Spells at Coombs & Co.

[jiyunnies]

After a few hours of her morning shift at Coombs & Co, Riley decided it was definitely going to be a slow day. Only two customers had come in and she was about three hours into her shift.

Pulling out her phone, she shot off a quick text to Val;

[text] Busy? Come by the shop and I can do the protection spell. We got all the supplies here.

She hit send, sighed, and looked around the room. What could she work on? She got up from the register and did a quick count on their stock of good fortune potions. Aha, not enough! It was a best seller and they had three vials left. Beaming, Riley slipped into the back of the shop to gather up her supplies. She'd hear the door if anyone came in.

Comments

[jiyunnies]

"I know. I don't know what's going on, but it's starting to get too coincidental." Riley sighs. "She'll be happy to receive them, I'm sure. "

[bewitchinghaze]

"Think someone's trying to stir up shit between the Coombs and Thorntons again? I heard a rumour the first girl killed might have been a Thornton..." she chewed at her lip, frowning. "Be careful for the next while okay, unnie?"

[jiyunnies]

"Really? Oh God...first a Thorton and now a Coombs? This whole curse thing has gotten way out of hand." Riley looks at Val, giving her a soft smile. "Don't worry about me, Soo-Yun. I'll be safe."

[bewitchinghaze]

"I'm gonna worry anyway," she smiled back, hip checking her lightly. "It's what sisters do."

[jiyunnies]

"Well in that case, I'm going to bug you all day with texts to make sure you're fine, and as soon as you don't immediately respond, I'm sending Grant on a rescue mission."

[bewitchinghaze]

"Won't work. I can't even see him and he doesn't like witches anyway." she teased. "I'm going to ask that Bach guy to keep an eye on you. A close eye. Like, sitting at the table with you when you eat out, close."

[jiyunnies]

"Oh but he can still see you, sweet pea. Witch fan or not, they'll be on high alert over all this." Riley smacks Val's arm. "Ya! No you're not! Lara said he's a half-siren who doesn't know what he is. I'm not staying alone with him." She smiles more to herself. "I'll hang out at that bakery."

[bewitchinghaze]

Val stuck her tongue out. "Yeah but I doubt he'll come rescue me personally, you goose. They'll send some low-down rookie cop or something." she shook her head. "You wouldn't be alone! You'd be in a public space, duh."

[jiyunnies]

"I'm still gonna tell him," she grins. "I'm pretty sure he has better things to do than babysit me."

[bewitchinghaze]

"You're awful." she grouched. "Naaah. It's not babysitting. You're not a baby. You're a hottie with a body and he's nooooticed~"

[jiyunnies]

"Um, I gotta be a little bit awful to keep up with you, thanks."


"I'm pretty sure he notices everyone's body, sweetie."

[bewitchinghaze]

"Nah, you're like 50 times more awful than I could ever be. And you're just unwilling to admit someone might like you~" she teased, flipping her hair.

[jiyunnies]

"I'll admit to that. I was born first after all." She laughs again. "I'm not unwilling. I just know when someone just wants in your pants and when someone genuinely wants to know you better."

[bewitchinghaze]

"I'm glad you can admit to it. And hey, maybe you need someone in your pants." she grinned, skipping off ahead so she was out of her reach.

[jiyunnies]

Riley chunks a book at Val immediately but misses. "YOU BETTER KEEP RUNNING, SOO-YUN!"

[bewitchinghaze]

Val giggled and jogged backwards, praying no one was behind her. "CALM DOWN, UNNIE! CALM DOWN!" she called back.

[jiyunnies]

Riley looks shocked and stops. "VAL, DON'T, IT'S YOU-KNOW-WHO!"

[bewitchinghaze]

"WHA-" Val looked over her shoulder and tried to stop at the same time, sending herself flinging into the sidewalk. "Ow. Fuck."

[jiyunnies]

"Seriously?" Riley runs over to her sister. "Yeah, oops. No one was there~"

[bewitchinghaze]

Val grumbled into the sidewalk, reaching out to the nearest plant to snag her sister around the ankle. "You are such a diiiiick."

[jiyunnies]

Riley laughs before she's snapped up by the plant and trips. "Hey!" she yells at it. "You don't have to do everything she tells you to!"

[bewitchinghaze]

Val snickers softly. "They do it because they like me." she laughed. "And because revenge is so very sweet."

[jiyunnies]

"Whaaaaatever. Don't sass your unnie and you won't faceplant in public," she grins.

[bewitchinghaze]

"It's my natural state." she shrugged, grinning back as she got up. "The sass just flows naturally."
