It wasn't an ideal day for shopping for Lillian. She was still exhausted from her late night exploits with Rolf though the practice had been worth it. She was more comfortable with Nephele now than she'd been before they'd started and had little more of the things she might be able to do. Lillian would have much preferred to take a nap but as usual, Terri couldn't just let her sleep in peace. She had to chatter and gossip with her girlfriends back home and just when Lillian had hoped the girl would go out and do something, anything that involved her being out of the room, she'd turned on her whiny, pop music ( ... )

Even if Lillian was trying her best not to frighten Anthony as he rearranged the makeup, he still jumped visibly just milliseconds after her voice called out -- enough for him to fall backwards onto his rear, and the lipstick to slip from his hand and clatter onto the tiled floor. There was a short pause as he blinked and snatched it back up quickly, making sure there was no damage, before angling his head towards the customer that had disturbed him. He regarded her with a quirked eyebrow. The figure was blue, but ultimately blurry and unfocused. Easily remedied as he fixed the glasses that had made themselves crooked at the bridge of his nose. A second glance, and finally, he recognized her ( ... )

Lillian had winced a little when Anthony jumped and fell on his rump. Maybe she should have tapped him on the shoulder instead. Physical contact with people she didn't know very well seemed invasive on her part, though. No matter, the moment had already passed. No use dwelling on what she should have done instead now.

Anthony's smile helped put her at ease. She quickly found herself smiling back.

"Um, just doing a little shopping," she said, indicating her bag. "I was in the area and remembered you worked here. So I decided to stop in and say hello and maybe pick up a few things."

If Anthony got any hint of her initial unease, he didn't show it. Instead he merely brushed the imaginary dirt from his pants and apron, once so clean and now tarnished from tiles that were sullied from the shoes of other people. It was odd how Anthony could go every other day without showering, but as soon as his body touched the floor, he was picking microscopic debris from his clothes for hours. He didn't freak out about it or anything; just another quirk to add to the quirks ( ... )
