Coombs & Co. [OPEN]

[jiyunnies]

Working multiple jobs is rather difficult, but nothing that Riley isn't used to. Since inheriting Knights of the Round Pie and beginning the renovations to transform the place into a museum, Riley's miraculously also kept up with her job at Coombs & Co. She credits Lily Middleton almost completely for being able to balance the two, since the sharp business woman/socialite has taken a recent interest in managing the museum project (probably due to the fact Lily is currently not speaking to her son and looking for something to work on to pass her days). 

 

And with Valentine's Day around the corner, every February, Coombs & Co. announces some of the biggest discounts of the year on their merchandise. On top of their regular potions and remedies, they offer cute, fun, and safe magical items revolving around love and friendship specially made for the holiday. For the past week, Riley has worked late in the evenings preparing these items and organizing the shelves. She even decorated the shop's front window to draw customers in. Really, she's gone a tad overboard, but Valentine's Day is a fun holiday and there's a bit of a humbug sister at home harshing Riley's mellow.

 

After lunch, she flips the closed sign over to open and unlocks the shop's door before taking a seat at the counter where she has packaging supplies laid out. Today, she's the only one in the shop, but Riley doesn't mind. The quiet means she'll get a lot done today. Placing a bar of "love" soap on a sheet of paper, she begins her task of wrapping the products one-by-one, humming a song to herself as she waits for a customer.

 

ooc: feel free to visit Riley at Coombs & Co or come by to buy some stuff & thangs (4 ur lovah~)

"Then...how..." Riley wrinkles her nose, thinking. "It just doesn't add up. There has to be something at work. Grant really doesn't seem like the type to run off and get married."

She smiles, returning Val's hug. "That's true. We should do something relaxing. Spa at home?"

"I don't know... Like I told Lily, maybe it's some really subtle magic, or something ambient," she sighs. "Its definitely not natural, we know that."

Val grins, popping a spoonful of pasta into her mouth. "Spa at home sounds amazing! We can raid the stores for sale chocolate the day after too."

"Well, between you and Lily Middleton, that new wife doesn't stand a chance. We'll figure it out."

She pats the top of Val's head with a grin. "Perfect. We're gonna look fab and get horrible tummy aches."

Val lets out a low chuckle, shaking her head. "If I get my hands on her, she's going to regret it so much," she frowns.

"Ugh, the best way to spend Valentine's," she grins, flicking a bit of pasta sauce at her sister's nose. "Who needs dates anyway?"
