@DarkGold_1 She stopped near the man, but not to close.
"I came to give someone a chance. I was..harsh."
Her nose wrinkled a bit as she thought of the right words.
"I figured an apology was due, especially since you've expressed kindness to me.
{Starter for @DarkGold_1}
Gem stood upon the step stool, carefully placing bottles upon the top shelf. The place was starting to look good. To feel like home, actually. Scents of old oak, jasmine, and much more filled the air. The atmosphere was warm, inviting--
@JustACarpenter_@APuppetMan She laughed a bit.
"August, you didn't tell me your father was such a charmer."
Blue eyes gave a playful wink to both Marco and her new friend, August.
"In fact, I do. This step stool is likely to be the death of me. I got it years back and it looks like time--
@HerMadJefferson She held up a finger with a thoughtful grin as she scurried across the store, returning with a small necklace.
"Manly enough, yet, you can add a bit to the cotton within and.."
Gem snapped her fingers.
"The scent can soothe you all day. Been dabbling into necklace--
@DarkGold_1 Gem entered through the door, hearing the chime of the bell. Nostrils were hit with the smell of old. Not in a bad way, of course. It was a magical sensation. The smell of history.
"Hello?"
The blonde called out, closing the door behind her as she fully stepped--
@HerMadJefferson She snickered a bit at his face.
A joke, of course.
"Medicinal purposes. Head aches, mood enhancer, allergies. My garden has gotten so full of herbs and ingredients, I haven't any room for any other types, so, I'm creating as much as I can to start a new batch."
@HerMadJefferson "That one, with your hand on it."
She gave a nod, lips curling into a warm smile.
"Well, i'd have them do other things. Sort jars, keep my company, perhaps a piece of eye candy."
The blonde laughed at herself before moving to the cash register.
"That all you--
@HerMadJefferson Gem's cheeks flushed as she nodded, moving from her tippy toes to having both feet flat on the floor.
"If you wouldn't mind. My step stool is under construction right now. I was thinking of hiring someone just to reach the high shelves."
@HerMadJefferson A soft laugh escaped her lips as she nodded, turning on a heal, and making her way to a shelf. Her hand reached up, brushing past the tubes.
"Scent preferance? I have unscented, lavender, and eucalyptus. The lavender salve happens to be my favorite. Ear the scrape--
@HerMadJefferson --hoped up, making her way to the front of the store, boots clicking upon the old wood.
"Hello there, and welcome. What can I do for you today?"
@HerMadJefferson Gem had been reading at her table. Figured she catch up on a few spells books she had acquired, even if she had read them thousands of times. The smell of incense filled the air.
Ears perked up once she heard that bell. It had been a quiet morning.
The blonde--
@APuppetMan@JustACarpenter_ --you. I am glad you guys stopped by. That damned step stool in about to break any second and I have two rows still to fill on each shelf. Can't complain really. Supplies is going fast."
@APuppetMan@JustACarpenter_ The woman peaked out from behind a shelf, giving a warm smile.
"August, how is that wrist of your's doing?"
The blonde approached the two men, dusting off her skirt before holding out a hand to the older gentleman.
"Hello, you must be Marco. It is lovely to meet--
