"He argued with me for what seemed like hours and I finally got fed up and threw him out and told him to never come back again," said Ricardo, "That was the only time I ever got angry and I'm glad you or the kids weren't around to hear me curse, even though it was all in Spanish."
Ebony huffed, "Most times when you run a business you can only take so many insults until you've had enough. I've had customers like that at the bookstore too."
Artemis chirped at Lynx playfully.

"Me too," Phoenix said. "I thought I heard something like that downstairs. But I'm glad you threw him out. You don't need customers like that around."
Lynx chirped back and nudged the ball back to where she had heard the chirp come from. It was apparent that hear senses were starting to take over her lack of sight.

Kendall had overheard part of that conversation, and frowned. "My mom says the same thing, because she used to do draperies and custom awnings and maybe one customer out of six wasn't there to buy but to bust her chops and bust her chops and bust her chops."

"I hate people like that," said Ebony, "They always make my oil burn and my spikes start twitching."
"And I used to think that the customer was always right," Ricardo said with a sigh.
"Not if they abuse the privilege like that. I think you can put up a new policy saying that you have the right to refuse service to customers who are rude and disrespectful," said Ebony, "It seems to work for my bookstore. And everyone in this town already know me and my reputation anyway."
Artemis kept chirping even as the ball bumped into her nose. She bumped it back to Lynx.

"And make them see you aren't someone to push around," Phoenix said nuzzling the Stealth.
Lynx listened as the ball rolled towards her and stopped it with her nose and nudged it towards where she heard her sister and Iara bumped it back to Artemis.

"Oh, I remember that "lady" who was all steamed up over some books you were carrying." Kendall chortled. "Ranting about how they were against her religion and all that. Well, if they were, who was forcing her to come inside and look?" He paused as he heard other cars coming. "Ondine and Mike are here."

"Ugh, I've had enough of those religious fanatics already," grumbled the Viper. She turned as Kendall mentioned Ondine and Mike, "Are they ready to go?"
"I just need a break from all this," said Ricardo, smiling as he returned the nuzzle, "I've been pretty fried lately."
"How about coming to lunch with us?" suggested Ebony, "You, Nix, and the girls?"
Ricardo lightened his mood a little. "That sounds nice."
Artemis chirped and pounce on the ball again and like clockwork, it bounced right out from under her again.

"You can carry Iara," Phoenix said as she got up, she hated wearing two of the harness since one of them always pinched at a faded scar.
Iara chirped as she crept up to the ball and stopped it and passed it back to Artemis.

"They're all ready." Kendall assisted Ebony with Artemis. "And they have some news as well."

Ricardo nodded, he was always ready to help Phoenix with the girls whenever possible. He stood up and got the harnesses, helping Phoenix into hers and then getting into his. Then he chirped at the twins, calling them over to put them in their baskets. He even collected their jingle ball to play with.
"Great, so do I," said Ebony as she made sure her sling was secure enough as Artemis was slipped into it. She preferred the baby sling better than the harness because she could actually feel her daughter moving around, which let her know what was going on. "I'm ready."
"As are we," said Ricardo.

Ebony glanced back at Ricardo and Phoenix and then followed after Kendall.
Ricardo bowed to Phoenix, "After you, mi seƱora."

Kendall waited at the door until Ebony passed him, then came out behind her.
"Hi, Ebony!" Ondine smiled. "So how's business at the bookstore?"

"Great, except for a few who take the phrase, 'the customer is always right' just a little bit too seriously," replied Ebony, "Now I know how Rico and Nix feels about running a business."

Phoenix settled alongside Ricardo chirping to Iara.
Iara chirpedback happily from where she was in the harness, looking around at her surroundings.
Lynx however was quiet, her mother's antenna on her roof. She still wasn't use to being picked up and carried just yet.
