Wonka's Sweet Shoppe - OPEN

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

Tonks sat on the counter, in her usual cross-legged position. The shop was open, and peaceful. Tonks tried to convince herself she wasn't moping. No, she was just sitting on top of a counter... reading a tattered paperback romance... looking morose.... with an open box of slightly irregular liquored chocolates.

Tonks decided that one should never let themselves believe that chocolate could not cure a mope a broken heart a bad mood. At least, after the first three, she didn't give a damn. Anybody want to join a mopey reflective witch? There's liquored chocolate and tea to go around.

Paige walked in on her back to the school after work

"hey Tonks" she said as she walked in "you okay?"

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

Tonks laughed softly, tilting her head back slightly, "I'm pretty sure I've been better. Want one?" She offered, holding out the box.

Paige smiled and took one popping it into her mouth "thanks, so anything you can talk about or just general all round crappiness?" she asks

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"Just a general crappy relationship with a guy." She murmured.

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"Well," she amended, "It's not crappy. It's brilliant, but it's all screwed up."

Paige nods "ah yeah I remember those," she says looking sympathic "but hey on plus side you've been possessed by some crazy evil soul intent on killing said guy right?"

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"No," her mouth quirked, "I've not been."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"well that's good then. Erm do you have any chocolate rabbits? I know it's no where near Easter but it's sort of a running joke I have with James." she asks smiling

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"D'you want 'em spelled for anything?" Tonks offered, "If you can come back tomorrow I'll have one spelled for you."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

She smiles raising an eyebrow, "spelled to do what?" she asks clearly pretty keen on the idea in theory, plus while she loved James lots she also enjoyed messing with him and knew something like this would do that.

"Shoot off harmless little fireworks? Walk in circles?" Tonks suggested.

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige grins, she not totally sure how much James will freak out, but he to get used to the whole magic if they were gonna be together so this seemed like a pretty good place to start.

"If you could make it walk in circles that'd be cool, thanks!"

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"All right." She grinned, "See you tomorrow."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

She smiles "cool thanks a lot Tonks."

Aziraphale walks in, humming under his breath. He looks around at the candy selection, intrigued, and smiles at the young woman.

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Tonks offers, getting politely to her feet.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Good day, my dear. I'm looking for something with peppermint in."

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"Funny," Tonks tipped her head to the side. "I would have guessed butterscotch. Peppermint...hm..." She lead him over to a display, being careful not to trip. "Here, you are, Mister...?"

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Oh, it's not for me, my dear. It's for a friend. You have a good sense for people, though." He tilts his head and looks at her, chuckling. "Mister Phale, my dear. I run the rare books shop."

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"I'm Nymphadora Tonks. How do you do?" Tonks asked, smiling slightly.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Very pleased to meet you." Aziraphale shakes her hand, and examines the selection of candies she's indicated. "Erm. What would you recommend?"

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"Do you like tea?" Tonks asked. She rarely assumed these days - coffee seemed more popular on the island. "We sell tea that has a wonderful peppermint flavor. Or Peppermint Crunch Cookies."

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale smiles brightly at the suggestions. "They both sound lovely, my dear, thank you."
