But still it was a sense of normalcy of which the potions master was grateful for.

Hearing the tinkling of the bell from the door, he looked up from his work but unable to see who it was as his vision was blocked by a display. However he slowly made his way towards the end of the aisle he was in and in the direction of the back of the shop and counter just in case he was needed for any assistance by whoever it was that had opened said door and entered. His cleaning could wait for another time

It wasn't until he heard his name being called by an oh-so-familiar voice that he felt a tug on his lips. Something that only the woman in question could manage out of him. "Already?" he said with a slight look of confusion "It seemed like I was just opening." Though a glance at the clock as he leaned his broom in the corner back behind the counter told him it was indeed true. So many hours had passed since then and he had apparently lost track of time during the earlier influx of student and adult customers alike he had dealt with earlier in the morning.

Nigel saw that she had once again brought him food as well as herself which some would say was befitting a lunchtime visit from the person one was technically seeing. Definitely something more for the privacy of his office. 'Um...why don't you head back to the office then," the shopkeeper instructed, figuring to make sure everything was okay before heading to follow her.

Her eyes flitted over to him as he came out from behind a display. A smile jumped onto her face easily. Even though she was able to see him as frequently as she wished, it was still so nice to look at him. Especially when those little looks of confusion were so cute. She tucked a stubborn lock of hair behind her ear.

"No, not really, but I left work early because I missed you that badly." Today, the statement was a tease. But tomorrow, who knew? Elinor had done her fair share of surprising things since meeting Nigel. She didn't put it past herself to do such a thing, and neither did he, she was sure.

The technician nodded her head, obliging with his request to move into the office. As she moved, she scooped up the container again, only to walk it over to him and hand it over. Elinor took full advantage of the move and stretched up on her toes to kiss him casually on the cheek. "It's veela hair pasta with alfredo sauce and... something else. Lamb, maybe, I've already forgotten," she informed as she lowered herself again and swept past him into the office. They were nothing if not awkward, but she was very proud of how far they had come. As little as a year ago, a casual kiss would have been quite impossible. They had come quite far, indeed.

She perched herself in her usual chair across from the desk and unzipped her purse. She pulled out a green apple and a small stack of envelopes-- Her mail she had picked up on the way. Although she never mentioned it, because she swore not to, every time she entered the office, she remembered the evening that Nigel was... affected by a few drops of amortenia in his tea. She bit her lip as she smiled at the thought.

"How've you been, Nigel?" The customary and polite thing to ask when the only thing you were really interested in saying was 'I miss you every second of the day', but, as an adult, such a thing was almost looked down upon.
