"This week has been far too long," groaned the shop-keep.

"Oh, is it a leap-week?" asked his strange new assistant, blue hued and bright eyed.

"Err... I suppose that's something that happens where you're from?"

The assistant nodded in their cryptic way, "So what has extended this week for you, sir?"

"Too much is happening. Out there."

"At least too much isn't happening in here?"

The shop-keep chuckled softly, "I suppose that's true."
