Though Nuadha often worked hard, he usually got far to distracted to finish all he needed to do. This was normal and expect from a kid his age so most people didn't question it. They had no idea it was all a play just to keep a cover that was not entirely needed since most of them would have never known anyway. His days were usually not all to busy at the shop. He would call for deliveries, wait for them to arrive, set them up, then pretty much twiddle his thumbs as he waited for the few customers who would come in. Sometimes he would get really busy but most of the time he was not. His busy times mostly were around feasts or holidays. When he was doing nothing else he would fiddle with the chess board that set on his counter, often playing himself.

This day he had spent most of the morning gathering all of the deliveries that he had called in for. He was known in the Agricultural section for buying the strange fruits they had experimented with growing in environments that were not known for growing them. Today he had received a bunch of pineapples and coconuts. If they did not sell he would simply pack them up and send them down to Delta and hope that the people down there could use them. If they did sell he usually made a big profit since most other vendors would leave these kinds of foods alone causing the agricultural guys to sell them for really cheap.

He had just opened the first pack of them when the redhead walked in the shop. He had seen her in here before, her hair was a very distinguishing trait. She was a cute girl that had certain stance about her. She looked simply like she was going to burst into a dance at any moment. The scariest part is that at the same time she looked like she could kick your ass. However, Nuadha in his years had gained a bit of a way of reading people and when he read her she felt.. Familiar. That was the only way he could describe it. There was a lot about her that he wished to know. Of course She most likely didn't want to know anything about him.

"Mornin' Two-tone!" She said in a seemingly cheery state. Nuadha could only smile and raise his hand back to greet her. Sadly this was as close as he got to friends were the couple of people that came into the store and spoke to him in a friendly tone. He had never been close to people. It was not because he did not want to, it was because he never had a chance to. "Anything interesting today?" The girl had asked that question quite a few times before. Every time he had produced something that he thought was unique or interesting and half of the time she had, in almost disinterest, turned them down. Over the last few months of her coming in every week or so he had narrowed her tastes down to the wild side of things. He smiled and nodded holding up a pineapple.

"It depends, do you like Pineapples or Coconuts?" He asked cheerily as if he had finally hit the nail on the head and solved the puzzle of the girl.
