    Jaxion was counting the day's earnings for the bank after putting away the last person's account when one last customer walked in. He put down his counting, moving his long braid back onto his back with it hitting the middle as always, and making sure to mark where exactly he was before going to the counter to greet the customer. "Hello, Is there something I can do for you?"

   The costumer looked around before looking down and locking his blues eyes with his unprepared for shock ones smiling just as politely as Jaxion before responding. "Yes, of course there is something." He reached into his black leather jacket and pulled out something with a metallic sheen, when it was completely taken out he opened his palm so it laid flat on his hand. It was an extremely rare crystal! The crystal was a few inches in length and almost an inch in diameter, roughly cut into a dimensional diamond-like shape and glowing slightly with the dark silver metallic sheen reflecting its surroundings.

  Jaxion's silver eyes had widened quite widely and his mouth was agape slightly before he closed it and regained his composure. "Would you like me to put this in safe-keeping sir? If you don't have an account or wish for a new one I can make it for you." His voice was slightly excited, he had never seen such a rare crystal! It had to be worth hundreds, no, thousands of water crystals! The costumer kept smiling and nodded his head, placing the crystal on the counter. Jaxion reached his hands out carefully but stopped before touching it, watching the costumer for an answer.

   "I have an account. Jonathan Fluteise." Jaxion nodded before quickly and carefully picking up the crystal in a firm but not to hard grasp, hurrying over to the storage bank and looking for the account. He found it and opened the storage bank for Jonathan, depositing the crystal in and shutting it, securing the account before he went back to the counter.

   "Your crystal is safe in your storage bank now." Jonathan nodded his thanks and left, leaving a slightly shaken Jaxion to finish counting the bank's earnings.
