John Vicari
A rustle and thud from one side of the store, then shuffling steps as Dominac's head peeked out from behind a row of shelves. "Vicari?" he said, eyes darting up and down the boy. "Vicari. Didn't seem one to let her boy go wondering off by himself in the big, bad world," he cackled, making his way over to John and peering up at him. "Then again, she was always a tricky one, was Amy. I imagine you've a few tricks up your sleeve as well, yes, young man?" Shrewd eyes met his for a moment, and then he laughed again, a little less nicely this time, and shuffled around John towards the other side of the store.
"Hello Mr. Ariva. Yeah she is letting me off but on a short leash yet I hear cookies may be coming your way. You know how Father cooks but between you and me he needs better lessons." John said passing a bit of time as he smiled at the old man. Most said he was rude yet he was never that rude with John, just showed how far manners went.
"Sorry to bug you Sir but was wondering if I could get a part time job here. My Calligraphy is getting a lot better now since I got that Calligraphy Kit from you awhile ago. I use it often as I can." He said like a little kid trying something new. Yet it was just the passion John had when it came to prints and books. He was in love with them really.
"If it helps I won't ask much of a pay until I learn more of the shop and such. Just want to work and keep busy as well as helping my family out with funds. You know my grandmother, Rose, she is no longer able to do much anymore other then be wants left alone."
