It'd be difficult not to notice the effect Jono's had on sales. When he's there, things that Jamie would otherwise have difficulty selling seem to be snapped up. It makes Jamie's father happy - well, as happy as Donald ever tended to get. He never seems to realize who their benefactor is.

Stretching out his foot, Jamie pushed the stool he had pulled out earlier a little closer to Jono, just in case his friend hadn't noticed it before. "Aye, that might work either way. If someone's just browsing but wants to enter then they can pay, or they would get the entry free when they bought something. I'll have to mention it to the others and see what they think."

It's a good idea, and he just hopes the other shopkeepers are willing to go in on it. Jono's offer is also good - although Jamie knows full well that there's more to it than simply being there in case Jono needed help getting back. Jamie's not a good driver at all. There's always been this strange disconnect for him when it comes to operating a lot of machinery. But if Jono doesn't mind that it'll be a rough trip back, Jamie's definitely willing to go.

"Aye, I could do that for ye. I'd not want ye to have try and make it back by yourself in this weather." He takes another sip from his tea, and then makes a small noise. "Mm. That reminds me. We got another shipment of those Godin strings in, if ye need any."
