[ ooc note: let's say this is all happening before her disappearance. ]
RUN THIS SHOW [ if there was one thing lillian loved, it was trying to strike a deal with humans. deals that involved money and haggling, not the usual ones she was so used to. there was just something amusing in the way she and the person haggled and negotiated and debated about the quality of the work and what it should amount to.
so she opened her shop with a surprise sale one morning, when the air was tad warmer and the skies were slightly brighter.
her latest batch of creations were placed up, the latest trends and the best materials for everyone to see.
the price tags merely listed as 'ask mrs. lotus' and nothing more. when called, she'll head over to the person with a sweet smile on her face and an inquisitive tilt to her head as she speaks in perfect, soft english- ]
Is there something I can help you with?
BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK [ she hadn't felt this unsettled since the 40s.
the recent light of some events had left her on edge, keeping a sharper eye and ear out for certain faces and certain names. once upon a time, she remembered coming to london because she thought it would be peaceful here compared to the bustle of beijing, the eeriness of paris.
oh how a few years can change that.
that day she wanted some time to herself. the idea of hosting gatherins for her fellows usually excited her but not that day. she turned off the lights and closed the curtains and changed out to something more comfortable-
-forgetting to flip the sign to 'closed' in her rush for some personal time.
lillian only realised her mistake when checking her inventory and logs and she heard the familiar jingle of the door's bells.
she looked up and frowned, barely holding back a sigh as she placed a polite smile on her face and tried, as usual, to be a cordial host. ]
-I'm sorry but we're closed for today. Even for friends of the store. [ her code for 'seelies' in case humans and others wandered in the shop to gawk at the items, the clothes she had displayed. ] May whatever you need wait until tomorrow?
