Running an Interference

[Brenna MacKenzie]

Brenna walked into the jewelry shop after reading a letter from her brother. She decided all he needed was a little help. He didn't know how to do these things. Flowers and chocolate would've been nice a while ago, but the situation required something more, like jewelry. Almost the moment she walked in, Brenna spotted a case of necklaces. She hurried over to it and searched the case.

[Emilian Sota]

Emilian walked over behind the case, "Can I help you?" he asked, the girl seemed rather flustered. He faintly wondered if the old owner had gotten as much business. While she was still looking away from him, he let his eyes wander over her. He rather liked her messy hair. The corner of his mouth turned up in a smile, he liked how it brushed her neck.

[Brenna MacKenzie]

Brenna turned around sharply, perhaps too sharply seeing as she bumped into the case. Red crept up her face in response to her clumsiness. "Er..I was just looking for a necklace." She said, stating the obvious. Her words were almost unrecognizable from her heavy French accent.

[Emilian Sota]

Emilian grinned at her, pulling his eyes up to hers. Her accent made his blood rush, bringing back memories of a certain other French girl he had had the pleasure of meeting a couple years prior. "What are you looking for?" he asked, looking over her face, focusing on the blush and how her hair fell.

[Brenna MacKenzie]

"Something in white gold." Brenna said thinking about th necklace she needed. "With a heart. And garnet." Brenna narrowed her eyes deep in thought and tilted her head to the side slightly. "I would like the chain to be thin and a diamond cut rope chain." Her face began to return to its natural color. "I would like it to be three hearts, not one. All of the open. The first one would be the bigger one and in yellow gold. The second would be slightly smaller and in white gold and the last one should be the smallest in yellow gold." Brenna decided. "That is all, I think." She said going over her list to make sure she didn't leave anything out. Cost was not an issue, especially since she knew her brother's account number.

[Emilian Sota]

Emilian raised an eyebrow. She knew what she wanted, very specifically what she wanted. "Over here's the white gold," he said, pointing to a section of the display. "Do you see anything like what you want?" If she didn't, he could always order it, it wouldn't be a big deal, she would just have to wait a few days.

[Brenna MacKenzie]

Brenna searched the display. Her eyes fell onto a necklace with a white-gold rope chain. It had an open heart that was also white-gold outlined in onyx with a small heart hanging from it. The smaller heart was a garnet. "This one will do." She said pointing to the necklace. It was perfect, but it served its purpose.

[Emilian Sota]

Emilian smiled and tapped the glass, opening the display to pull it out and hand it to her to make sure. "I can give you a box for it, it is quite nice, one of the nicer ones I have." He looked at it, watching how it glittered. "It's 600," he said, his highest sell yet, but then again, none of the rest had been so exquisite.

[Brenna MacKenzie]

Brenna nodded. "A box would be nice." She said smiling graciously. She needed something to carry it to her dorm, but she'd have to change the boxes. Otherwise, they would know the gift wasn't directly from her brother and Brenna's whole plane would collapse. "I am not so sure about the length of the chain." She said looking at the necklace. "Is there anything slightly smaller? Nine inches, per'aps?" She asked staring at the seemingly 12" chain.

[Emilian Sota]

"I don't have that exact kind in a shorter size, but I suppose I could switch out the chain with something else," he said, gesturing to the single chains. Emilian reached under and pulled out a box, ready for the piece. He leaned on the glass, watching her, he couldn't help it. Old habits die hard, and his were no different.

[Brenna MacKenzie]

Brenna's smile grew brighter as she layed her eyes on a diamond cut Figaro chain. "It's beautiful." She whispered not taking her eyes off of the chain. Her eyes were wide in awe. It was far more exquisite than the rope chain that went with the necklace she chose.

[Emilian Sota]

Emilian took the two pieces and switched out the chain. When he saw the combination, he thought that the mix of the two flashy pieces was too much. "Is it too much? I personally like the other chain better." He was offering his opinion, not planning on pushing her, but it was his job to do it. "It's the same price." The difference in length was canceled out by the added glamor of the chain.

[Brenna MacKenzie]

Brenna thought about it. He was right, she was letting herself get carried away. "Yes, you're right." She said thoughtfully. "Not the old one, it is much too long. Maybe this box chain." She said pointing her eyes towad a 9" box chain. It was simple, but not too plain as it too was diamond cut.

[Emilian Sota]

Emilian sighed to himself and changed out again, holding it up to show her the new necklace. "That'll take a little off the price, 570," still his highest sell, most hadn't wanted something like that. He hoped that it was good enough. To be honest, she wasn't his most interesting customer, much too involved with her purchase to make for a good time. He could have made it be a good time if he had been willing to put forth the effort, but it wasn't worth it, not when he had others that would easily spar with him.

[Brenna MacKenzie]

Brenna felt guilty for keeping on making him change it and her cheeks turned pinkish. "Thank you for your help." She said looking up. When he he told her the price she shook her head. "I can pay the difference." She said even though it wasn't much. Most places she would have gone would have had her pay the original price.
