The dog listens and appears to understand, and goes with her. There isn't reallyall that much the dog can do, though, with the psychic suppressor on it.

She arrives at the tiny souvenir shop.
The shop owner is a guy. Pretty short. Got a black mustache and a long, pointy beard.

"Ah! Peace and good evening to you, worthy friend," he says. "Please, please come in and look around."
Even though the shop is pretty small, it has a great variety. A bunch of rocks - some more valuable than others, but mixed together with similar-looking ones. Little wooden statues and other things like that. Keychains, too. Tags. Lots of things.
Anchor tells Briar that they're being a "Good dog." as they go in.

She glances around the little shop, but, you know, if you've seen one tiny souvenir shop, you've seen most of them already.
"I'm actually here about the hiring sign. And interesting work, here?"

The protesting man doesn't really seem to notice a shadow on the wall.
After all, it's a shadow and he has other important things to pay attention to. For example, like trying to stop the mermaids from doing their job.

While this goes on, the ghost tries to use his spooky ghost powers.
It's hard.
He manages to make the keys jingle, though.
After a little more work, they move a little. Almost come off the hook they're attached to!
It's okay ghost, there's a first time for everything.
And there's no hurry. Probably.

So the shadow just tries to encourage him. He almost got it there, bringing them off the hook. Just take things slowly and keep at it, and as long as that guy keeps shouting at the mermaids, being so very distracting to them, you'll get away with it!
