Azu was getting a little confused with all the activity going on around her. There were people in the shop calling out requests, running up to the counter and talking to the shop owner while she was still doing her business. She was beginning to get angry for it.

I hope that will be sufficient?"[/color] She tried to look the shopkeeper in the eye, but now he looked too much like her father to make that practical. Instead she focused on his chest, trying to regain control of her emotions before they betrayed her.
