Once Upon A Time...
[Who: Griffin Riddell @griffinsmiles] [When: Before The Curse Breaks] [Where: Their two-bedroom apartment] [Why: Housemates]
It seemed like a practical idea at the time to have a housemate. After all, Elphyrio has an unrealistic schedule. Having someone to share a house meant there would be someone taking the mail or going to the shops when the doctor couldn't. And in exchange, he was more than happy to pay a little more on his share.
But he didn't quite expect to be living with someone like...Well, Griffin Riddell.
"So...You run an occult shop," Elphyrio said as he sat on the couch, the television playing a movie in the background, something his housemate picked. But his primary focus was on the newspaper crossword. He clicked his pen twice, finally added 'elusive' to number seven across. "What does that even mean? Like you sell...Tarot cards? Trinkets? Or is it like one of those witchy vibe bookshops that is trending somewhere on the internet? And pass me that tub of ice cream, it was meant for sharing." He didn't really know what a witchy vibe bookshop meant, but he had overheard some young nurses talking about it when they were browsing Pinterest.
"How did you even come up with that idea? One day, you just went: Hey, that seems like a good idea in a small town like Pellar? I bet the mayor loved the idea when you pitched the business project."
