When you wanted a job done right, one needed the right tools. Recently commissioned, through a rather dodgy transaction, Maite knew what she needed and just where to get it. She'd passed over it a couple of times upon coming to this shop, but the items were never exactly "affordable" in pricing. She had to ask for double her usual rate just to acquire it. The hand mirror was still sitting in it's case. The owners of the store had no idea what they held in their possession, but she did. She'd been circling it since it had arrived a few months back. She'd even wondered if another witch would pick it up, but they did not. It'd taken her the better half of a day to enchant the box she'd be carrying it home in. That had taken quite a bit of creative digging and some ingredients provided by questionable sources. If anyone asked, the things were simply gifted to her. A favor given was a favor received after all. Her mother had warned her about such things, but when you learned to weave a contract, these things were a lot easier to collect on. She'd closed her shop up early, as the store she wanted to visit had ridiculous hours. Who closed before dinner? People who had eaten would want to walk it off and explore your wares, possibly buy more thing, but this shop was as particular as it was peculiar. There was a plethora of things in here she would have loved to have at her disposal and often wanted to ask the owners if they knew what they were buying. They had to have known or at least their source had to. Either way, she was there and willing to pay in cash. The box was tucked in the over-sized tote as she turned to wave down one of the workers. |
