Wonka's Sweet Shoppe - OPEN

Tonks had wordlessly set up shop, and made a pot of cocoa as well as a kettle of tea for customers. She herself sat on the floor, her back against the counter. She was watching an enchanted chocolate cat, no larger than her thumbnail wander across her palm without really seeing it. Occasionally, she would glance at a scrap of parchment, then at her sneakers, as if something written on the slip of paper disturbed her. "I'm not moping," she muttered with a sulky scowl, tugging ineffectually at a bit of mouse-brown hair.

Maia came into the shop. "Hello?" She said not seeing anyone immediatly

Tonks, from her seat in the middle of the floor, waved an arm. "Hullo," she nodded in greeting, as casually as if she'd been found making dandelion chains.

Maia blinks in surprise. "Hi." She says "I was wondering if you had anymore of the raspberry chocolate torts. I didn't see any in the case."

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Tonks hit herself in the forehead, self-depricatingly. "I usually check those when I come in, but I forgot today. I have more in the back... I'm sorry." She sighed softly.

Maia smiled "Its ok. It happens." Maia leaned on the counter. "Can I have it wrapped as well it is for a friend."

"Sure." Tonks fisted her hair as she re-emerged from one of the back rooms with several long, narrow candy boxes in hand. "What color wrapping paper do you want?" She asked as she knelt to arrange a few boxes in the usual case. She kept one tucked under her arm. "I'm sorry I'm so rattled." She mumbled, "I've just been having a rough time." As she got to her feet, the paper scrap tumbled out of the apron pocket she'd shoved it into. It lands face-up on the floor.

The neat cursive is clearly visible: 'Please don't call yourself my Dora, Miss Tonks.'

Maia glanced down at the paper unable to help herself. She smiled understandingly. "Um I think the blue paper would be fine actually." She seemed in deep thought about something. "I'm Maia." She said with a smile.

"Oh, all right!" Tonks smiled, and tore off a length from the roll behind the counter. The paper was navy, with gold stars. Tonks laid the package flat, upside-down on the paper, and tapped it with the tip of her wand. Instantly, the paper wrapped around the box, securing itself without tape. She took a length of tape, and repeated the process, forming an elaborate ivory silk bow. A final charm and the stars shimmered slightly with gentle light. "It's a good friend, I hope." She said, looking at her work with pride.

Maia's mouth fell open in shock. "Your a- a witch."

"Yup," She nodded easily, then grinned, "Annoying personality, flying on a broomstick, putting charms on random object, reassigned Auror, has a magical wand and a cat. The whole thing."

Maia smiled widely. "I don't think your annoying, I am not sure what an Auror is but its nice you have a cat." Maia thought for a moment. "What's your name?" Maia did not want to embarress the girl by letter her know she had seen Dora and Miss Tonks on the letter.

"Nymphadora Tonks," She said, looking at her shoes. "I go by Tonks, usually."

Maia smiled "Maia Rutledge. Its very nice to meet you Tonks." Maia tilts her head "Whats an Auror?"

"Dark Wizard catcher," Tonks hummed for a moment, trying to think of a better explaination, "We work for the government. Uh...kinda like the America Muggle CIA."

"Oh ok. Nice." Maia stands ackwardly for a moment thinking. "Are you ok?" She finally manages to say ready to backtrack the question if needed.

"Not really," Tonks sighed, her shoulders slumping.

Maia sat the package down concerned. "What's the matter?" Maia still did not feel comfortable saying she had seen the parchment which she was sure that was why the girl was upset. "Is there anything I can do?"

Tonks smiled slightly, "Guy problems," she muttered, sitting back where she had been. She drew her knees to her chest, hugging them loosely.

"Oh yeah those." Maia frowned "I can't really do much to help those, I mean I can see sometimes if you will have a guy in the future but thats about as far as I go with it." Maia shrugs.

"D'you think you could do that for me?" Tonks asked, only half-joking. "He's just being so - patronizing, lately. It seems like he's always talking down to me." She hung her head, looking at the floor.

Maia smiles "Perhaps I can. Sometimes it comes to me as soon as I see a person other times its take a while." Maia frowns "Sometimes I don't see anything but that is rare." She frowned "Well that is not very nice of him is it." Maia leans against the counter for a few minutes. She frowns again looking at Tonks. "Is he human?" She says still frowning.

"Depends if you consider being a werewolf human. I do." Tonks bit her lip, "He doesn't."

Maia nods "Well that explains a lot." She said by way of an explanation. She then shakes her head again. "He's a fuzzy little thing my dear I think that maybe be making everything fuzzy." Maia frowns. "He is there and so are you but he flickers in and out." Maia pauses "He is there though."
