The Magic Box [Tuesday]
It was an uncharacteristically cheerful Celia who opened up the shop today, humming off-key as she straightened the magical items she was still figuring out how to even use. She'd brought her books with her, of course, since she was still at work and that was technically magic she was reading about, and maybe she'd actually find answers here, too.
But her mind wasn't on the contract or the challenge or impending doom at all, and she actually managed to break a crystal as she was sweeping and humming to herself today out of carelessness -- which was unusual in and of itself, since she was never distracted, and usually only broke things with magic, not by knocking them over.
It was okay. It only took her about fifteen minutes to put it back together absolutely perfectly, and that was only because her mind wasn't really on it. She'd get back to focusing at some point, probably, but for now she was just going to enjoy the first really good mood she'd had in weeks, thank you.
