It was mid morning when Delain had finished getting ready to go to the music store to check out their latest stock in bass guitars and amplifiers. She was bouncing around and giggling, as she had been given her allowance early so that she could buy a new bass guitar. Putting on her collar and piercings, she trotted out of the door and was on her way to the store, when she passes Rolir's alchemist shope and smiles "I should go in and say hi" she thinks to herself as she trots over to the door and walks in. "Rolir! Yoohoo? You in here bud?" she calls out.
Rolir had been in the basement, replenishing his stock of potions a bit, and nearly dropped the vial he was levitating when he heard Delain. he set the volatile compound down and stumbled upstairs. "I'm here, I'm here!" he shouted. "oh, Delain! what brings you here?"
She giggles a little "Just thought I would pop in and say hi before going off to the music store, it's been quite a while, so how ya been?" she asks, leaning on the counter and smiling at him widely.
"I'm fine, and that's quite nice of you" he said with a smile. "it has indeed been a while. how about you? my business has flourished, but what about yours?"
"Well, mother and father's business is still going strong, in fact, mother is organizing the mardi gras again this year, you gonna be there?" she asks, her tail swishing slightly.
"hm? oh, of course!" he said, idly examining his shelves to make sure everything was in place. "wouldn't miss it for the world!" he grinned. "so, where are you going?" he sat down at a table and started brewing some tea, offering her a seat
She smiles and sits down "Oh just going to go to the music store to get a new bass guitar, mama organized for me to perform with some of the bands that are performing, it's gonna be great!" she exclaims excitedly, "I heard the HorrorPops and Zombie Ghost Train are going to be there, I hope they play my favorite songs"
Rolir nodded as he poured them two cups of tea. "sounds amazing! can't wait to hear you play." he said, then looked outside. "I guess that explains my lack of customers today"
She nods "Yeah, a lot of ponies are at home or with their krews, getting ready" she says, thanking him for the tea and sipping on it "mm just how I like it, good to see that you haven't forgotten" she chuckles a little and flickers her ears
"you're quite welcome. I pride myself on being able to memorize recipes" he said, sipping his. "perhaps you could stop by again once you're done? I would enjoy some company"
She smiles "Of course, I'd love to." she says, and smiles at him even more "Say um Rolir, you um..wouldn't ya know..happen to have a date for the fesitval, d-do you?" she asks, blushing a little bit
he blinked. "oh.. u-um, no, I don't" he said, confused he blushed slightly. "would you.... like to..."
"well. um.... that's..... that's nice" he said, floundering for words. "so, I, uh, have preparations for tomorrow to attend to for now"
Delain nods and puts the tea cup down "Sure, well I'll be a while, but I'll definitely be back after I've done my shopping" she says, getting up and looking at him "We should talk about the date though, I can't wait" she says as she leans over to kiss him on the cheek before trotting out of the store with a small blush and a giggle.
he sat down. "ok......." he said, despite the fact that she was already gone. after several minutes he stood up and began cleaning the shelves and putting up the potions he had made
Delain sighed softly as she reached the music store and trotted in, meanwhile, her mother Mrs Azara walked into the alchemist store "Rolir, I'm here for the order I made the other day, please tell me it is ready, I can't make my special Cajun Gumbo without it" she says with a soft smile.
"hm? oh yes, one moment." he said, slipping through the shelves and returning with a large box. "here you are!"
Mrs Azara smiles as she takes out her bits purse and gives over the agreed upon price "Here you go, and your tip as usual, say was that my Delain I saw you talking to earlier?"
