As Elinor approached the door, she could smell honey. Why did she smell honey? It was fantastic... She opened the door and stepped inside. The shop appeared empty, but it was filled with the most... intoxicating array of scents. She smelled honey and... New books, and something sharp...

Mint chocolate-chip ice cream.

Elinor crossed the shop, which was very quiet and empty, following the smell. Of course! The amortentia. The lady gave her head a firm shake. Powerful stuff, alright. She didn't want to call Nigel away from the side of his cauldron, so she stepped around the counter and towards the back room.

"Nigel? I know you've been hard at work, so I thought I'd bring you--"

The woman had one hand in her purse as she stopped mid-sentence. There appeared to have been, uhm... A little spill?

"...something to eat." She finally finished her sentence after a moment of shock, pulling out a wrapped-up sandwich and setting it on the desk, where she also rested her purse.

"Goodness, what happened?", she asked, finally looking to Nigel, who seemed to be greatly enjoying his tea.

Nigel looked up as the oh so familiar voice of one Elinor danvers broke the silence in the quiet shop and back room. His smile brightening at the sight of the woman, the man lowering the mug back down to his desk before pushing back his chair. "Ah...my dearest Elinor," the apothecary remarked getting to his feet. "So good to see you again." About to step closer, he noticed where her attention lay and followed her gaze with his own.

"Oh that....that's nothing." he said waving it all off. There was only light touches here and there of the remnants of what had happened." Just a teeeeny accident but I fixed it." Nigel's normally light skin was beginning to take on and even paler hue. And ever so slight hint as to what was going on, the more physical effect of the potion.

"But no matter. You remembered me and brought me a gift of food. How good of you to do so." At this the man did move, his arms wrapping up around the lab head in a hug so unlike him.
