"Afraid I don't have much dross or the like... I was just delivering the food, and the message" Her eyes stay riveted on the work "I'm glad you were able to help the lady with her business. these really are..well, like you said, sure isn't only the wee ones with dreams"

She shrugs

“Oh, mmmm. Well, no harm in letting ‘em catch a little light while I have me one of Mari’s sandwiches.” He gives her a smile. “They’re like flowers you know, the more sun they get, the more they glow.”

She puts them out while he eats "thanks." A blush under her stony cheeks

And he watches, over bites of a darn good roast beef sandwich, which ones she may linger on, which ones catches her eye, from a box of nearly two dozen of various styling. “Say last, you’re one of them... no, its not Millennials any more, is it? Or are you Zoomers now?”

"Gen Z" She nods "Or Zoomer"

“Which of those would you say speaks to you? You gotta have a finger on the pulse of the new generation, they say, to make sales these days. And most mornings, I’m glad I woke up with a pulse!”

"Oh gee. I don't know. I don't have enough money to be much of a consumer" She says "What's it called.. Athleisure, stylish exercise clothing oh.. tiny sunglasses and tye dye bucket hats" A nod "LEast if I go by what I've seen folks go nuts for on tik tok and the like"

He gestures at the collection of sun catchers. “Do kids still like this stuff? I think I’m too old to learn a new trick just like Miss Ellen who made these, but festivals are closed this year the country over, so I’m running dry on places to sell.” A soft sigh. “Oh, I can still go to holdings, but our folk are having it tough too, which makes it hard to show up and sell Knick knacks from an old paddy whack. Last little freehold I popped by, they were certainly polite, but two days without even a silver spoon sold, and scarce anything to mend, and I was on my way even with another day of hospitality awaiting. And don’t get me started at these Dee-Eye-Why-ers. They think they can watch some Tube video and fix things I learned a lifetime to mend.” Getting into a bit of a right fuss.

"I can't speak for everyone, but I like them" She admits"You should try to sell these. I bet Bluebell or Marigold might like them" And she thinks "Have you thought of using the Covid to sell them? Let a little more light into your Autumn? :put this in your window kind of thing?"

“I see... if only ye could look at the world through rose-tinted glasses in these troubles. Well, these may be the next best thing. It may need workshopping but it has potential!” A thoughtful nod. “see, I tend to carry that which I know is needed. Or what I know would sell, But I couldn’t leave these to linger in a dark store window, see? I wonder if I a touch of our own good light might inspire her to make some more specific designs that would appeal to our folk.” Thinking aloud now.

"An black glass panther for those missing Chad Bosemen, a woman's head with the lacy collar and glasses for those that miss RBG and.. " She pauses "You mean enchantment? Oh that's up to you. I'm not sained. So I don't do the big choices on Right of ignorance versus right to Dream"

“More, I meant, perhaps, a rainbow gear shaft for a Nocker, perhaps a silver dragon for an Ailil, or a Marigold for a Marigold.” A smile. “Maygaps not THAT specific. The problem is with folk being used to Amazons bringing them gifts day in and day out at the click o’ a phone, waiting for a Traveling sales fellow like myself to come around a few times a year doesn’t have the same appeal. Ah, timelessness.” And he chuckles. “But surely you didn’t mean to come listen to an old Chlurichaun natter on.”

(Sleeeeeep?)

"Holidays are coming up.. that'll help" she assures and rises "It was nice talking to you"
