She has a temper, you see..."
It was then that the Ravenclaw appeared as if out of nowhere. "OH! Vee! Um..." Crap he'd know he was there looking to get the locket back. "HI! I'm just checking out my favourite bookshop and chatting with a friend here."
He turned to Amarantha and explained, "This is Vickers. He could probably vouch for Elwood being a bit on the hot-headed side, but unfortunately he is madly in love with her and smittenly biased."
"...Oh, could I have two sugars with that tea?"
The Ravenclaw's brows shoots up his forehead on the Hufflepuff's words of
favorite bookshop. But he says nothing and nods his head slowly as he shifts his attention back to the bookseller. After all, he does wish Elijah would pay more attention to his books rather than his looks. If this was the way to set him down that path certainly Vickers didnt want to do or say anything to discourage it...
... but then the Curly!Puff just
had to yak about his crushin' again. In front of a total stranger!
A pained smiled spreads on his face as he looks at the shopkeep.
"He's... kidding. Yeah. Elijah here is the school jokester. Best of the lot. 'Can never tell if he really means what he says or he's just setting up the next punchline arentcha buddy?" he chuckled as he clapped his hand on Elijah's shoulder good-naturedly... although he may have made an attempt if that Vulcan neck pinch can work from this angle.
But yes he did go there with a purpose, and certainly it wasnt to flirt
"You have a lovely shop." he said to the shopkeeper
"Do you come across many early edition copies?"
