Lyra frowned at the paper in her hands, reading it over once more before setting it aside with a sigh. Around her shoulders Artur hissed, his head peaking between the strands of hair as his black eyes stared down at the paper.
"I never cared for logistics, you know." she said to the snake, scratching its scales affectionately, "The scripts were all that I needed, and though I would often handle the upkeep of my own goods, I never wished to deal with the likes of this."
The papers across her desk were a series of ledgers and lists, each one marked and labeled in Lyra's own neat handwriting as she steadily tallied up her current inventory and expenditures. One paper was filled with names of inks, along with their prices. Another was a listing of vendors in Kalzasi that could supply the shop's various needs, with Jacun's Alchemy shop being near the top. Ledger upon ledger was scattered across every available space on the top of her desk.
Frowner even harder the more she looked Lyra finally stood and turned her back to the offending paperwork. Instead, she moved down the long hallway of her shop, stopping at a shelf near the end that was now half-filled with wands of various sizes. Next to the shelf was a large crate that held boxes of various sizes, items she had been working on for several days that we're finally ready to go out for display. These she began unwrapping one by one, placing them on the shelf in neat rows and checking the wards on the shelves themselves as she went.
The ledgers would be there when she got finished. For now, if Lyra saw one more table of numbers she was likely to set the entire shop on fire and start anew somewhere else...
