Wandering about the shop.

[veloxepistola.livejournal.com]

Inara is doing her thing in the shop - inside the front window display to be precise, struggling with a bookshelf that is meant to be showing off all of the new stock that's been coming in the past couple of weeks.

Her skirts are long enough that nobody passing by is getting a show, but if they stand there for a while they may actually get to spot Inara huffing at the shelving units and swiping her hair out of her face - an uncharacteristic show of frustration for her.

[ooc: could still be played in Hogsmeade weekend if wanted for anyone.]

"And somehow, all these similarities have led you to be incredibly nervous and half an hour early to your teatime."

"Yes, because I know and trust Barbara and having tea with her is different. I'm not explaining myself well, we're just trying something out and nothing will probably come of it."

"You don't actually have to explain yourself to me at all, you realize.

"But I hope it goes well all the same."

"I know, but it helps to say it and I know you won't be gossiping in the Common Room,"

With how small Hogwarts is, this is an important consideration.

Leaning in conspiratorially:

"Do you want me to? I could -- "

[will_scarlett]

He blushes and shakes his head,

"No, I'd rather you didn't."

"Not a problem, Will."

[will_scarlett]

"I should probably go and see if she's around. Thank you."

[veloxepistola.livejournal.com]

"Wait, before you go -- "

Inara stands up and walks over to the counter at the back end of the store, returning with a long, slender box.

"A quill on the house. For the help."

[will_scarlett]

He smiles and bows slightly to her as he slips the quill into his cloak pocket, "Thank you."

[veloxepistola.livejournal.com]

"You are quite welcome."

With a presumptuous kind of smirk, "Have a lovely time with Barbara."

[will_scarlett]

(OOC: Thank you for a lovely thread. We need to do it more often.)

He smiles and heads out the door, "I will."
