If there was one thing Tori did not want to be it was a nuisance. She would hate to bother the shopkeeper and keep them from doing their job. She knew how busy their jobs could be and didn't want to cause trouble. But.... She really wanted to have that coral ink because sending it from her spot in the States would be ridiculously hard.

Her head whipped around when she heard the door jingle and another came into the shop. She wondered what exactly they were looking for. They looked way more comfortable in the shop than she felt she looked.
"Hmm," Ray said, pulling a hand to his chin which he stroked in thought. "Hmm. I do not have any ready made coral ink that would write on black paper. But..." he paused to head back to the counter where he pulled out a few things; white ink, orange and pink, glittery inks, and black parchment, with one of his trusty quills. "Do you want it to have a glittery sheen to it or would you rather a plain coral?" He got out a few glass dipping jars and dabbed a few combinations of the inks into each pot, then mixed it gently with a little metal stirrer.

With his quill, he dipped it in the first one and wrote on the black parchment. The white allowed it to show up, whilst the mixes of oranges and pinks changed it to a bit more of a coral colour. The first one showed up well, but the second needed a bit more white, and then some more of the orange to make it show up nicely. The third one had a shimmer to it. "They all seem to hold up fairly well in this instance. Would you like to have a play with them and see if you want any darker, or lighter?" Perhaps this dear customer didn't know this, but mixing inks was one of Ray's passions.

Today was no different, the reporter stepping into the very familiar shop to look around. Sure she had her favorites, but that didn't keep her from wandering around a little in curiousity. One never knew if she might find something interesting or new.

OOoo...definitely some of that tealish colored ink. For personal use of course.
The bell tinkled again as another customer headed in. He gave his current customer a quick nod, excusing himself, before heading over to her. "Good day Ma'am. Is there something I might be able to help you with today?" he asked.
