Pick Your Poison, Wednesday
Sparkle had given serious consideration to just not coming in to work today. Sure, he actually liked his job here and sure, there wasn't a goddamn jury that would convict him for buying some tea last week, in a legal transaction involving putting actual money that he owned into a cash register.
Besides, it looked like Iris did just fine with re-stocking on Friday. He had left some tea in the back, after all.
But he still had a nasty taste in his mouth after his last talk with Seivarden and that fucked-up radio broadcast she'd pulled on the weekend, and while Sparkle was usually one to knuckle down and dig his heels in to escalate while braced for more bullshit, it occurred to him that he didn't want to do anything that might somehow hurt Iris' business.
Even if 'angrily buying all the tea without using the employee discount' was not generally bad for business.
Maybe he was a little bit quick to close up behind him to skip off to the Wednesday school thing this week out of curiosity, though. For the fresh air and not at all because he felt weird about being here right now, honest. He'd be back afterwards. And maybe stay late to make up the time.

Sparkle chewed his inside cheek for a moment. And then sighed.
"Ever have someone in your life you don't really... like... hate? You kind of actually fucking pity? But they're just so repeatedly awful that one day all of a sudden you just can't, anymore?"

"Not really," she said, shaking her head. "I don't tend to put up with shit."
At least, not that kind of shit.

"I don't usually," Sparkle sighed. "First time she came into my shop, I didn't bend over backwards far enough to kiss her ass, she started swearing at me because I didn't offer her a change room to try on gloves, and I wound up banning her until she came back to suck up because she thought Hannibal was my father."
... It was complicated.
