Magic Box, Thursday, 8/2

[life_inshadow]

Tara was cheerful and relaxed at the shop today, and she kept cuddling the spellbooks that were back on the shelves where they belonged. She steeped a pot of spiced tea and put Eliza Carthy softly on the store stereo. She had even brought Moxy to the store, where he promptly took a nap in the window.

It felt very much like home.

[OOC: Open shop.]

Shira was still in a thinky kind of mood, so instead of going back to her room she found herself wandering in town.

And wandering right into the Magic Box. It made sense, really. Magic was comforting to her.

She gave Tara a smile and a little wave. "Hey."

[life_inshadow]

"Hi," Tara said, with a little smile for Shira. "How are you doing today? Do you want some tea?"

[snarkyhealer]

"I'm... kinda thinky," Shira said with a shrug. "But tea would be wonderful, thank you."

"Give me a second and I'll get a cup," Tara told her, then added -- over her shoulder as she prepared the tea -- "So ... thinky about what?"

Ben promised Ender he'd look for a witch, so he started in the most logical place he could think of: Tara at the Magic Box it always said box.

"Hey," he said. "Would you like a milkshake?"

He was incapable of coming into a store without bringing food.

[life_inshadow]

"Anytime," Tara said, leaning over the counter to get a look. "What kind of milkshake is it?"

She wasn't sure why Ben was bringing her food, but hey: Milkshake. She had no complaints.

"Strawberry," Ben said. "That way we can pretend it's healthy."

He grinned a little sheepishly. "Ender gives me grief for my ice cream habit."

"You look like you probably work most of it off," Tara said, and then went a little pink as she reached for a cup. "Um, I swear I didn't mean that in a flirty way. Anyhow -- strawberry works! Sometimes chocolate's a little bit too ... much, you know?"
