"Like attracts like, so to speak."

Hard to say from the tone if he means it as a complement.

"The crystal came from a deep, deep well, and was polished by the spring there. It remembers the wet darkness that made it what it is, and can call it forth when properly invoked.

"The necklace is a much more recent vintage, an object made by an amateur warlock in Argentina in the 1950s. It's a simple object, one that associates pleasure and obedience in the wearer's mind. Devastating if worn recklessly, of course, but its previous owner quite adored it.

"The ring's properties run the opposite direction. It's been remade several times, but was made at the behest of one of the Medicis' ancestors. There have been many foolish names for it, but it amplifies the wearer's will, allowing somebody with sufficient strength of mind to exert pressure on others."

Enters and kneels

*seriously doubts the white boy is laughing in bennett’s pic*

I shrug, my light blond hair and bright blue eyes sparkling in the shop.

Store just looked interesting, you know? What can you tell me about this ring and necklace and crystal? They are all so pretty!

It was truly beautiful…lots of green and purple

After it happened I told Big that no matter what else happens, today is a good…*s*

How’d you get so smart anyway? That’s not the first time I’ve wondered that

Hello slave here to be used

Finally, there's a voice: male, baritone, some hint of an accent

What is it you wish for today, miss?

Despite the carefully hand written labels on the items, none of them have prices marked

Hard and naked

see!
~laughs~

just a lucky guess

It did have a red throat…you’re not bragging, you are teaching

no worries, just wanted to apologize
you can undo that now

Hey, I received it, I’m sorry, I feel embarrassed…you don’t have to even think about it anymore

I pick up a crystal to look at it, seeing colors swirl inside.

I find a nice ring and a gorgeous necklace as well.

~LOL~
You are soo bad!

I’ll just tell her, “they won’t arrest the kids”

Further in, the books give way to...oddities. Jewelry. Knick-knacks that are too carefully positioned and labeled to be just what they seem. Little bits of sculpture or crystal or even objects that look like they're meant to be tossed into a witches' cauldron

She’s gonna shit when she sees my upgrades

I tig welded brackets on each front railing to hold extensions…the tubing attaches a lot higher now for about an extra 30 yards of range

i'm guessing what you saw was the ruby throated variety ... i really do know a lot about them
~s~

now i feel like i'm bragging

never mind, not my day

I look around, inspecting the other items as well.

The shop makes me curious, though I can't exactl say why...
