Walking out of the back room with his nose in a book, Ripper did not notice the young redhead at first. His store had shelves and glass cases everywhere of various heights holding various magical items or various books. He has not really organized it too well. Ripper enjoyed a little chaos in his workspace, it was calming having three books stacked on top of each other on any given surface with an object on display that had something to do with the books. It was how he organized it. Organized Chaos, and he knew where everything was.
Light had a hard time pouring into the shoppe given the amount of stuff he had to offer, so he had various lamps hanging from hooks. He wanted to give that more natural feel to the store so that witches would feel more comfortable. The dark magic items were in a separate back room 'for their comfort.' Without a single glance up all the lamps around the store lit up, his nose still in his book.
The presence of Willow was not felt until moments later. "Hello?" He set the book down and looked down the aisle where Willow was. His blue eyes looking her over before he pursed his lips and smirked. "Do you read Latin?"
