So… the thing was Jeremy was one hundred percent sure he knew the woman before him from somewhere. The issue? Traveling was a thing when it came to his job so the number of persons that he had met in his life was inexhaustible. Had she been on a tour at the Observatory in America at some point? A student at an Astronomy class he had lectured at? Cue a mental sigh. How frustrating it could be when one couldn’t place a face!
Anyway.
The man tried not to stare at the woman during his attempt to recall how he knew her. “Let’s see. Sam, my sister, likes to photograph plants. The wifey, Aurora, likes to keep them in our house. Sam would keep hers outdoors.” There was a pause. “I’m sorry, but I think I know you from somewhere.” Yep. There it was. Jer just blurted that out.
The insect problem was really the insect's on fault. No need for anyone to concern themselves with the situation. Maybe next time the insect will think twice about their disruptive and insufferable behavior.
Valerie was not optimistic, but at least she had her wand to remedy the next situation that would inevitably arise.
If this customer said 'wifey' one more time she may be tempted to accidentally drop the jar as a necessary distraction. Between cleaning up glass and catching the roach, there was plenty to cease this customer interaction and pass it along to one of the other part-timers who actually enjoyed speaking face to face with customers. Before she could ask, again, about the two women's skill levels, this...person...was trying to get a little more personable with her and she would much rather focus on the plants. "That may be so," she replied somewhat gruffly while casting a glance over towards flora best geared towards the indoors. "For indoor options, I suggest Dracaena trifasciata, known colloquially as a snake plant, or Spathiphyllum, which you may know as a peace lily. Both are forgiving in terms of care as well as boosting oxygen levels in your home and purifying the air."
She would revisit the outdoor plant option in a moment - something that apparently needed to have a certain aesthetic for photography reasons. Which made her thoughts wander to Jerry and which plant he would select and it was a train of thought she quickly wished to get off of.
