With a shudder and a faint muted *snap*, a figure appeared along the road outside the store. The light breeze rustled the tails of the black duster, and the bangs of dusty brown hair over his forehead beneath the fedora. Royal blue eyes shifted over the sign.. "A Stitch in Time". Yep.. that was definitely it.
He walked inside, eyes adjusting from the noonday sun to the comparatively darker interior of the shop, careful not to run into the racks of wares. Well-worn boots rang out quietly on the floorboards as he moved through to the back, to the counter along the right. The diminutive elfin female behind blinked at him, head tilted expectantly. "Can I help you?"
Toby cleared his throat and nodded. "Is Lydia in?" The elf didn't answer immediately, of which Toby approved. Rhydin was not a place where a stranger asking for you was usually a good thing. He went on, though. "My name is Toby... I'm a friend of hers. I was hoping to drop by and see her over lunch." He could only hope the staff knew the name, as he looked around at the displays. There was always the chance, too, he might actually see something he could get as a gift for someone.
