you belong among the wildflowers
It's been a little over a week since the grand opening of Thistle Do Nicely, and Riley has been pleasantly surprised by how well the reception to the shop has been. They'd found a prime location, halfway between the boardwalk and a bakery and bookshop, so while they've already gotten customers ordering future arrangements for things like anniversaries and birthdays, they also get people in to pick up the occasional stray flower here and there, just to give to someone special. He's already thinking he and Ryan should eventually consider setting up a small flower kiosk out on the boardwalk itself, though it's still a little too hot for that. Maybe more into autumn, when people are looking for bursts of color to brighten the darker days.
As for today, it's slower than it's been since they opened and while in some ways that's a little disappointing, it also comes as a little bit of a relief because it means he can concentrate on other things. Ordering more inventory, for one, which may or may not include a Keurig machine because having to walk to Quill every time he needs another caffeine fix (which is considerably often) is already starting to get old.
Glancing over his shoulder to see Ryan attending to a customer who seems much more interested in learning about his likes and dislikes than the different kinds of carnations they offer, Riley smirks to himself before turning his attention to his phone. Shooting off a text to the contacts he's made in town so far, he tucks his phone back in his pocket and wanders outside with a watering can to take care of the flowers they've set up for display outside. It's a beautiful day out, Riley observes, and he can only hope that someone else will come along soon to make it even better.

Davin doesn't realize how tense he is until Riley reacts so positively. He relaxes and grins hugely, nodding his head and holding out a hand to let a few sparks dance on his palm. Edan watches carefully, sharp eyes tracking each little movement.
"Aye. I can manipulate it, create it, wield it. All sorts o' stuff." Davin visibly brightens just talking about his magic, and Edan squeaks happily. There are plenty of people in Davin's life that are completely supportive of his magic, but there are also those who aren't. Those people wouldn't matter except that, well, they're pretty important ones.
Riley asks what else he can do and Davin looks him over, flashing him a playful grin when he realizes that there's a zipper on the sweater that Riley is wearing. Davin watches Riley's face as he uses his magic to slowly pull the zipper down until the sweater pops open to reveal the undershirt beneath it. "Whoops."

After draping the jacket over the counter, he holds his arms out and does a slow turn. "Like what you see, Irish? Just know that it's very cruel to tease like that when you've already made it clear that flirting will get me nowhere."

He can't help but to chuckle a little, flushing a bit and looking over at his flowers again. Riley is gorgeous, funny, and thoughtful, and Davin can't help but to think that whoever manages to snap him up will be very lucky indeed. Because they'll get a hot guy who will constantly give them flowers.
"You've spoiled me, y'know," Davin tells him, waving an admonishing finger in his face. "How am I s'posed t'go on after gettin' treated like this, huh? I guess I'll just have t'come back an' hope I can charm some more flowers out o' ya."
