Wait--wait, Elinor, STOP. Do NOT get carried away.

Something was very wierd here. VERY. Wierd. And not the cute wierd that Nigel was the definition of. This was wierd wierd. "I... love to say your name," she said a little absently, taking another glance around the office. She was curious about the tiny bits of potion that had not been cleaned. She was curious about Nigel's uncensored comments about her. She was curious about his pale face... Did he look a little clammy? She pressed a hand gently to the side of his handsome face.

"You are acting ...bizzare. And you seem a little cold... Are you feeling alright?" Her eyebrows raised in concern. She would be lying if she said she didn't like the way he was acting... It was just, as she said, bizzare.

She stared at him a moment or two before letting her hand drop. She reached for the teacup and started to hand it to him. "Why don't you sit and have some..."

Gosh, how much honey did Nigel need in his tea? The smell intensified as she held the cup at her chest. She took a moment to raise it to her nose. This must've been a most peculiar kind of tea. It smelled like honey and...

Mint chocolate-chip ice cream.

OH. DEAR. LORD.

The woman froze, her eyes widening, still holding the teacup.
Nigel was downright giddy.

He was happy, Elinor seemed happy and all seemed right in the world. Wouldn't Sebastian be jealous of his lovely lady? No wait....must not let my brother near her. Yeah, that would be better.

"Me....Acting bizzare...cold?" he questioned, seeming even more confused. "Nope, I'm fine," Nigel answered, brightening up at the touch of her hand on his face. His hand moving slowly up to cover her own. "Okay more then fine." Oh how he loved her touch. It was just one of the many things he loved about her...his dearest Elinor. The man unable to help the frown as she finally moved her hand away, his face feeling vacant with the loss of it

"Alright...I'll sit," he agreed, taking the seat that he had earlier vacated when Elinor had arrived in the shop. "But ...only if you sit with me," the shopkeeper added, pulling her arm and leading her towards him and his lap and chuckling, not paying any attention at all to the woman's focus on his tea cup.

The cup that still held remnants of the ruined love potion.
