Rare Books Shop, Tuesday

Tuesday morning, Aziraphale slips into the shop, checks be certain everything is in order, and puts out the 'Open' sign.

He didn't see much point in opening the school clinic until classes started up again. The on call light was on, pager on his hip, when he headed in to town. Cash nipped at his feet and barked at his cane. Twice he got his leash wrapped around the walking stick despite Hosue's best efforts to prevent it. It would take time, he knew, but he was sure he could train Cash to walk at his left side, away from the cane.

He picked the puppy up when he neared the book shop, because he didn't want to get tangled up in the leash at the door. Once inside, Cash strugged in his grip, forcing House to adjust his position to minimise squirming. Settled once more, he went to the loft looking for Aziraphale.

"Cash," House nods. "He's eight weeks old." The puppy squirms, front paws curling around Aziraphale's wrist.

"He likes to lick, so be careful unless you don't mind getting a shower."

House sits, and puts Cash on the floor. He aps the dog's nose when he tries to jump up on the couch. Easily distrated, the pup tugs at his leash, growling and wrestling with it.

"That mint tea you sometimes have would be wonderful right now," House calls to Aziraphale. "And maybe a bowl of water for Cash?"

Cash lets out a playful bark when Phale returns to the lounge. He lurches forward, nipping at his feet. House distracts him with one of the dog treats, waving it under his nose. Cash sits and lifts his ears, satring at House anxiously.

"He slept on the couch with me last night. I couldn't tell him no. If you're sure, he'll probably settle down and take a nap. Yesterday was...It was good." He nods, then reaches for the cup of tea about the time Cash decides to jump on the couch whether he's invited or not.

With a little yawn, he circles around and drops on the cushion, front paws plopping down on House's thigh.

Blue eyes skim the room. "I'd say, in here. Out there people might notice them, but they're generally out there to look at books. Gasp, shock, horror. I know." House laughs a little. Cash rolled over, and snuggled down all the more against House's leg. "Here? They're more likely to enjoy them."

Maia came in with a bag of gummy bears looking around the store for a moment. "Hi Aziraphale, how are you today?"

Maia smiled "Oh I don't want to be any trouble, but cocoa sounds nice." Maia took her coat off still holding the candy "Is Magdalene around today? I've brought her some gummy bears."

Blue eyes glance at the dog. His hand moves to rub under Cash's chin.

"I haven't spoken to the principal about it." House shrugs. Nor does he intend to. He's never had much use for authority,and the way he sees it, it's his dog and his clinic, so there shouldn't be a problem. He'll just train Cash to stay out of the way keep him in the office.

"I rather think the fish will do good in here." He says after a beat, deflecting the conversation.

"It's been quiet as a mouse since the week before Christmas. Which is nice, and couldn't have been a better time." Because, yeah. They both knew he was in no condition to be dealing with patints the week before or the week after Christmas.

"But I am ready to get back to work. I need t find out if James is...If he's planning to work down there at all. Some of the students seemed to favor him." There might have been a slight catch in his voice when he said Wilson's name,a nd there was a part of him that wondered why he was suddenly calling him James. He'd been Wilson from the day they met. Jmaes had been reserved for special occassions, for effect.

House nods. "That would be good." He glances at the dog again. Sad, that it felt like he might need something of an ice breaker with Wilson. Wilson, the man who had helped him get out of bed when he couldn't go to the bathroom by himself.

"Do you think he'll stop by the shop today?" because honestly? House is surprised he isn't there already.

Maia smiled and sat down. "Well I came to see you, Magdalene is just a perk. She's such a darling little thing." Maia sat the bag of gummy bears aside and sipped her cocoa "She sang a song for me the other day. Such a delight to visit with. So tell me, how is everything? How was your New Year?"


((oh no its ok. if she comes online later I'll ask if Maggie is coming round today. if she doesn't Mai will just leave the gummy bears with Aziraphale if thats ok with you.))

He pauses, and Cash rolls over, giving him a distraction. He rubs Cash's belly then looks up at Phale, a somewhat uncertain look about his face. "Does he think I hate him?"
