Chaucer's Open for Business

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige places a sign outside the shop

Chaucer is not back yet, but Paige is avaiable to discuss any commissions you may have while he's away

She goes back inside and sits in the shop hoping to get a little business for Geoff while he's away.

ETA she's also looking very angry and a little sad after what Angelus said to her in ethics class

((open to anyone, even if you just want to see Paige))

As it's quiet Paige pulls out a notebook and starts trying to write a letter for Geoff

My Darling Geoff

I miss you so much it hurts. I know you’ll be back soon, but not knowing when is really getting to me. I miss waking up next to you, curling up in your arms at night and feeling you close to me. The place seems so empty without you

She crosses out the whole thing and sighs, she just can't get the words quite right.

Beethoven notices the other young woman in the room, and heads over to where she and Sonia are talking.

[A friend of yours?], he asks Sonia in a gruff voice, before turning back to Paige. He offers his hand towards her and bows low.



[OOC: Imagine dialogue in brackets is in high German. :D]

[Ja, so be nice.] She gives Ludvig a smile, then indicates Paige.

"Paige, this is Ludvig von Beethoven. Beethoven, Paige."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige smiles and takes his hand, she raises an eyebrow at Sonia, "is it just me or does he remind you of Geoff? YOu know with the manners and everything?"

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

Beethoven accepts her hand and kisses the top gently, then looks up to Sonia.

[A student? She is qvite young to run a business by herself.]

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige blushes a little, no one but Geoff has ever kissed her hand and this was reminding her of him

Ludwig gives the girl a small smile, bows again, then steps back from their group, walking over to inspect one of the Coat of Arms Chaucer had hanging on the walls.

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

Sonia nods, as she leads him away to show him to the spare table.

[Ja, a student. And it's her boyfriend's business, but he's been called avay recently. As such, please make an effort to be nice, or at least, don't scare the poor girl.]

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

Ludwig takes a seat at the desk and pulls out a few rolls of parchment. They are covered in musical notation and his loose script.

[My dear, I am alvays a perfect gentleman.]

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

Sonia smiles at the display. "Yes, just a bit. It's nice to see chivalry isn't dead."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"Just him and Geoff keeping it alive by the looks of it," she smiles

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

She laughs. "And neither from this century. Pity. Vell, I suppose ve take it vhere we can."

Turning her head from Ludwig, she adds, "Though Geoff has novhere near a temper like him. Hot tea seems to have calmed him down, but he can be a very...grouchy man, if he feels like it."

She turned back to Beethoven, who was again wandering about the room.

[If you'd like, zere's a spare table near the back. It has good light, and there's plenty of ink on hand, if you vant to vurk on your manuscript.]

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige raises an eyebrow, "he trashes the house and I'm orbing him out of here straight away!"

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

Sonia enters the shop, but not alone- a rather surly-looking middle-aged man is close in tow, and curiously looks around Geoff's shop while Sonia goes to talk to Paige.

"Hey, how are you holding up here?"

She turns her head to indicate the man.

"That's...um, that's Ludvig. I hope you don't mind, but I'm...sort of keeping an eye on him for a few days. He doesn't speak English, and can't hear a thing anyvays, but I don't vant to just leave him alone somevhere. Is it alright if he stays here with me for a few hours?"

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige looks at the man, she'd seen him in music, she smiles at Sonia, "Yeah no problem, do you think he'd like a drink? And yeah I'm doing ok generally ethics was a killer, but other than that I'm ok"

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

She smiles and sighs. "Good. I mean, I don't think he'd get into much trouble, but...it's hard to tell in this place, you know? I think he's got a manuscript to vurk on, so he should keep himself busy enough, anyvays. And I'll ask him if he'd like anything."

She set her backpack down at her desk before continuing.

"Ethics? That's vun of the new classes, isn't it? Is it...interesting, at least? Despite it being, er, killer?"

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"It was pretty much about letting the people we love die, so not really fun when you're already depressed."

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

Sonia quirks an eyebrow at that. "No, no, I don't suppose it vould! My, vhat a way to start your first class. Hmm."

She pauses a moment, and gives Paige a gentle smile. "Feeling better, then? I've brought along a bit of tea, vould you like some? Might sooth the nerves a bit."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"Tea would be great, thanks Sonia, I'm feeling a bit better yeah, but, well after ethics class today I just wanted a hug and when there was no one here I felt kinda bad again for a while, but I'm sure he'll be back soon then everything will be ok, I hope!"

Boone goes to meet Paige as they had discussed in Psych class.

Spotting her, he goes over. "Hey."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Having just got back from her talk with Elizabeth (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomtownies/175889.html) Paige sees Boone and stands up smiling. "Thanks for coming, I didn't want us getting into trouble with the psych prof."

She sighs, "can I get you a drink?"

[cerulean--eyes.livejournal.com]

"Just coke will be great," Boone nods. "Thanks. Yeah. That Pysch professor scares me."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige runs upstairs to get the coke and a couple if glasses, she puts vodka in hers.

"Boone, I've had a really crappy day, you-you wouldn't mind if I hugged you would you?"

[cerulean--eyes.livejournal.com]

Boone smiles gently. "I don' think I'd mind that at all, Paige. Is everything okay?"

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige shakes her head, walks over and hugs him, "I've managed to find a class worse than Psych, it was about killing the people we love today."
