“Decided on something?” Elodie, that was her name. This was the second time she’d found herself in the shop but Ruby continued to see her in passing every once in a while. Or playing piano at Fitzgerald’s. She wanted to say something just about every time she saw her in the place, but found herself distracted by the contrast of inked hands moving across ivory keys. Embarrassment still kept her at bay, their first real speaking encounter made her worry she was just going to keep fawning over the artwork on her body. Regardless, she greeted the other blonde with a smile from where she sat at the reception desk, her attention immediately snapping to her from Spotify on the computer. @allglasseverything

Looking up from the schedule on the front desk at the sound of the bell ringing, Ruby recognized the woman immediately. Blonde hair, slender build...Weird energy, visible tattoos. The name escaped her but she knew her from Fitzgerald’s, had seen her playing piano. They hadn’t interacted, she’d tipped her a few times (it was polite and the woman was really good) but she was excited to see a familiar face. Especially of someone who already had so much art done. “Hi, can I help you?” She asked with a smile, rising from the computer chair behind the desk. “I hope so because I’ve seen you around and I have totally stared at what ink you already have.” @allglasseverything

Ocktoberfest  was bustling despite the chillier weather. Ruby would be lying if she said she wasn’t really excited to be out and about regardless. Alcohol all around her didn’t bother her so much considering she was on a mission. People were still peddling pumpkins in hopes to get rid of them. Not like the shop  really needed anything else, she’d been planning decorations since last October. But that didn’t mean she wasn’t going to spend ample time deciding on several pumpkins anyways. They had to be big enough to carve and yet small enough for her to be able to fit in the tote she’d brought with her. A charm or two would help with the weight, but she wasn’t quite ready to go full Mary Poppins on one of her bags just yet. Not like she wasn’t confident in her abilities, more like she just knew it would be a slippery slope to taking her entire wardrobe to work with her. “You are gonna give me cinnamon sugar seeds.” She mumbled, holding up a medium sized gourd. “Gonna be a cute Jack’o’lantern and a healthy snack.” @allglasseverything

The Frey was bustling despite the chillier weather. Ruby would be lying if she said she wasn’t really excited to be out and about all bundled up. She’d bought the infinity scarf around her neck when it was still eighty degrees outside, she’d waited for the decline in temperature to finally bust it out. She’d planned her whole day out weeks ago. It was the perfect week to go pick out pumpkins and a few more decorations for the shop.
