*Kade was just wandering around the market place, nothing really to do. He had no idea where Dantin was and decided to not just stay cooped up in his room all day. There were many interesting things in the market but seeing as how he didn't have money, he wasn't going to be buying anything. It was kind of sad really that all he had money to do was buy food at the tavern. How anybeast could put up with the mess hall food really got him. Most likely, he looked kinda strange, just wandering around aimlessly in the market area.*

Linx, however, had a very definite destination and was trying to get there as quickly as he could. He had to open the shop for the day since the employee for the morning shift was ill and there wasn't an immediate replacement, so as a result he found himself struggling through the crowd of the central marketplace to get to his shop. On the way, he spotted a familiar face which appeared to be rather lost, and he beckoned for the mouse it belonged to to follow. "Hey, Kade, over here!"

*Kade heard his name called out and turned in the direction it had come from. It just so happened to belong to Linx.* "Oh, hey Linx." *Seeing as how Linx seemed to be wanting Kade to follow him, he did so and had to move fast as Linx weaved through the crowd.* "Why the rush?"

"Well, I'm just going over here to open up my shop," Linx shouted over the crowd as he fought through to his workplace's door. It didn't take twenty seconds for him to insert his key in the first lock, then his other key in the second lock, then his room key in the third lock to open the door. He'd added some security measures now that it was getting so high in value. "C'mon, just in here..."

*Kade, due to Linx seeming to be very rushed, hurried into the shop. Almost as soon as he entered and was out of the way, he stopped in his tracks and stared around the room. There was so much... stuff... weapons... stuff.* "Wow..." *Was all he could get out."

Linx shut the door behind them, lowering the wooden barrier that had blocked the large pane of glass built into the solid panel. Once he'd locked it at its home position on its hinge, he turned to Kade. "You like the array? So do I. This light isn't doing them justice but you get the idea... They look scarier when they're dark, anyway."

*Kade just kept looking around the room.* "I'm thinking that they would look scary either way..." *He now turned to Linx.* "You made all these?"

"If you mean invented, yes... I didn't personally make most of the ones on display in this room, though." Linx pointed to a chrome-plated rake sword bolted into the ceiling, directly above the two of them and with its tip pointing to the counter at the end of the room. Its blade faced the left wall. "I know I made that one, it took forever to do... I folded the steel so many times it was nearly impossible to drill the holes in it."

*All Kade could say was* "Cool..." *It ws heard to believe that anybeast could invent all this stuff. There was so much of it.*

"Hey, I'm an inventor, it's what I do for a living. It's nice, business profits plus a fort salary... Two jobs at once is fun when they coexist like that." Linx headed back to the counter, where the money wasn't kept but he could at least try and run things. "The back two rooms, I suggest you don't go in, that includes the side forge room... You might break something, no offense."

*Kade grinned at Linx.* "None taken. I probably would break something. No wonder your so rich. You get payed for two jobs."

"Well, no, this is the beauty of it... Whenever the fort needs weapons," Linx explained across the dead silent room, "I can buy weapons from myself! I sell my wares to the fort as a private vendor, and buy them as a public overseer. So I get automatic business, and it puts me on a pretty large scale, I can pay for employees to take over whenever I'm out, which is pretty often, and, uh... The one for this morning is ill, that's why I'm here." Linx looked around the room then focused on Kade again. "You sure you want to stay over there?"

*Kade was still in the process of looking around the shop when Linx said that..* "Uh, where else should I stay?" *He doubted he could help out in the shop so he was wondering just what he would do while he was here.*

"You could come back behind the counter if you like," Linx suggested while beckoning Kade to come closer again. "There's a few interesting things back here..."

*Kade looked at Linx for a second before he responded.* "Oh, um, ok." *He then did as he was biddin, seeing as how there was nothing else to do.*
