They just made her face feel bulky. Squinting her eyes she read the label on the item, “Perfect Vision Potion. Repair your eyesight.” Etta beamed with glee when she found what she was looking for. ”Bingo!” She said to herself.

Hmm, should she also consider looking into the heat protectant? After all she had been using a flat iron to straighten her hair lately.

Despite having her sister nearby, the youngling couldn't to herself the social anxiety that was kicking in. The youngling wanted her independence, but she still feared people's cruelty. Rome was not built in a day and everyday Etta made progress.

Taking a few deep breaths, she mentally coached herself to remain calm and assure herself that she was okay.
20 minutes, Drake reminded himself as he pushed his way into Primpernelle's. He had 20 minutes to find the product he'd need to keep his curls nice and healthy during the school year, and then he'd have a whole 20 minutes additional to go to the pet store and look at all of the adorable creatures. Maybeeee he could even cuddle one or two and grab a few treats for their kneazle before it was time to meet back with his mum and sister. Glancing down at the watch at his wrist, he noted the time - once more telling himself 20 minutes - before glancing at all the shelves to find the right one.

..... which since Gilly usually did this part with him too for her own product, he didn't actually know WHICH self it was. It took him a few minutes more he looked hair items. Another check to the wrist told him he'd wasted 5 minutes which meant he needed to go faster with reviewing what each potion was supposed to do. Picking up two, he looked at them both in his hands, before another check to his watch as he took a step backwards and gently bumped into someone else in the shop. "Oh! I'm sorry!"
