"I dunno..." Nicole sighed. "I don't think I've ever...I told you to stop asking."

"No you didn't," Tayla replied.

"Tayla!"

"But you didn't..." Tayla mumbled stubbornly. "You told me to stop staring."

"Excuse me?" Nicole said to the goblin. "How long will it take to get to vault 416?"

Walking ahead of the small family, Quizzit let out a sigh. Yes, goblins did smile but not often and usually not on busy days. His ears pricked up at the question directed at him. "The cart ride is a little over an hour, ma'am."

Not really all that long in comparison for deeper vaults but it was the price to pay for top notch security. Waddling down the sloping pathway, Quizzit sighed in relief when it opened up into the tracks and he saw Bijou. Giving her a business like nod to bring her over, he handed her his ledger and their key. "Bijou if you would be so kind as to escort these people to vault 416."

Giving them a slight bow, he turned around heading back towards his teller window.

Accepting the items, Bijou gave the woman and her daughter a stern look before directing them to the tracks. Bringing up her wrinkled hands to her lips, she let out a shrill whistle. Within a matter of seconds, a cart rumbled its way from somewhere in the darkness and came to halt before them. "Mind your limbs, keep 'em all inside. No exceptions." She said with a pointed look to the young one. She didn't want to lose any appendages now did she?

Sitting up front and waiting for them to climb in, Bijou gave a quick snap of her fingers and off they went. From 0 to 120 in no time at all, the cart whizzed forward. Taking dips that almost reached 90 degrees and pulling out at just the right second, the cart barreled down the tracks beginning the long ride.

She dropped her bag next to her as she watched the Gobin produce the pouch. It was heavy and she hadn't been looking forward to carrying it, it was like he had read her mind! Or just noticed how weak she was...
"That would be great! Thanks!" She quickly picked up her bag and dropped it in the one the goblin was holding. That would be so helpful!
Watching it shrink again she reached and took the pouch. It was so much lighter! She loved magic. "Thanks a lot for your help!" Did she have to tip him now or something?

"You are very welcome." Pointing towards the corridor that lead back up to the main hall, Quizzit stepped forward. "If that's all, then allow me to escort you to the main hall where you can be free to go on about your day." She probably had shopping to do after all.
