Sanctity: Open

[notavegetarian.livejournal.com]

Not much has changed in the small shop. The herbs continue to hang, the scents continue to mingle, and the cash register continues to rust.

A talented observer might even notice the lack of proprietess.

The sign at the door claims Zhaan is out to lunch, with an indefinite return time. It's probably more reliable to say she's around the back, sitting in her garden, attempting to meditate.

But she keeps failing, the tranquility of the garden only grating on her nerves.

Stubbornly, though, she continues to sit in the sunlight, head upturned, body almost relaxed.

Maia came into the shop, she wanted to find something nice for Aziraphale as a gift. She looks around not seeing a worker. She liked the smell of the shop it was relaxing.

Having given up on her meditations for now, Zhaan returns to the shop. Pleasantly surprised to see a customer, she smiles calmly, "Good morning, was there something I could help you with?"

Maia smiles softly. "Yes I was looking for a present for a friend of mine actually. Something relaxing, he seems a bit not himself lately." Maia takes in blue skin with amazement. She likes this woman's voice it is very soothing.

"I have found khala root especially efficacious in producing a calming effect." Zhaan refrains from mentioning that she used to slip it into the tea she made up for D'Argo to help control his anger. Moving to one of the shelves, she pulls a small flask out, the reddish liquid inside catching the light and gleaming slightly. "A few drops in tea, or placed on a burning candle work wonders."

Maia smiled warmly watching the woman. "Where are you from?" She said not wanting the woman to stop talking. Maia examines the small flask. "There wont be any side effects or anything like that will there?"

"A long way away," Zhaan replies. She doesn't mind the question, understanding that many will be curious about the 'big, blue, bald bitch' as Crichton used to say. "It's hard to say, sometimes, how far away my home is. Delvia was lost to me long ago."

Shaking off the slight melancholy, she smiles again, "No side effects, and there is no chemical dependency created within the body, either."

Maia nodded and caught the word Delvia. She tilted her head. "Delvia?"

"My homeworld." Stepping away to the register, Zhaan taps the keys thoughtfully.

Maia looks at her curiously. "My names Maia." She said watching the blue woman closely and then she sees it. "Your Chiana's friend." It is not a question.

"Yes. I am Zhaan." Moving away, Zhaan headed for the back of the shop. "I apologize for cutting this short, my dear, but I really must see to something."

[sorry. got distracted, then rebooted and never got back to fh.]

Maia nodded slowly, she was not surprised by Zhaan's departure. "Thats ok. Thank you for this. I am sure it will work just fine." Maia watched her walk away and glanced down at the bottle. this is perfect He'll love it.
