"Hi! Welcome!" Frendo called out for probably the 7th time in the last hour. Tonight he was working at a small book store that evidently got very busy! His perky, high pitched voice reverberated through the store each time he greeted a troll walking in, and while it was a friendly call, it was still loud and excessive for a quiet book store. So after he called out yet again, the greenblood who had agreed to taking him on for the evening came up and told him that perhaps he could wander the store? Put books back where they belong and help patrons with anything they might need, as long as he kept his voice down.
Frendo's eyes gleamed with excitement. Wow! He felt like he was being promoted(completely oblivious) and eagerly nodded and hopped off the little stool he had been given while standing behind the counter. Laughdads was curled up as small as they could in the back, and raised their heads as Frendo nearly skipped past them. "I get to go help patrons!" he told them excitedly, coming to an almost halt but still too eager to do his new job. Laughdads huffed, gave him a look that said 'be careful' and 'do well' and then went back to their nap.
"I will!" Frendo peeped before making his first round through the maze of shelves. For a small shop, the greenblood had sure put a lot of booknook units around. Frendo giggled as he thought about the idea of becoming lost in this maze of paper and binding. At least he could brush up on his trivia! There were bound to be loads of interesting books to read on these shelves!
It was about an hour, and several satisfied customers, later that Frendo came upon a seadweller. His jaw dropped and he audibly gasped. WOOOOOOOW. He was always amazed by seadwellers, they lived such cool lives(underwater WHAT!?) and he was sure they had all kinds of interesting plants down on the ocean floor! The orangeblood approached with gusto, unafraid of the highblood, and announced himself with perky loudness, "HI! Whatcha doin'? I mean, obviously lookin at books, but! Do ya need any help findin' anything? Carry somethin fur ya?" he smiled his biggest, toothiest smile and rocked back and forth on his bare feet, eagerness oozing out of every pore. Oh he was gunna show this highblood just how good he could be at being subservient. He was gunna BLOW her mind! Or at least give the seadweller a nice lowblood to pick on. Either way, he was happy!

Polair came all the way from Civisect to New Hemisect City in her search for knowledge! And perhaps to feed her book obsession. She had heard of a shop that sold a variety of book in all shapes and sizes. Instead of her regular two piece swimsuit, Polair wore a black one pice with stars on her hue and sheer on the sides and had a mesh jacket wrapper around her waist. Of course, once she arrived the place the highblood couldn't help but rush to the astronomy section.
With more than enough books cradled on her arms, Polair kept looking through the store using her cane occasionally just to avoid slamming into things. Just as she was about to go to the braille section, a loud childish voice rang in her spongeclots. She seemed very disoriented by the sudden onslaught of questions but followed the sound of his voice and looked down. Being a tall beanpole did had its downfalls sometimes, specially when dealing with kids.
"Uh. Yes. I mean no. I mean..." She said dumbfounded. "N-no thanks! I'm good." She said, patting the child's head. She could do it herself, Polair was independent enough! With enough stamina, she staggered off to find the braille section. Sure these books were heavy, but she couldn't bother someone with that silly task! She had to handle that herself!

"But dat's what I'm here fur, jussa petty orangeblood, here ta cater and serve!" it was probably one of his more well practiced sales pitches, and often worked when he was trying to get some silly job to earn a couple beetles. He toddled along beside her, and nearly bumped into the seadweller as she came to a sudden stop and insisted she was where she wanted to be.
Frendo paused to read on of the book titles, A HOT and DANGEROUSLY SAUCY Science Fiction Adventure In Which The Protagonist and Antagonist Take Their Blackrom To The Next Level With--" he stopped there, because the description became a little to mature for his wee mind, instead he laughed a little and stuttered, "U-uuh, I s'pose dees could be, uh, educational? Are ya sure dis is right? I don' mean ta question ya!" he was starting to get the feeling this seadweller couldn't read or something...though why would she be at a bookstore if she couldn't read?
And that cane.
...
OOOOOOH. It was like a little lightbulb suddenly came on, and Frendo papped a fist into the palm of his other hand, and added, "I can show ya where da bumpy letter books are at, I saw dem earlier!" Nice, that's a really delicate way to go about it. 100% professional.

Frendo nodded, then paused, and added, "Yeah! Dis way," before grabbing at her hand with the cane, and giving her a gentle lead in the right direction. As they walked, he felt her embarassment, and frowned. She was a seadweller, she shouldn't be ashamed! Sure, she was blind, but she was also highblood, and had so many advantages! She was always going to be better, and more awesome and smarter and stronger! With or without her sight, "Almost der," he peeped as they turned another corner and came into the isle with braille.
Frendo came to a stop with an enthusiastic "Tada!" and a flourish of his hands(for his own enjoyment) and then glanced up at Polair, "I bet you're lookin' somethin' cool huh?" he imagined her getting some great book on some really cool subject, and being the highblood she was, acing and understanding all it's contents without a struggle. So cooooool.

Frendo nodded eagerly, even though she couldn't see it, and chirped, "Yup! I sure can do dat, der are some comfy lookin chairs to ya left, iffin ya wanna sit down!" he controlled the urge to point in the direction of said furniture, and instead scurried over to the general section of the braille books. It took him a minute to find what she was looking for, seeing as someone had missorted the books and he needed to reorganize them(it was one of his jobs today!), but after several minutes the little orangeblood came hurrying over to Polair with the book she wanted, and held it out infront of him like a grand prize.
"I found it!" he squeaks with pleasure, happy to be of service to such a troll as the seadweller before him. She obviously was a smart, confident troll, and he was just in awe at how dignified she was. He had seen very few sea dwellers who bothered to talk to him, so meeting, AND HELPING!, Polair was quite a treat. And the fact that he had succeeded at his task for her was the cherry on top of it all!
