Today, Adrian was more or less stuck on duty as one of the many cashiers. It was a pretty slow day to be honest and there was no telling if it was going to pick up if at all. Behind the counter, Adrian was working on whittling a bird out of some of the spare wood that they had around. So far it was not all that structured but he was making good strides toward it, or at least he hoped so. His father was not in the shop today. Mostly it was due to the fact that he had told his father to go have a day for himself and Adrian's mother. It was not often that the parents had time to hang out and enjoy each others company.<br/><br/>There were enough supervisors here to cover for his father's absence and even though Adrian was not a "paid" worker, he listened to what they told him and respected the authority that they had earned. None of them seemed to care about his whittling of the wood since it was so slow and some of the customers were actually a little entertained by Adrian doing so. After work was over, he was going to head home to go work on a little secret project where he was going to be a secret passage to his room instead of the usual door. Maybe he would even start a conversion of it into a panic room if he ever got time.<br/><br/>Adrian was not doing it because he was paranoid for his own safety but more for his parents. Elliquiy was not a dangerous town by any real stretch of the imagination but he knew that his parents had enemies. Any successful business owner has them, and he was going to protect them from harm as best he could. If he had to sacrifice his bedroom to do so then so be it. Soon he was going to get his own apartment anyway. Before he got too lost in his thoughts, a customer appeared and he began to help them out before returning to whittling after the transaction was over.
