Slurps and Burps

[bubblewaffles]

Madeline was inspecting everything, searching for something to help her torture people she didn't like. "Hmmm...." She looked around a little more, kind of stumbling when she turned around.

[Zoë]

Roblin leaped in-between the shelves across from her. He started running through, muttering under his breath.

[bubblewaffles]

Madeline bumped into Roblin. She screamed, dropping her bag.

[Zoë]

Roblin spun around, flicking his ginger bangs out of his eyes. "Sorry!" He yelped, and dove down to pick up all the vials which were rolling under shelves. He paused as he held one. "Imp breath? What's this for?"

[bubblewaffles]

Madeline snatched it back. "You want to find out, ginger." She said, raising and eyebrow. She quickly gathered the items in her bag, but accidentally left an English Harry Potter book on the floor.

[Zoë]

Roblin hesitated, backing away. "It's just... I've had a ton of pet imps before. And I'm kinda into alchemy, so I've tried harvesting Imp breath. I'm guessing you want that for a sleeping draught... but imp eyelashes work loads better." He picked up the book. "You dropped this." He stammered.

[bubblewaffles]

Madeline's eyes widened and she gasped. She quickly snatched it back from Roblin. "Thanks for the advice." She said.

[Zoë]

"No problem I guess." He stood up and craned his neck to see the rest of her purchases. "Do you make elixers too? Or is it just a school thing..." He trailed off, remembering her other outburst. What if she thinks I'm prying?

[bubblewaffles]

I like to torture people who get in my way Madeline's thought. Her face turned stone cold, and her eyes seemed to sparkle.

[Zoë]

Roblin glanced away. "I'll just go... my aunt's waiting..." He held out his home crystal.

[bubblewaffles]

"Wait." Madeline said, gripping Roblin's arm. "Did you see anything on the book." She asked, looking worried and vulnerable, which she hated looking like, but didn't really like to expose that she was a Polyglot.

[Zoë]

"N-no. Just figured it was a textbook..." he cocked his head. "It is a textbook, right?" He was getting uncomfortable.

[bubblewaffles]

Madeline's grip on Roblin's arm softened and she looked away. She placed her bag on her back, avoiding Roblin's glance. "No." She whispered. "It's more than just a textbook." Her voice became barely a whisper.

[Zoë]

"Erm... okay." He had to get going, but he didn't want to rip his arm away. "So... you need anything else? For your... whatever it is your brewing?"

[bubblewaffles]

Madeline nodded. "I need all of the things needed to make something."

[Zoë]

Roblin flicked his bangs. "Okay... um." He was painfully aware of her hand still on his arm. "You need any help? I don't think Slurps and Burps sells imp eyelashes."

[bubblewaffles]

"Do you have any." Madeline asked, eyes bearing into Roblin's. Whatever it was, she seemed desperate.

[Zoë]

((You need more ? lah. ))

Roblin stopped himself from backing away. "Sure. I have some at my lab. Their super hard to get..." He trailed off. "I don't suppose you want some?"

[bubblewaffles]

"Maybe..." Madeline said, smiling. She smirked.

[Zoë]

Roblin rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Well, I'm supposed to meet aunt now anyway..." He sighed and raised his home crystal, creating a beam of light.

[bubblewaffles]

"Can I come?" Madeline pleaded.

[Zoë]

Roblin looked back at Madeline. "Why not?" He grabbed her hand and pulled her through the beam of light.
