"Tell you what, I'll take you to the principal or a teacher and they can help you out." Goldie offers. You think for a second and shudder at the images in your mind. You don't really feel safe around most of the teachers in this school. Then there's the principal, Ms. Wayne, who you don't know anything about. Sapphire says she's nice, but that might only be because she hasn't done anything to get sent to her office. "Um, I'm not too sure about that." you say. "A lot of the staff here don't really think much of humans." Goldie sighs and looks away for a second. "I'm really sorry, but I can't be late for work." Then she looks back at you with an idea. "I know, if you're scared of staying here I can just take you to work and we can call your family from there." That sounds good, you can just get Maggie to pick you up from Goldie's job.
Soon you're on the dashboard of Goldie's car as she drives to work. "So where do you work?" you ask. "Oh just a little shoe shop." she answers. "How well does the store do? Most of the monsters I know don't even wear shoes." you say. "Well its a small shop, and we get by. Monsters like vampires and succubi wear shoes, and us leprechauns of course." she explains. As she says this she pulls into a parking lot near a chain of stores. She picks you up and gets out, heading for a store between two others. Upon entering you see aisles filled with shoes. Pretty impressive for such a small shop. "Okay, lets get you straightened out before I get any customers." Goldie says. She takes you to the back and picks up the phone. You give her Maggie's number and the call is made. Goldie explains everything and then hangs up. "Okay your wife said she'll be down to pick you up in about an hour. Until then just chill for a while." she says. "Thanks Goldie." you say.
A few minutes later Goldie is sorting shoes while you watch. You notice that every so often she opens a box and cleans a pair. "Are you a neat freak?" you ask. Goldie looks slightly embarrassed before answering. "Kind of. Its a leprechaun thing. Whenever I see dirty shoes I can't help but clean them." she tells you. "Is that why you work in a shoe store?" you ask. "No thats a coincidence." she says. "I just had to get a job somewhere because I'm too young to work in my family's pub." She continues to work as you ask more questions. "Whats your boss like?" you ask. "She's an elf, and she's really nice. She actually made some of the shoes we sell." Goldie says.
