video; un: reiner

[hometown]

[ The video begins with Reiner (tall, blond, handsome, serious-looking) standing in front of a small curio shop with various stone and wood sculptures on display in the window. The sculptures are all well-made and unique, clearly created by hand. ]

Hey, everyone. For those who don't know me, I'm Reiner Braun. I've been here for a long time. And I'm here to announce the grand opening of my shop.

[ He pans up to show the sign: BraunSphere. ]

I'm selling little trinkets and stuff. I'm also selling amulets with defensive properties. Only defensive; don't ask me about offensive enchantments.

[ He pans the camera back down, showing off the merchandise in the window. It's quite an impressive display! ]

If you find something you like but it doesn't quite suit, I do take custom orders. And if you like Amberfall and you'd wanna work at a place like this, let me know. I'm hiring. Full or part-time, your choice.

Thanks.

[ Reiner emerges from the shop with the tinkling of a bell, smiling again when he lays eyes on the … very big dog. ]

Hey, Amaterasu. I'm glad you could come by.

[ He holds his hand out on instinct. They can shake!!! ]

[doggoduties]

[Oh! She knows what this is and places her paw on his. It's warm and gives him immediate touch energy, confirming her otherworlder status as well.]

It's nice to meet you, Reiner.

[hometown]

Nice to meet you, too.

[ He turns to open the door. ]

Come on inside. I'll show you around, and you can see how you like the place.

[ Perhaps due to Reiner's seasonal power or perhaps due to its location in Amberfall, the shop has a very Autumn vibe. It's quiet and tranquil, smelling faintly of crushed leaves. ]

[doggoduties]

[Amaterasu takes her time sniffing around (very dog-like) and looking around. While she enjoys seasons like summer more, autumn has its own charms that she tends to like. Crushing leaves, for example, so the faint scent is very charming.

Her tail wags.]

This place is beautiful. I like what you've done here.

[hometown]

Thank you. [ Reiner smiles. ] I wanted it to feel … safe.

[ And it does, to him. Very safe indeed. ]

Over here is where I have—

[ And off he goes giving her the tour, showing her where everything is. He points out which pieces are enchanted and which aren't, as well as the properties of each amulet and how they're labeled. By the end of it, it's evident that Reiner has been working on this for a long, long time, even if he's just now opened up the store. ]

I only offer defensive enchantments. There are a lot of reasons for it, but it's a hard line. Anyone who asks after offensive stuff gets a firm no.

[doggoduties]

[Amaterasu definitely also feels safe. It's a cozy shop. Even if she wouldn't get a job she would at least protect it from afar, she thinks.]

I respect you for that. Defensive enchantments are far more important and I'm glad you only focus on those.

[She has used talismans to issue damage, but usually only whenever she's really struggled.]

My wish is to always protect people, but I enjoy peace far more than combat.

[hometown]

So do I, [ Reiner says, nodding. ] After the attack a few weeks ago, I think it's more important than ever that people focus on defending themselves.

[ He pauses for a moment, then smiles at her. ]

Well, if you want the job, it's yours. Just tell me what accommodations you'll need. I don't guess the chairs would be too comfortable for breaks… Do you want a bed behind the counter?

[doggoduties]

[The happiest tail wag!!]

Oh, thank you. I promise to work hard.

[This is her first official job, how exciting! It's not like she had time to work when saving Nippon.]

Hmm... a bed might be good. I do like taking naps occasionally. Otherwise, I don't need much.

[hometown]

I'll get you the comfiest bed I can find.

[ That's a promise!! ]
