~~The shop seems nice and open, with neat shelves lining the walls, filled with boxes of magic tricks, juggling ball kits, and anything you'd want to join the circus, although you'd quickly notice that the magic tricks dominate the rest. Everything is tidy, sorted, and dustless, giving the store an impression of a place just waiting for customers.
"Feel free to look around."
A young man, most likely the owner of the store, tells you, before strolling off to re-arrange a card display.
If you do, theres no doubt you'll find something interesting, or someone to talk to, at least.~~

With a jingling of bells, Kimarie opens the front door and pokes her head inside. Her light brown hair is puled back into a pony tail, and her gray eyes dart around the inside of the store.
"Whoa..." She whispers in awe. "This place is awesome!" She opens the door all the way and steps inside. She's wearing a hoodie, darkly washed jeans and sneakers, a watch round her left wrist.
Head tilting back, Kimarie looks all around, trying to get in the whole store at once. Turning around, she backed into the store to see where she had come from, clearly amazed by all the neat things in the store.
Turning back around, her gray eyes swept across the floors, the shelves. "Cool!"

You like it?
**Simon walks up, having left his desk. today's one of those slow days, and company will be nice. He's wearing his usual jeans, and a blue checkered vest over a long-sleeved white t-shirt. His hair flops around, as if trying to make itself be noticed, and he pats it down with an off-handed movement. The wooden fish tied around his neck dangles down, and he smiles.** Are you looking for anything in particular miss?

Kimarie was so surprised to see the store owner, that she spun around. Laughins, she grinned. "This place is great!" She smiled, putting her hands into her pockets. "And no not really. I was wandering by and I saw the store and thought it looked really neat!"
She was given her allowance, and maybe she was able to buy something really cool with it. Most of the time she bought pencils, sketchbooks, or books in all. But this place gave her a sense of wonder. It was over all, very VERY cool.
"What do you sell in here?" sHe asks in a mist of wonder. "There's so much stuff!"

**Simon's smile widens. It wasn't every day, especially in such a small town, that you met someone as enthusiastic about magic as you. To answer her question, he spreads his arms, motioning to the wide shelve.** Here? We sell everythingyou need to perform anywhere! **He laughs** But mostly, we sell magic tricks. We've got a couple juggling things and devilsticks and all, but well, magic is what I like best... **He smiles again, bringing his hands back in and taking a step back.** Some I made myself, actually. And then some things are from other magicians. ** Suddenly, something flashes through his eyes, and he stares the young girl down for an instant. the next second the stare has past, but his smile has widened. this man has an idea, and he likes it.**

Kimarie smiled. She liked this guy. He was very enthusiastic. Much liek herself in a way. She grins and looks around in awe as he mentions about the store.
"Magic tricks?" Her gray eyes flicked aroudn the store then back to the Store Owner. "Really? You're a magician!!??" There was no way she could hold back her voice from growing excited.
This was just like in the stories. When the little innocent girl walks into a room filled with strange things and an amazing sorcerer with fancy tricks.
"A magician. Wow! That's so cool!" Kimarie smiled at him. His grin grew wider, and he watched her for a few moments. She shifted her position, slightly, blinking. "What?" She frowns. "You seem to be plotting something..."

Thanks! **With a twinkle of his eyes, Simon bows theatrically, chuckling at her amazement.** It's nice to find someone so enthusiastic about my art here **Still smiling, he shrugs off her second question with and introduction.** I'm Armand Espeleian, but call me Simon. It's so much easier to say in English. **He holds out his hand.** And you are?

Kimarie grins.How could anyone NOT like it! The store was filled with things to look at. An overall 'look and be amazed' store. She loved it. Rarely did Kimarie come across such a place. There was the Hangman's Tree and that was it.
She smiled at his introductory bow. She grinned and applauded with a laugh. Taking hsi hand, she shook it. "My name is Kimarie Jones. You can call me Kimarie, or Kimarie-Ju... that's what my brother calls me." She smiles.

Nice to meet you Kimarie. **Simon says sincerely, shaking her hand for a few second before letting go. He may be almost ten years older then her, but this man is obviously not the kind of person who talks down to teens. He looks at her for a second more before asking.** So, you really like magic, don't you?

Kimarie nodded. This Simon guy was really nice. "I've never actually tried any magic tricks, but I've seen some of the kids my age try some of them. My mum says I've got quite and imagination, and I suppose that's the only magic I've got." She scratches the back of her neck and smiles.
"It never seases to amaze me." That much was true. Kimarie had seena few people try. Hopefulyl this guy was much better. After all, he owned his own shop and had all day to play with all his ... toys. She giggled at the thought.

Well, you've come to the right place to learn! **He laughs.** We've got everything for any level **He continues smiling, and he's been at it so much its a wonder his face hasn't fallen off... maybe its stuck like that.** I was actually wondering if you'd like to make a little money- you could work for me. **It was odd for a store owner to ask some random passerby to work for him, but Simon isn't anyone. He's got a good feeling about this girl, and he decides to trust it. Besides, this 'job' he's offering isn't a very common one. He needs someone as enthusiastic as her to agree to do it.**

Kimarie's eyes stretch wide. What would her mum think? She had just met this person, and all ready she was offered a ... job. A job. In a magic store. How cool!? She just walked in and loved the place, and Simon was trusting her with such a responsibility.
She smiled. "I'd have to check with my mum but..." She took a deep breath.
"That would be so awesome! I'd really like that!" she grinned. "Oh! On one condition..." She grinned slyly. "You teach me some basic magic tricks..." She giggled with a wink.

**Simon's smile falters for a second- parents. crud. He'd forgotten those. His idea would most likely be stopped by the girl's mother. but he might as well tell her.** Well, it's not just a regular job you see... and it would definitely involve learning magic tricks. See... **He shuffles his feet a little. This is the first time he's ever asked anyone something like this.** I need an assistant. **He looks at the girl carefully one more time, and decides that this /is/ a good idea.** Not in the shop though- on stage

Kimarie's eyes stretched wider. She was expecting soemthing like, cleaning up afterwards, helping people out, reaching onto shelves with a ladder. Those kind of things. Simple things. But an assistant?! No way! Just her luck! Kiamrie was estatic.
"An assistant? Me! Really!!!!!" She asks, her eyes getting bigger. She grins. "That's so awesome!" She spins around in a small circle to show her excitement.
"I always wanted to be on a stage before. I really hope mum think's it's okay. I don't see why not!" She grins. Her smile faded. "Then again, when will these performances be? Do you know for sure?"
She looked down at her feet, shoving her hands in her pockets. "Mum likes to know things ahead of time." She smiles. "Just the way she is!"

**Simon brings up his hands** No need to get too excited just yet, I still haven't told you what you'll be doing! **He laughs, a little uncertainly this time. Talk about parents makes him nervous.** The shows'll be every once and a while. I can let you know... two weeks in advance? **He off-handedly re-arranges a box of juggling balls that are teetering on a shelf.**
