Who: Arthur (onceaking ) and Guinevere (lady_fair ) When: Friday morning, 4/2 Where: Gwen's jewelry shop What: Purchasing a bribe for the girlfriend from the onceexwhatever wife. Awkwardness ensues.
"And once you're finished with the inventory, could I get you to please cycle out some of the heavier pieces for some of the brighter things? I know there are some lovely pieces with more spring colored gemstones that we just received in the other day. There is also a collection of diamonds in an interesting shade of lilac and set in platinum that I'd like to go in the far corner window box." Ticking off her list of things she needed to get done, Guinevere glanced over the display cases once more while mentally weighing what stock she had and how she wanted things to be put out. It wasn't as though things couldn't be run in her absence, but there was the need to keep her hands busy and not allow herself to give into the desire to just throw everything to the wind that might take away from her time with Lancelot. More often than not, he had accompanied her in these days, but she had just swung by to make a few quick phone calls and handle a few things before she planned on heading back home.
There was always work to be done. Artists to harangue, deals to broker, sales to make. She kept a small staff that handled things just fine without her, but it wouldn't do to become lazy and slovenly now after she had built up a decent name for herself within the proper circles. It amused her to keep busy, and it certainly served her well enough to help pass the years rather than floundering about aimlessly.
Clucking her tongue and flipping through some paperwork she had sprawled out on the counter top in front of her, Gwen belatedly remembered some bracelets she had stored away, the canary colored diamonds would work perfectly with the rest of the things she had set out to be displayed. Mind a-whirl as she tried to think of anything else she might have forgotten, Gwen left her associate out front as she meandered back into her offices so she could pull the desired pieces out of the safe.
