Had hoped to do this at a better time but knowing this place that sure won't happen.

[And he could make a snide remark about everyone thinking they have some bright idea regarding shit that happened as if people hadn't tried a thing in the past, but he'll keep his mouth shut there for now and just actually try to not curse in every sentence like he normally does.]

So some may have seen some of the fliers I've put up already, but if you haven't I'm opening up a shop called Odds and Ends Components to sell stuff for making potions and other stuff that can be useful here. If I don't got it and it's not illegal to obtain, just ask and I'll name a price for me to go get it for you. Doesn't matter how dangerous it is to get. That just makes it more fun for me.

What I do need before opening is a couple of employees to help with the day to day running so I can concentrate solely on obtaining the merchandise and making it ready to be sold. Need one of those people who can be nice to anyone and can trusted to work even if I'm not around.

Going to try to open before the middle of the month, assuming no shit happens and I can find some people.

[Business info can be found here though it's still a work in progress. He'll go ahead and include the address of the shop before ending the message.]

I was going on a quest through the forest this weekend
Any herbs you may need? Lots of rosehips, mushrooms, yellow-sun root around this month
I don't mind bringing some for you

I have no specific needs yet. Once I'm open you're welcome to bring what you gather by. If the quality is good and I can use it, I'd buy it off you.

Oh, very well then I can certainly do that
I could use the gold

I wish you luck in your new business
May your coffers fill and run over

So can everyone. The inn was crowded back when I arrived too so I couldn't wait to get out. I ain't got no need for overflowing coffers, just making enough to cover my needs works for me.

Ah! I should have said, I wish you success with your venture.

In my village we used plants for medicinal tea and to make things, like soap. If I can collect enough, perhaps I can make things that may be useful for the displaced people... I know nothing about money or business, but I do know plants.

How long ago was it, that you arrived, sir?

Been here since before the Spring Equinox, just before we got a second type of magic.

Six or seven moons, then. In that time, have you made many friends, or decided a "pastime" that you like?

Fighting shit has always been something I do. Hunting is just a different way of doing it. Also spend time coming up with interesting uses for my two magic types.

[And he's not touching that friend bit at all. Not anyone's business in his opinion.]

[Hmmm. Souma was asking in order to get an idea of what to expect after the same amount of time. He frowns, bringing his fingers up to rub his chin.

This sounds boring.]

Well
I think that if this is all there is to do here, i am glad to have a few pass-times
I had to hunt enough in the last year that I am good for quite some time
I do like to go fishing though
And sewing
And bake bread

While I cannot offer my services as a shop girl, keep me abreast of any particularly dangerous or troublesome items you're asked to deliver.

Someone has to keep you in check, and it appears I've decided to be that person. So if you're going into danger, you go with me at your side. Understood?

Didn't ask you to decide that and you got plenty to do already.

[Because really, he doesn't want to put her into danger either. She's not exactly immortal here after all.]

I don't know much about managing a store. [And you probably wouldn't want to trust him in the store anyway. Who knows what he could make go wrong?]

But if you need a guy to go on those supply runs for you, then I'm that guy! It sounds just like taking on commissions back in Mondstadt, haha!

Not sure if I'll need someone yet, but you'd definitely be one of the first I'd call upon if I do.

I could help out if you want, though I've only ever had experience working at a convenience store. I can run the counter, balance your register, run inventory.

I also know of a potion shop a friend of mine is starting, and you may be able to partner with her as well as other alchemist business owners. Just an idea. I can help with business networking if you need that.

But I won't be able to start working until mid November. I can start sooner, but need to take a sort of medical leave-of-absence at the start of November.

If you want an official interview, I can show up to speak with you in person.

[Honestly sounds like this person knows more than he does about the actual running of a shop.]

Wouldn't even know what is official. You okay with working for a somewhat obvious non-human who is better suited for breaking up bar fights than playing nice with customers? If you can deal with me, I may be able ti figure out a way to make things work.

[Because he'd already considered possibly hiring a third to handle some of the tedious work with prepping product for sale and that person is backup for covering breaks and such. So maybe this could work.]

I'd rather deal with non-humans any day than humans.

Also I'm good in a scrap and won't back down. I'm good at setting boundaries, so I won't just hand over merchandise or try to accommodate customers who cannot afford your wares.

My familiar likes to swallow up any odd thing at the bottom of the sea or the lake, so if you need ingredients under water, he can help. But I see you have plenty of people offering to help you in resource gathering.

It's fine for me if you just need someone to help run the shop.

Sounds like this could work well. I'd definitely prefer if you could work up until you need to go on leave and I'll come up with something to make sure the shop is covered then.

Your familiar's skills may be helpful. I am more inclined to lean towards having materials obtained underwater be custom order only rather than regularly stocked, but really won't know where the demands are until we got customers.

Let me know when to start, and I'll be there.
