Open!

Zacharias was most definitely not hiding. He was just avoiding the middle-aged witches currently having some type of tea party in his mother's garden. If being home meant his family was out to ruin his summer, he'd have to start spending more and more time in random places

Daphne wasn't one for ice cream but the sweet shop didn't have her favorite macaroons in and everything else looked stale. She figured Florean's was good enough to satisfy her sweet craving.

It had been a long, hot day of shopping. The type of day that Daphne craved turning seventeen so that she could pop home quickly to drop these heavy bags off. They were seriously weighing her down.

Just as she made it to the ice cream parlor the bottom of one of her bags ripped clean open. Her new robes and dresses hit the floor while quills and accessories scattered.

It took a moment to completely register. Things like this never happened to her. At first Daphne didn't quite know what to do and just sighed loudly, staring at the gorund.

Zacharias was flipping through an old Witch Weekly - because why not? - when a bit of commotion drew his attention back to the people around him. It took him a minute to place the girl as Daphne because he'd never seen her look so confused; also, he'd probably said three words to her in his life, if that.

He would have laughed if she hadn't looked so confuse by the situation she found herself in.

Shoving up from his seat, he crossed the few feet between them, gathering up a few wayward quills and bobbles he didn't actually know the names of along the way.

"It usually helps if you pick your things up before someone tramples them."

Daphne looked equally confused at the sound of the familiar voice. She looked up to see a face she recognized but couldn't quite place. Of course he was from school but she must have never paid him much attention.

"Yes, you're right. That usually does help," she said, finally bending down to gather her things. Daphne let out a small laugh, realizing how complete mad she must have looked a minute ago.

"Thanks for the help. I'm usually not so scatter brained."

"No worries. It's summer; you're allowed to be a bit spacey," Zacharias shrugged. He scooped up a few more things and stood.

He looked her over and put on his most winning smile. Today was incredibly boring, but maybe he could weasel at least a few minutes' entertainment out of it. She was cute, and that was usually enough.

"Busy afternoon?"
