"I'll take the full order—two loaves, two iced teas."
Sixty golden coins.
Noah retrieved the items from his stock, watching Lola immediately unwrap one loaf and uncork a bottle.
The familiar ritual of bread consumption followed by iced tea enhancement played out with her obvious satisfaction.
"Mmm," she sighed with contentment.
"Your products never disappoint. They always make me...feel some type of way."
The remaining items disappeared into her storage space.
Their transaction concluded just as the shop door opened again with a dramatic flourish that announced Viscount Vex's arrival before he became visible. His cape billowed with energy while Precious perched behind his ear like a hair accessory.
Right on schedule. Morning routine never varies.
Vex's eyes immediately found Lola, and he offered a courteous nod that spoke to proper demon etiquette among social equals.
"Lady Lola. Always a pleasure."
