"Yes sir, it is. I'm all settled in now, not that I had that much to move in the first place. Also thank you for putting me near the alley, away from the sun." It had the added benefit of being the room closest to the back stairs, placing her between Integra, and any possible intruders.

"Of course, Seras." Integra gave her a small almost smile, before stretching her arms over her head as she leaned back in her chair. She surveyed the office with a pleased look on her face.

"Now I just have to hire the apropriate peoples, and wait for the last of the stock to arrive, and then the shop should be ready to open for business." She brought her arms back down, resting her elbows on the desk and interlocking her fingers together in front of her mouth in a position Seras should be well acquainted with. "And then we can begin the unfortunately necessary task of earning money for the Hellsing organization." This last was said with the apropriate amount of disgust in her voice; a British Lady should not be involved in something as bourgeois as commerce. However, Integra was bowing to the necessity of her new situation. Still, her expression quickly shifted to content again; having to use Seras' living room as her office had been almost intolerable. Now that she had a proper one once more, she was as happy as a cat in the cream

"I'm sorry the department doesn't pay me that much, sir. I'm sure you'll find some employees soon. There still aren't a lot of places hiring imports so someone will inquire about working here." Whoever it ended up being hopefully they'd have nerves strong enough to deal with having Integra as a boss. "How much are going to have to make to support the organization, sir?"

Seras could only give so much of her own salary. While not requiring groceries certainly helped, she still wanted a little bit left over for herself.

"Also I like your office, sir. It suits you." It really did. Having Integra behind the desk like that again made her feel that things were just a little bit more right with the world than they had been.

Yusuke'd heard about Seras new place, and figured he'd stop by and say hello. He walked into the shop, looking around speculatively, touching all the items on the shelves before calling out, "Hello? Anybody home?"

[newbvampire]

Seras heard what sounded like someone downstairs in the shop. Wasn't the front door locked? Maybe one of the movers had left it open? Sighing, she made her way downstairs ready to shoo away whatever poor confused possible customer had wandered in. She was pleasantly surprised to find it was Yusuke instead. "Hi! I didn't know you'd be coming by today."

"I just thought I'd come see your new place, see if you needed help moving stuff in." He grinned, tapping his fingers along the shelves. "It's a nice shop."

[newbvampire]

"Thank you for the offer, but we're all moved in now. There wasn't that much for us to move anyway. Sir Integra had a decorator put in all new furniture." Truthfully, all she had actually moved was her clothes, and her coffin.

"It really is a nice shop, and I'm sure it will do well once it's open. It's still a little weird though to think of Sir Integra ringing up customers, and stocking merchandise." Not that she thought that was very likely to happen. If her commander had her way it would be left to the other employees. Seras just hoped she'd manage avoid being roped into it somehow.

Aaron felt awkward as he stood at the door, a small hand basket hanging at his side with a small loaf of bread, salt, a couple candles and a sampler bag of gourmet chocolates tucked neatly in it. He hadn't been to a housewarming in a while, and he was only doing what he knew as proper etiquette. He had never been particularly skilled at knowing exactly what to get, and so he had fallen back on gifts which had been given to him in the past. Even though Seras couldn't eat any of it, he hoped it at least got the idea across.

Standing tall, he prepared himself for whomever would answer the door. Hopefully it would be Seras, but after the last visit to their MAC apartment, he couldn't be certain. He knocked. Just before the door could open, he remembered his manners, and removed his glasses, tucking them into a pocket.

[newbvampire]

Fortunately for Aaron it actually was Seras that answered the door this time. "Detective Grey, hello. It's good to see you." It was also a bit surprising. After his last encounter with Integra she'd been worried he wouldn't visit again. It was nice to know that wasn't the case. "Um do you want to come in?"

[grey1911]

"If it's alright." He had momentarily entertained the idea of not coming, but it wasn't particularly polite. At her offer her gives a small smile and holds out the tiny gift.

[newbvampire]

Gratefully she accepted the gift. It didn't matter that she couldn't eat any of the items in it. In this case it was truly the thought that counted. Aaron might never know, but it meant a great deal to her. No one had ever done something like this for her before. Stepping out of the doorway, she gestured for him to come inside. "Please do, and thank you very much. You didn't have to do this, but thank you."
