new clothes {open}

[nixnight]

Nix looked around the now empty street and decided that she didn't care what people thought of her here and so ducked a hand in to her bag that hung at her side and pulled out a black cloak and tied it around her neck and the sighed in happiness. She loved the feeling of the wind around her and wearing robes or cloaks always made that more fun, plus they made her stand out which she liked just as much. She did get a few odd looks from people but people in London were used to oddly dressed wizards so they all seemed to brush it off. Upon hearing a voice, nix turned and nodded to the girl from the clothes shop as she heard mind give a small mew beside her feet and she smiled ,"not long at all, but my little minx seems to want a greeting to, she's much more social than I am" she said with a chuckle as minx stepped out from under nixs cloak

"Good," said Elliot, she had not wanted to be rude and have Nix waiting on her for what would be an unacceptable amount of time. She liked to be courteous of the time of other people, sine she herself detested when her own time was wasted. Usually in the form of mounds of paperwork or pointless meetings to go over things that they already knew. Of course, now that she had advanced beyond an internship she didn't have much paperwork anymore, typically only things that they were required to fill out on their own. "All right then," said Elliot, stooping down to be on the same level as the cat, offering her hand for the creature to sniff, "hello."

[nixnight]

Nix tipped her head to the other girl as she bent down to greet minx, the wildcat sniffed at her hand before leaning forwards and placing her head in the older girls palm and mewing again. "yes minx, she is nice but she also doesn't want to carry you about" nix said in answer to the mew only to get a tail flick against her leg. "she's the sort of cat that you can pretty much talk to and understand" nix said in explanation of her words before nodding towards the shop ,"you allowed to enter a world of chocolate or are you more of a healthy kind of person?" nix asked with a smile as someone left the shop and a blast of warm and a warm chocolatey smell drifted out towards the witches

[potter]

Elliot half-chuckled, she did like cats a lot, hence why she had one of her own, but something seemed different about Minx. She acted as if she thought she were human, and was quite the vocal creature. Bartholomew was practically mute in comparison, he would only hiss if angered or purr if pleased, but she had never heard him meow before. She straightened up to look back at Nix, nodding as she explained that her cat was the type that one could talk to as if it understood what was being said. "Oh I'm more of a healthy type," said Elliot, she definitely would not be allowing herself any sweets at all that day, "but there's no harm in going in and smelling around for a bit."

[nixnight]

*not my best but I have a headache and an essay to do..sorry*

Nix couldn't help but grin at the older girls comment, nix herself had to stay healthy for qudditch so she had to avoid most sweet things but chocolate was allowed as it was good for you in some ways. Bad in most true, but good in a few. She looked down at minx and then held and arm out and the cat stepped up on to her arm and walked up it until she sat at nix's shoulder. She dropped her long black tail down nix's back and then nix stepped back and waved a hand over the door ,"after you" she said with a chuckle ,"remember not to buy any now" she said in a low voice afterwards as her humour peaked a little bit

Elliot was glad to see Nix smile, perhaps she understood what she felt on a daily basis. Food was an ongoing struggle, one that she didn't ever see herself not having to grapple with. It was getting easier, she wasn't completely starving herself anymore, but it was still hard. "Thank you," said Elliot as Nix opened the door for her. She transfered her bags so she was holding something in each hand, leaving herself with full hands so she wouldn't be tempted to pick anything up. She couldn't afford to eat sweets, no matter how intoxicating the aromas of them were. "Oh, no need to tell me twice," said Elliot with a smile, she had been more than accustomed to denying herself certain foods.

((OOC: No problem, it wasn't really all that bad.))

[nixnight]

Nix chuckled at her reply before stepping in to the shop after the older girl, she herself had a little money to spend on sweets but seeing as they didn't have a lot of her favourites, she thought she'd get something simple. But it seemed that the shop owners didn't do simple chocolate. There were all sorts of moulded chocolate in the shapes of dogs and cats and even a couple of phones with marshmallow buttons and a flake for an aerial. Nix pained softly to herself before closing the shop door and sniggering, there was a black cat at the back of the shop that was pure chocolate and looked a whole lot like minx on her shoulder. It had to be a Halloween decoration, it had a witches hat on a was making it very hard for nix to keep a straight face.

[potter]

"Amazing the shapes they can make," said Elliot, thinking of the chocolate more in terms of art than something that she should eat. It made it a bit easier to look at them without her stomach demanding a piece. She had read that chocolate in its pure form contained a lot of antioxidants, but she couldn't bring herself to eat any of the confections in the shop, they were likely loaded with sugars, fats, and other undesirable things. Elliot half-smiled when she saw Minx balanced on Nix's shoulder, Bartholomew had tried to do that to her before, but her cat had found the task unenjoyable, mainly because Elliot didn't have much of a shoulder to stand on in the first place. Elliot resumed looking about, wishing that the shop didn't smell so divine.

[nixnight]

Nix soon found a problem with the wonderful shop, she saw a rather nice chocolate book with words made from hard toffee and had been just about to walk over to it to see what the words actually said when minx had mewed loudly and her tail flicked on nix's back. Nix immediately felt worried and looked around the shop only to see a sign that read "10 chocolate mice for a pound" and nix gave a small whine. "bugger" she hissed under her breath before looking at the other girl and nodding to the bucket of chocolate mice and then to minx on her shoulder ,"she'll go for them soon enough..." nix said and sure enough, before nix had a chance to move she felt a shot of pain as minx pressed her claws into her shoulder and jumped towards the bucket.

[potter]

Elliot was faintly surprised that she was enjoying herself in the shop, it wasn't all that crowded, and she found all the shapes that they could make from something as simple as chocolate amazing. Of course they weren't all that spectacular when compared to some of the things found in Honeydukes, but Elliot need only remind herself that these things were made by muggles, who had only their hands as tools, not even a simple charm went into making these creations. "Oh dear," said Elliot after Minx jumped at the bucket. She was surprised that the cat went for the sweets. True, they did look incredibly lifelike, but surely the cat had been able to smell that they weren't the real thing.

[nixnight]

Nix quickly shot her hands up and wrapped them round her cat as minx got half way away from her shoulder, the cat struggled as nix pulled her closer. "you are so thick, they are chocolate! Not for cats! Not even wild cats!" nix scolded before tapping the black cat on the nose and then holding the cat against her. She looked to the muggle shop owner and tipped her head in apology as the woman glared at her and minx in her arms before looking over to her friend and smiling slightly, it had been a little funny. She knew minx could tell the mice weren't real and she knew the cat wouldn't have eaten them but she also knew that she wanted to play with them too

[potter]

Elliot half-smiled as Nix scolded her cat, it had been almost comical, even if the poor muggle woman who owned the shop did not look at all amused. But really, there had not been any harm done, at least none that Elliot could see. And if there was she wouldn't have a problem picking up the tab, but the manager did not seem interested in making them pay for anything. "Maybe we should go," Elliot suggested to Nix as the manager continued to glare at them as if they had done something vile. The last thing Elliot wanted was to cause any sort of a scene. At any rate the smells in the shop were getting a bit too tempting, making her stomach feel like it was going to digest itself, if only from sheer frustration.

[nixnight]

Nix smiled to herself as Elliot suggested they leave and she nodded her head. She walked slowly from the back of the shop and over walked even slower towards the bright red door of the shop and then shifted minx back up on to her sholder before she then turned to the door way and pulled it open before then stepped back and nodding for Elliot to walk out. Of course the muggle woman glared at her some more for this action as she was letting the smell and warmth if the shop escape and float down the street but seeing as she already hated nix, nix saw no reason to give her any less of a reason to hate her a little bit more.

[potter]

Elliot felt a faint feeling of pride in herself as they turned to leave and she had managed to deny buying anything. She still had a tendency to punish herself if she ate anything sugary, she didn't like it, she didn't want to have to force herself to go to the gym, or go on another run. Elliot wanted her exercise to be something that she did for fun, not because she felt like she had to do it. She still enjoyed going for her run in the morning, when the sun had barely risen and there was still a slight chill in the air... "Well that was eventful," said Elliot with a little bit of a smile once they had exited the shop.

[nixnight]

Nix smiled to herself as Elliot walked out of the shop and then she followed her slowly before letting the door swing shut behind her and then she turned to the other girl. "at least it was kind of fun, but I don't see why muggles are all so strung up all the time" she said honestly before shrugging her shoulders and looking around at the now slightly busier street. "so, I'm all out of things to do this side of the wall" she said with a smile and took a moment to wonder if Tain needed her back for the girls yet, but he hadn't sent an owl yet so she took that to mean that he was doing ok by himself for the moment
