Petros Macgroglou

Petros Macgroglou is the Tortle shopkeep of the bookshop in Artemis Cove. Most notably he has a familial relationship with Oto, who thinks of Petros as a paternal figure. Petros is an extremely old Tortle and moves very slowly (which is part of his charm) insisting on getting all the books from his shop himself instead of getting his customers to get them for him. Petros also has a grandson (also named Petros) who he sees very rarely due to Petros Jr's job as a soldier in the palace, protecting the council member Trechon.
== Description ==
=== Appearance ===
Petros is a very old Tortle man, even for Tortle standards, as such the little hair on him his white. He wears simple clothing, showing no signs of arrogance or wealth, and walks with a small wooden cane. His shell is simple and clean, with a smooth surface and a shine demonstrating that he takes care of it and himself. His eyes are kind and stands with an open stance, giving him an atmosphere of being extremely warm and welcoming.
== The Bookshop ==
=== Interior ===
The inside of Petros' bookshop is somewhat messy, contrasting the very organised nature of Petros' appearance. Shelves line the walls, with mismatched books in an organisation system that only Petros and few others seems to know, requiring him to move and collect the books for each customer. Each shelf is connected with a ladder on wheels that he uses to collect each book from the highest points of the shop.
He has also placed various rugs and carpets on the floor to create a soft and cosy environment, as well a single plush chair pushed into a corner of the very cramped shop. Everything about the shop seems to have been designed for the comfort of his customer's as opposed to himself, as behind the counter is a small and uncomfortable looking stool with a small thin pillow on top of it, where Petros will sit while it is not busy.
The counter itself is very well organised, remaining mostly empty apart from the register for the money and a small pile of correspondences and receipts that he has neatly filed and organised on the desk. In addition to this there is a small door at the back of the shop that leads into Petros' actual house, which is decorated to be equally as cosy, but is however much simpler than the decoration for the store, as he prefers to spend money on others or send it to his Grandson instead of spending it on himself.
At night the shop is lit by a single candle that Petros stores in the counter and places on top of it each night. The night is gentle and flickers through the small windows, making the place a comforting haven to escape from the busy street-life.
