[Ronin Apothecary] Hold Up-!

Prompt #2 - A Moment of Freedom

Draw or write about your character holding down Ronin’s shop while he’s away.

~stressed~ "U-uh, sorry, which other one did you want again?"

"I'd like that one, and that one over there- oh, I'll take those too."

"HEY SCAPPY~"

~fumbles with bottles, almost dropping them~ "Lusabeth?!"

 "Oh, riiiight, we're only A Little Bit Friends. Yeah. Let me fix that." ~deep breath~ "Hurry up, slowpoke! What's taking so long? Are you made of molasses or something from all that sugar you drink?"

"NOT HELPING, LUSABETH."

(Sorry Kaytlyn, you picked the wrong day to come and missed the muscled merman abs...)

Scap did not know what he signed up for when he offered to cover one of Ronin's away days. Making potions? Easy. Just like working with the chemicals in lab.

No one had ever told him about customer service.

Between Grin's ever-lengthening shopping list, the pressure of familiar faces in the queue, and a keen awareness of his general clumsiness... Scap was dead-tired by the end of the day. 

(If I had time to do Prompt 3... it might've looked a little like this:)

"How'd it go?"

~flopped over on the most comfortable rock he could find~ "Mmmghh..."

~chuckling~ "New to the industry, huh? Here, I wouldn't put you through that without compensation."

"... what's this? A potion?" ~looking at the bubbly liquid in a glass bottle~

"Hah, not exactly. It's an energy drink."

~reading ingredients~ "High fructose corn syrup. This is... basically liquid sugar."

"I was tipped off by one of your friends that this might be useful."

"Pff Lusabeth- ahem. I mean. Thanks."

Thank you to everyone who threw their characters into the mix - Ando (Lusabeth), SchwarzerAlptraum (Kai), MMNTheMighty (Hal, JB), penguinparty (Kaytlyn), and docgrin (Lust, Grin)! ^v^
