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?" Quote:

"I'm no good with numbers either, but I can offer you a fair price. What did you have in mind?"
"You're not bugging me.... I'm not an insect." Amarantha pushed a cup of tea toward the lad.
Amarantha pushed another cup of tea toward the girl and offered her an encouraging smile. "Tea always makes me feel better, and this is my special blend."
"Oh. Your friend." Amarantha nodded at the entrance of a boy who seemed to know one of her current guests. Just... in case, she poured another cup of tea. So much TEA. She was nearly out of water.
"Hello, dear. We're having tea and discussing old books."
Oh, DEAR. The girl didn't want tea? That was... it was like... it was horrible.
"It's in excellent condition, and it's a first edition. Ten Galleons?" And then the child must be on her way.
"Shouldn't fall in love with a professor. That never works out," Amarantha added conversationally, dropping two sugars into the boy's tea before offering him the cup as well. That was the last one, wasn't it?
She offered a disarming smile before lifting her own cup, although she didn't sip. "I'm sure the professor will pay for damaging my necklace."
"Oh, thank you. I like it... been in the family for years and years." She shrugged. "And yes, of course... look around after you have your tea and see what you can find." Note: Please please feel free to enjoy the tea, but if you DO... it should make your character freeze immediately. It won't last long, so take part. The school jokester? He was? But he hadn't been joking... Elijah had been about to explain to the boy exactly that when he felt the. Big. Pats. On. The. Back. Elijah took the hint and kept his mouth shut. Although, he did let loose a small chuckle when the shopkeeper lady made mention of how crushing on Professors could only cause trouble. Especially if that Professor was Elwood, Elijah was sure!
He accepted the tea gratefully with a small, "Thank you," and had reached the teacup up to his lips when that small nosy Huffer stopped mid-sentence. He turned to face the boy, eyebrow raised only to realise that he wasn't moving. He was completely frozen. "Oi, dude! That is not cool. Those people that froze could've been in real danger and you're taking the mick!"
Elijah had been about to get up and punch the boy for making fun of something that was rather quite serious, when he realised one of the skipper Ravies also had frozen and also had 'enjoyed' some tea. The connection only truly hit when the Gryffie made it clear.
Freezing tea? Wha? WHY?
Elijah dropped his teacup and it shattered on the floor, tea splashing everywhere. He reached into his robe pocket for his wand and pointed it straight at the woman. "What on EARTH are you doing you crazy cow!?" He reached over and shook the 'Puff boy just to make absolutely certain he was frozen.
There could only be ONE explanation for this. The woman was trying to freeze HIM so that she could keep him and his handsomeness locked away for her to look upon whenever she pleased. GUH. Crazy girls were the worst, she simply could've just asked for a picture!
"Where is your wand? Drop it to the floor!" for all Elijah knew, this woman could be some ninja duelist. The Gryffie suggested one of them run and get the Healer, which was a plan but surely the more wands they had on their side the better? "Vee, can you send a patronus to get someone?" he turned to his friend, panicked slightly because he hadn't checked if the 'Claw had taken some of his tea...
