No one truly wants to take the time to learn the histories of such items, but it’s my favorite thing to think about.

You do have my interest peaked.

I know you can’t resist a historical treat. I’m the Lady Simmons of antiques.” Shi bent down and opened the glass counter, removing two items she previously unboxed and hadn’t displayed for sale yet. “This is a coin from 1792.” She pushed the gold medallion coin toward him, “Has King Louis XVI on the back. Best condition I’ve seen recently. And this,” The woman set the small idol shaped like a monkey in front of Toby, “Is what my seller dubbed Shiriki Utundu. Legend says it has mystical powers for enchantment.” Shiloh playfully wiggled her fingers mysteriously, grinning, “Or it’s a load of crock, but he is rather quite adorable.”

Only when used in context with Murphy’s Law, ‘everything bad that can happen, will’. And cut down on the amount of clothes she makes for me, and profit? No way. I single handedly fund her botique.

There is not a philosophy I’ve come across that doesn’t describe you better than Murphy’s Law. Who said she’ll need to stop making you clothes? No, in addition to that vest, Lo’s making you all reflective wear in your wardrobe.

You sure do know how to treat a man to a good time, Shiloh.

“I aim to please even the harshest of critics, my friend.” Shiloh removed the keys for her shop and unlocked the door, nudging it forward for Ezra, “The doors are opened. Your new experience awaits.”

You’re just the sweetest, and I’ll make your ass the best peach there is.

Are you trying to make me blush, because it might work. I do love being the center of attention when I’m showered with affection.

Reach the goal of irresistible and it’s a done deal, sweetie.

Making the unphased Grey Finley blush is my greatest passion on life. I’ll simply follow you around like a mindless servant and shower you with compliments.

You don’t have to tell me twice, I’ve seen the weird shit that Toby’s bought from you. Well, I’m not a true masochist– only for my wife. I’m really a wimp in real life.

It’s my duty to offer my most loyal clientele what he steps into the shop for and I’d detest disappointing. Nothing wrong with a low tolerance to pain when it isn’t the sexy kind from your spouse.

[shilohxcrawford]

maddox-rowell​:

Despite the ‘dull’, you have quite the following. See, Grey can hurt me to actually wound me which scares me, my wife hurts me in a sexy way. There’s a difference.

I have been known to gather a rather unusual antiquities collection not common from my fellow shop owners. A true masochist wouldn’t believe they’re different. Pain is pain.

felixxgil​:

My parent’s really missed the opportunity to name me Murphy with my track record of bad luck. I’m sure she would love having to work on another piece of clothing for me.

Is that really what the translation of the name Murphy really means? I wasn’t aware. Lo should weave a type of fabric that isn’t prone to wear and tear into anything she creates for you from now on.

[shilohxcrawford]

tobias-detling​:

Well, not a lot of people are interested in old things like we are. Looking at all the new things you bring in is like getting the prize out of a cereal box– it’s small scale excitement.

To others, antiques are dusty old trinkets not worth spending money on, but they’re priceless treasures meant to be coveted to us. It never fails I feel like Indiana Jones searching for the lost Ark. I do, however, have a few goodies in this shipment you’ll love sinking your teeth into.

[shilohxcrawford]

ezra-fabray​:

I disagree about that statement, but you do have have me curious about that hookah. I do like new things.

I’ll even allow you to take that baby for a test run and if it happens to suit your fancy, I can even make you a great deal you can’t refuse.

[shilohxcrawford]

grey-finley​:

You should believe me because you pay me money to get your ass in shape, although it’s a nice ass already.

And deny you your paycheck by making my ass even more toned than it already is? I have no other hobbies during my off days except seeing your pretty face.

[shilohxcrawford]

felixxgil​:

Any bad thing that happens in this town is most likely going to happen to me, so as long as the frills and glitter are Elliot approved, I’m sure she can work her magic.

You are an unfortunate circumstance of bad luck, it seems you broke a hall of mirrors in another lifetime. We’ll hire Elliot and place it on backorder.

[shilohxcrawford]

ezra-fabray​:

You do realize that by being in close proximity to me that you’re gonna smell, right? 

It beats actually smoking the grass. I actually do have an antique hookah at my shop if you’re looking for a change.

[shilohxcrawford]

grey-finley​:

It’s been more like thirty– I like little white lies.

Little white lies at my own expense. Why should I ever believe a word that comes from you?

[shilohxcrawford]

hollidayxpaquin​:

No and no. Sorry. Just having a crisis, but that’s a me problem.

It doesn’t have to be a me problem alone. I’m here as a listening ear.

[shilohxcrawford]

maddox-rowell​:

Sounds like you need better time management if you can’t even squeeze in something after work. It would be funny to see, but also slightly terrifying. She scares me.

All work and no play makes Shiloh a very dull antiques dealer in an already dull profession by some standards. You think the only person in this town who could scare a lawyer would be his wife.

[shilohxcrawford]

tobias-detling​:

Sorry, but it’s shipment day and I’m excited.

I’ve never seen anyone grow as excited for my shipments quite like you, Toby. Other than me.

[shilohxcrawford]

grey-finley​:

C’mon, Shiloh. It’s been twenty minutes– I haven’t given you a true reason to be complaining.

Twenty minutes and that’s it? No, I’m calling bull on that, it’s at least been an hour.
