He'd had a customer call earlier looking for a certain book, in the middle of trying to find it was when Sindre had come into the bookstore and tripped over him. Toris hadn't realized that there'd been a customer here even, he told himself that he really needed to pay attention to other things in the store rather than getting focused on one task. He seemed to miss so much whenever that happened.
When he'd heard his name being called rather than someone simply asking for help or other such thing when most could come into the Book Alley, Toris blinked up to see who it was and was surprised to see the somewhat familiar face of Sindre. He looked just as surprised to see the brunette as said brunette was surprised to see him

Sindre offered a small smile in return. "I...I have most definitely been better. Work was particularly troublesome today." An understatement, to be sure, but as Toris seemed to be friends with Feliks, he didn't want to disclose too much unless invited. Sindre certainly didn't understand how it worked, but to each his own.
"How have you been? It's been a while since I saw you last." Another understatement; Sindre honestly couldn't recall the last time they had spoken.
Reviving~! because I'm a horrible person XD but we already established thattoris_toriDecember 5 2010, 20:42:04 UTC
"Ah, busy as ever," Toris smiled gently picking up some more books to put away in various shelves, just because he was talking to a...friend?...associate?...customer?, didn't mean that he could just stop what he was doing. He'd gotten in trouble for that more than a few times from his boss, so he had to learn to do both at the same time, it worked better.
Taking a good look at Sindre he noticed the slightly frazzled air about him and wondered what could be causing that...then he remembered Feliks talking about his "hippie" friend quite frequently as of late and gave the other a sympathetic smile and he guessed, "So...I'm guessing Feliks has been giving you a hard time?" he said in a tone of someone that knew exactly what was going on.
"That's...an understatement," Sindre sighed. "He started a fire in the shop today. No one was injured, but...just another hassle to deal with." He grimaced as he pictured the utter disaster that was the afternoon. "He paid to cover the damages, at least. That's more than I had honestly expected out of him."
Again, not quite true. Sindre had told Feliks that his future was going to be extremely important and therefore more expensive, and named a price that ought to cover the damaged books. Feliks had believed him completely, sadly enough, and it all worked out fine. Minus Sindre now having to find a new display table.
