[The storefront isn't a complete disaster, but it could still use some work. A new paint job on the front door and awning would be a good start. Said door opens inward, and a gloved hand motions Jyuza inside.]
This way. To the back.
["Eli" is already heading that way. He's a slight young man, slightly older than Jyuza but smaller so it's easy to assume the opposite. As he walks he starts to scratch absently at one gloved hand before quickly stopping himself.
As for the interior, it's mostly empty aside from a couple boxes and could use a good dusting. There's a stairway leading up to a second floor but it's currently blocked off with rope.]
There are more boxes in the back alley that need to be brought in.
[Juza's seen things that looked a whole lot worse. The theater dorm's warehouse, for example, looks like nobody's attempted to straighten it out in a decade. Which may or may not be true. They should probably attempt some spring cleaning there at some point.
He follows in step with Eli. It doesn't really matter to him how old his employer is, and he also knows some people think he's a few years older than he looks. The opposite can happen with other people too.]
Just want me to bring them in?
[As long as they're reasonably packed boxes it shouldn't be too hard.]
Yes. There's no hurry, so don't overexert yourself.
[He'd rather have them all in slowly then have to stop their efforts halfway on account of exhaustion. Their inventory isn't large and most of the toys are lightweight so it shouldn't be too difficult to lift most of them anyway. The task shouldn't be too daunting.
Near wouldn't be able to do it himself at all.]
If you could stack them neatly in the back room I'd appreciate it. We can organize them from there.
[Even without the turnskin stamina and power, he's done plenty of box lifting and moving back home. With how light these boxes are, it doesn't really tire him out at all.
It also doesn't take him particularly long to do it either. In an hour or so, all the boxes are in and stacked in the room Eli's asked for them to be in.]
[Near doesn't offer any gratitude just yet. He's already moving on to the next item on the agenda.]
I don't have any cleaning supplies. [Nor is he entirely sure what's even available in this place with its odd level of technology.] But we can spare a couple pieces of that in order to get some dusting done. We'll have to do with simply wetting them down. The tap in the back should be working.
I'm just one man, and I can't craft our whole inventory myself. All the plush animals were outsourced, which means I wasn't responsible for packing up them or the requested supplies.
[Considering how short of a time he's been here, he thinks he's done fairly well doing something he's never done before. Having to search through boxes like this is a small price to pay.]
[Near is tempted to answer "No" and simply let the other boy continue cleaning on his own. He isn't exactly built for any sort of manual labor. That's what he's hiring employees for.
But it would reflect poorly on him if he just sat there. He's not back in his world where he does all the thinking and the rest is left to his team.]
...I suppose I should. Let me get a bowl.
[He'll fill it with some water to save them trips.]

Do you know which one?
[Because otherwise Juza's just going to start opening up each and every box in an attempt to find the fabric.]
no subject
There should be at least one labeled "fabric" if my instructions were followed, but I can't guarantee it.
[He'd hate to have to go through all of them. It would be such a waste of time.]

[He doesn't do any arts and crafts, but one of his troupemates at home did.
Eventually he manages to pull out the fabric box, pulling it open. Is there the actual fabric they need inside?]
no subject
[Near wanders over to peek inside himself.]
Even if there aren't, we can repurpose any of the extra fabric. It can always be replaced.
[The seamstresses tended to supply their own anyway.]
Now wet it down and start dusting. It doesn't matter where you start.

Sure. You gonna join me?
[He doesn't really mind if it's a solo affair, but he's also literally right there.]
