun if you were on the receiving end. "Might be outside of his price range, though."

"A pogo-stick is a toy, you put your feet on a little step and then you bounce up and down. I'm terrible with them myself," Ursula laughed, "but some scarelings are quite good at it." His roommate wanted this? How interesting. Was his roommate a young lad then?

Ursula stopped to look Vincent's way when the man told them a place they could check. Cabinet? Ah! Okay! "We'll just have a look see. Is there anything else that could appease your roommate should you not find a pogo-stick? A broom, perhaps? They can be enchanted to fly, bounce, do all kinds of things!" Her eyes kept darting from the cabinet to the boil's eyes. One...just one. You only needed one eye, you could find another. Hell, Ursula could find the boil a replacement!

Oh it was lovely, like a piercing ice blue. She wanted it. Could it be given as payment instead of seeds? Pretty please?

Upon hearing the description of a pogo-stick, the kitsune's pale cheeks began to go red. His lips pressed into a line and his brows drew together. He looked a little confused and a little angry as he glanced down at his piece of paper, but still fairly approachable. Aside from not wanting to meet anyone's eyes while he mulled over this new information. "A... stick. You bounce on."

He stared at the paper for another couple moments in silence, his ears falling, and his face going redder the longer he focused on it. And finally he shook himself. "I must have been mistaken, there is no way he would have wanted one of those. Sorry to trouble you!"

The awkward young man lurched towards the door, his unusual gait a little bit more pronounced. Orion had an awful sense of humour. Sending his one-legged roommate to go buy a stick you hop on.
