Maire was in Ireland for a long weekend, and while havng her about was in one way tiring, by today, Viktor was bored ( ... )

The sound of the bell made Eloise grin. Someone was there! She waved her hand to stop the spoon from stirring and walked around the counter to greet her first ever customer.

When she saw who it was, she blinked and managed to collect herself before she looked a fool. But fucking hell, it was Viktor Krum, in her shop! She smiled a friendly 'you're just a normal customer and not a famous, attractive Quidditch star at all' smile and said, "Good morning. Welcome to Just Desserts."

"Good morning," Viktor replied with a nod. He'd seen the blink, but then, it was nothing new, and she'd clearly reined it in rather than jump him, so he could live with it. "I am out for running, and this is shop, which I am not see before. It is new?" He smiled. "I am think, if it is shop with chocolate, I am learn about before quickly, and it is more have people in.

He looked around. "You have, you are bring in, chocolate, which is out of Europe? Or you are make yourself?" She looked as though she had a few minutes to talk, and the shop wasn't busy, so conversation seemed reasonable.

"And, I am forget, manner. I am Viktor." He held out his hand. He thought it was clear she already knew that, but for one thing, it was possible he'd misinterpreted the blink, and for another, people didn't always volunteer their own names when they already knew his.

"Yes, it's new. Today's the grand opening, actually, which might explain the lack of people," Eloise said with an easy grin.

She listened to him carefully and shook her head. "Actually, I make all the chocolate myself and many of the sweets. I do export particular sweets that I can't make," she said, motioning towards the display of brand name sweets, "but the chocolate is all mine. Is there anything in particular you're looking for? I have a few trays of samples, if you'd like to try them."

"Oh, how rude of me. Standing here chattering on without even introducing myself," she said, reaching for his hand. "Eloise Midgen. It's nice to meet you, Viktor."

Viktor caught her hand and turned it so he could bow and brush his lips over her knuckles before straightening up. "Is nice, meeting you, El-o-eese. Wait, I am try again, Elo-eese. I am, for long time, have trouble to say name which is have certain kind of sound next to. Elo-ese. Is better, but I am must practice for get right."

He let go of her hand and took a step toward her displays. "I am prefer, chocolate which is much dark and not so sweet, but also, I am have daughter, which is more liking more light." He walked around the nearest table. "Perhaps I am must buy little bit of many thing."

"If it helps, you can call me Lola," she offered. She smiled. "It's what my family and close friends tend to call me after awhile. Not saying we're friends, of course, but either one is good with me ( ... )

shh_viktor March 19 2007, 22:21:15 UTC

"Lola, is short name for Elo-ese?" Viktor shrugged. "I am not have shorter name. One time, it is reporter which is use name which is not mine, but is not pretty name like Lola." He followed her to the counter.

"She is not quite big enough, yet, for have school," Viktor said. "She is at her mother, which is not here, but she is back this evening. Perhaps, I am get chocolate, although often, when she is return, she is have," he paused. "This word is, exciting, with bounce? Very much. Chocolate is possibly not help for that." Then he grinned. "I am see. I get chocolate, and I promise, if she is have not bouncing with bath, then, there is chocolate." He nodded.

He laughed when she said he didn't look like a coconut lover. "No," he said. "I am think, coconut is belong on nothing, ever. But, yes, we are try ten. You choose. Some dark, some not. I am think milk, not this which, I think is not for actual chocolate? Some fruit or nut?"

"Lola is actually from my sister because she couldn't say Eloise when she was a baby, but she called me Lola. It stuck," she explained. "Nicknames can be annoying, I've discovered, and Lola is the only one that I'll acknowledge ( ... )

"We are let you know, yes," Viktor said, opening the silly pouch he used to carry essentials for running, when carrying coins wasn't really feasible. "How much am I pay?"

She named an amount and they traded, coins for tin.

He nodded. "It is new, at me, have small child each day. Much for new thing to remember, so today, new thing is, it is some kind chocolate for help calming. Is good to know, and perhaps if she is have much bounce, I will try." He smiled. "I am thank you for, Elo-ese," he said with a smile, "Is good to know.

He turned toward the door, noting the worsening of the weather, and glanced back. "I am hope, you are have very good first day," he said. "Is nice, to have place for some treat."
