@withoutmonsterswebecomethem / casual edge boutique with azazel
emmeline had just come back from her break and was about to open the boutique before she caught a glimpse of the other in close proximity - he'd come back to her. of course, the dramatics of it all were only playing in her mind but in that moment, the woman felt chosen and knew she had to do the best by him. "lovely to see you again." emmeline called out whilst retrieving the key from her small shoulder bag. the boutique owner was aware of the shift happening and whilst she'd thought about contacting a doctor, she had a great mistrust for them and they would certainly use her new findings against her. sleep was disturbed but she was still going and that's what mattered. "don't worry-" gesturing to her hand written 'NO VAMPIRES ALLOWED!' sign, she almost looked smug with herself - ones that she had already invited might have free reign but she'd set up a clear boundary - how effective the boundary would be was to be predetermined. "openness is mistaken for weakness nowadays." it was true that some people had started to give her a look but in this instance, it didn't feel like a delusion, it felt like the truth; her brain wasn't able to differentiate if it came down to it. turning the lock and then the door, emmeline pushed on it gently. "should be safe as possible here."
