The long months spent on the journey to America had been taxing. Samuel began to take on a new appreciation of just how comforting Bon Bon had been, and would always be for him. The rest of the world seemed cold and alien to him now, but the sight of the town on the road ahead was like basking in the warm glow of the sun.

Coming into town on the main road, Samuel paused a moment at his shop, "A Tux of Class". The windows were dusty, the sign seemed faded, and it gave an all around feeling of some haunted and forgotten place. It was for him, a sign of the time lost and he wondered if he would feel like a ghost, returning to a place that may have well changed in his absence.

"Good to be home, now it seems I have work to do" The tiger spoke, to no one in particular. The shop would need cleaned, the sign would need fresh paint, and most of all, he'd need to work on a fresh supply of clothes.

With key in hand, Samuel entered his shop for the first time in what had seemed like far too long.

Dorian was out on his routine walk of the town. Humming old Irish jigs and walking to their beat. He walked by the tailors shop and then stopped his humming. He looked and noticed the door was open, he got closer and looked inside through the window. Seeing someone in their he quickly darted around to the door. Knocking before he fully entered

"Heeeellloo in there I believe yo have a customer, may I enter"

Dorian had been wearing London clothing ever since his arrival in Bon Bon. He figured a new suite made Bon Bon style would suffice for his new lifestyle.

Samuel was quick to turn in surprise. Given the state of his shop, he had figured he wouldn't be seeing any customers. The face was not one he recognized, not entirely a surprise given that Bon Bon had many people coming and going.

"Sorry to say that I hadn't been expecting anybody to stop by." Samuel said as he came from the back of the store wearing a white apron and brandishing a broom. "I was out of town resolving some disputes with the shipping company in charge of my materials and my poor shop is more lackluster than I would normally keep it."

Then it struck Samuel that there could be a benefit to leaving the shop open. He was planning on ridding himself of the current stock, perhaps he could make some money in the process. Though he was honest enough to know anything he had would need marked down considerably, it was still better to make a florin or two then let it all go to waste.

"If you don't mind the dust, feel free to browse and I'll let you take anything here for a florin." Samuel said as he started sweeping the floors.

He looked around the shop and noticed the state of the shop as he described it. Though he didn't really care about the shop. Just the clothes he had stopped by for.

"Hey how about after I am done shopping, I help you clean. Oh and what company ships your products..."

Walking around he browsed, checking all the clothing.
