Gazing (open)

"Okay, I guess that's all right." said Emily. She wasn't going to ask anymore questions, she figured that if she were in Gabriella's shoes she would be very uncomfortable right at the moment. She would change the subject. "Anything you want to do today?" asked Emily.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella pondered this for a moment. Anything she wanted to do. "No, not really," Gabriella replied. She took care of almost everything at night to make free time during the day. "Is there anything you would like to do?" Gabriella asked in turn.

[weaslebee2]

Emily thought a moment, then rolled up the sleeve of her blouse. "I had better start walking if I want to get to work on time," said Emily. "Care to join me?" She stood up and dusted herself off, not feeling like going to work and having to fill a ridiculous quota.

[igloogirl]

That was a reminder that felt like it hit Gabriella right in the head. She checked her small watch, her shift would be starting soon as well. "I'd love to," she replied. "I have to work too. What time's your break?"

[weaslebee2]

"No idea," Emily said, rolling her sleeve down to protect herself from the bitter cold. She couldn't wait until it was spring time again. She hated being cold. Perhaps she would go and live in a warm place, like Fiji. It sounded appealing to Emily, never having to be cold again.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella shrugged, it didn't matter very much anyways. It was nearly 2 o'clock right now and Gabriella's shift didn't end until six. But they had called her in to work from eight until ten that night as well. "What time does your shift end?" Gabriella asked.

[weaslebee2]

Emily began to walk taking long strides as she tried to remember. It was going to be a late night for her. "Until closing, maybe later. It depends on how quickly I fill my ridiculous quotas." said Emily. That was the downside to being a candy-maker, your schedule was always inconsistent.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella nodded slowly. She probably wouldn't like being a candy-maker, but then again she would probably be able to fill her quotas twice as fast. However, she still didn't know what time Honeyduke's closed. "What time does Honeyduke's close?" Gabriella asked, walking faster now, but making it seem effortless.

[weaslebee2]

Emily lengthened her stride to keep up with her sister, who had become ridiculously fast after becoming a vampire. Lucky duck. "Closing time is eight on weeknights, ten thirty on weekends. I don't know why they even bother staying open that late, our only business is on Hogsmeade weekends." said Emily.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella nodded, that made since. Actually, Zonko's closed at about the same times, so she and Emily would probably get out at the same time. "Well, if I run into you after work, we could go somewhere or something," Gabriella suggested.

[weaslebee2]

"True, those poor people at the Three Broomsticks get stuck there until elven if they're working until closing time." said Emily, lengthening her stride again, Gabriella was so darn fast. Emily didn't really care too much, it was motivation to get to work on time.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella smiled, her eyes scanning the fast approaching Hogsmeade. They had gotten there quite quickly this time. "Yes, I feel bad for Angel, she works there," Gabriella replied with a tiny frown. Angel had so many things to do, it was amazing she got everything done.

[weaslebee2]

"Yeah, but it pays better than burning your fingers on scorching hot gumdrop mix." said Emily. They were approaching Honeydukes. She was dreading that little yellow sticky note that would tell her the ridiculous amount of gumdrops or whatever she was supposed to be making was. "How about you meet me once you're off shift?" Emily suggested.

[igloogirl]

"True, very true," Gabriella replied, wincing a bit at Emily's description of her work. She felt a bit sorry for her sister. Working on Zonko's wasn't too bad, she just had to put up with the oblivious customers. "Alright, I'll see you after my first shift then," Gabriella replied, leaving Emily at the Honeyduke's door as she headed toward Zonko's.

[weaslebee2]

Emily walked straight to the back of the shop after hanging up her cloak and putting on her apron. She looked at the quotas of the day, relieved that she didn't have to make gumdrops today, but then groaned. Candy canes. Emily, sighed, then set to work, knowing that she would burn herself multiple times today.
