"There really isn't much to do but wait," Linx continued, "I mean, generally there'd be a hireling going around and dusting stuff off but with you around all I can do is wait for a customer."

*Now Kade just looked at Linx with a confused expression.* "Then, um, why am I here?" *Maybe it's just because he had looked so pitiful and lost out on the street...*

"Let me answer that with another question. What were you planning to do out there?" It was by far a more productive experience to get the feel for a shop life than to get lost in the marketplace. Maybe he could show Kade his way around a repeater, or give him a rundown of sword work, or... Something equally symbolic.

*Kade didn't really have an anwer to that one.* "Well, um... I dunno..." *He hadn't been planning on doing anything out there, to say the least.*

"Good answer," Linx responded flatly. It was clear that Kade was just being... Lost. Again. "You want to go to the back room and try out one of my insane weapons?" Could you make that sound any worse?

*Kade couldn't help but grin, not realizing how Linx may have thought that sounded.* "Yeah, insane weapons are cool." *He hadn't had a chance to do more that sparring with Dantin so he hadn't really tried out any of the new weapons.*

"Well, if you want some ridiculous recoil, you could try a repeater rifle. But I really do mean ridiculous, it'll knock you flat on your back if you're not careful." Linx stepped out from behind the counter and headed to the door to the back room. "Now, don't break anything..."

*Kade couldn't help but take that as a bit of an insult.* "I wasn't planning on it..." *He said a bit sourly as he followed Linx, it's not like he was a baby or anything...*

"Well, no, I'm just saying that because I have a repeater rifle completely disassembled on the counter here and if you even touch some of these parts the wrong way..." Linx headed into the back room, which he had forgotten was completely pitch dark with the windows shut, and tripped on an ammo box before he knew what was even going on. He sprawled out over the wooden floor in complete darkness, afraid to move for fear of hitting something sharp. "...Ow!"

*Kade couldn't see anything in the back room but he had seen Linx trip as he walked in before dissapearing into the darkness. He called out worriedly.* "Linx, are you ok?" *Not much he could do on his part...*

Linx gingerly rolled to the side and worked up to a standing posture, still worried about hitting something in the dark. "I'm OK," he called out to the illuminated front room obscured by Kade's shadow, "I just... Fell over an ammo box or something, we should probably get a torch in here."

*There where plenty of torches and Kade immidiatly grabbed one. He looked around for something to light it with and found the stuff needed to make a spark and did so readily. The spark lit the torch and a flame grew upon it. He held it forward into the poorly illuminated back room to see Linx just standing there, not moving, not wanting to hit anything.* "Well, this should help some.*

Linx slowly approached and reached out with a paw to take the torch from Kade. Maybe if he just kept acting normal, the mouse wouldn't notice that he'd just made himself look like an idiot. "Do you mind if I take that? I'll just light the other ones, on their brackets... And then we can see what we're doing."

*Kade let Linx take the torch and shook his head.* "I'd rather see what I was doing instead of holding onto that torch." *There still wasn't a heck of a lot of light so it was kind of hard to make out what was back there.*

"Well... Same here..." Using the torch to illuminate his path, Linx circled the perimeter of the room and lit every torch he encountered on the way. By the time he was done, the room was very well-illuminated and he fit the torch into an empty bracket by the door. "So let's take a look at one of these repeater rifles, shall we?"
