She had been completely zoning out. Didn't think anyone on here was going to try to talk to her. Glancing over when she realized the words were being directed her way, Evie shrugged. "Maaaaybe. Can't say too much, super top secret stuff ya know."

"Oh, Viv!" Eros' tail began to wag near immediately as he heard his name. And then his eyes settled on the other and he met her half way. A hand raised in greeting as the other was shoved into his pocket.

"Y'made me somethin'?"

A look of curiosity was quickly replaced with that of excitement and awe. That tail swishing faster as he looked over the little figurine in her hand. It was exactly like his bangboo! He'd take it gently, as if it were fragile- it basically was. And then he'd crouch down to show the mechanical rabbit.

"Yeah! A client has been looking into making a line of Bangboo gacha so I had the basic design already made." And of course they already had twelve million pictures of Lil' Boo on their phone.

"Ugh, it's been dead today..." For once, Belle was the one stuck minding the store by her lonesome. Which was a bane in and of itself for a girl like her, who needed to be up and doing things, but it was made even more boring by the fact that there had only been a handful of customers so far. Luckily, though, she was quick to perk up when she heard the bell of the front door ring with the sound of a new customer (hopefully), immediately shifting into customer service mode.

"Ah, hello!" They waved as they stepped in, Cherry already trotting up to one of the shelves despite that they couldn't see most of it. Viviana paused for a moment, trying to gather the social spoons they needed. It had already been a long day.

Because Viviana knew Roxy’s sense of humor.
