“You know, I could do my job as a salesman and tell you that you look gorgeous, but I’m going to be honest instead: that shirt is absolutely unflattering on you, and I don’t recommend that you buy it.”

“Aaron, no offence, but the last time you made me try on something ‘flattering for my physique’, I looked like a choir boy. I know I practically live in a church, but that doesn’t mean I want to look like I do. I’d rather look like a potato sack than an eight year old who plays golf.”

“Oh, I don’t know either - I had a huge delivery once for a big wedding, and I needed to keep them somewhere, so I had to keep some of the pots in the bathtub - a bit inconvenient, but you do what you have to,” she grinned, “hmm, for you I think some of these pink ones,” she picked up a bunch of pink tulips, showing them to him, “what do you think?”

“Now that’s dedication.” he chuckled softly. “I don’t mean to sound rude, but why did you get into flowers? Like, not a lot of people think flowers are overtly interesting, so what drew you to them?” He nodded lightly, agreeing with her choice. “I think pink is a go. I reckon my mum’ll really appreciate these. Thanks again.” He took his wallet out of his back pocket, “How much is it to get them wrapped up in a nice bouquet? I want to make her feel special.”

They’re 7. One is only a few months older than the other so they’re a nightmare, honestly. Not quite teenagers yet.. they just insist on playdates… constantly.

I see. They probably plan it in advance. They must have a little tea party together with all their stuffed toys and pre-meditate how they’re going to make your life hell today. Oh well, at least they’re not throwing raging parties and trashing your furniture just yet - that’s always a plus. Although, it sucks that you’ve got that to look forward to in about 10 years time. Anyways, let me get you a drink on the house. Well, it’s not really on the house ‘cause I’ll be paying for it, but still. It sounds like it’s been a tough day and I think you’ve earned it. What can I get you?

“Do you have a vase at home? Because if not, we’ve got some in the corner over there,” Flick smiled, “believe me, I’ve had to find some innovative ways of keeping flowers alive when I run out of vases. What colours were you thinking?”

[itselijahd-blog]

“I’m sure my mum has one. She seems like the kind of woman to have more than one vase, actually.” he stated as a cheerful smile swept across his features. “Run out of vases? How does one run out of vases? You must really dig flowers, huh.” He looked down at the flowers, scanning over the different colours they came in. “What do you suggest? I’m not particularly good at matching colours as you can probably tell.” he joked, gesturing towards his outfit.

8 Headcannons 

He drives with both hands at the top of the steering wheel

He prefers strawberry milk over chocolate milk

His hair doesn’t go frizzy in the rain, instead it just sticks to his face

Sometimes, as a kid, he would secretly eat dog biscuits because he thought they tasted nice

He is left handed

He knows how to play the drums, and can play the ukelele very badly

In winter, his lips get so chapped and cracked that they often bleed slightly

He rarely wears matching socks

I feel like my house is only ever full of people. The girls decide to invite their friends round whenever, and if not them it’s one of Clancys sisters, it’s a mad house. I just needed some time away. 

[itselijahd-blog]

Oh gosh, I don’t blame you, really. I don’t know how you do it, I could never handle having kids. How old are your daughters now? Probably in their teenage years, I assume, since they fill the house with people. Sounds like the good ol’ teenage years to me.

“The tulips look lovely at the moment - can I tempt you to a bunch?” Flick asked, gesturing to the bucket filled with bright blooms.

Elijah paused for a moment, the cogs turning in his mind. “Sure, why not.” he said finally, “They do look great, I can’t deny that. Although, I don’t know what I’m going to do with them. Gosh, I need to stop buying things on impulse.”
