The door bell jingled as someone entered the shop and Lilith paused her work, her willowy hands hovering just above the bundle of flowers. Her heart sped up a little, her legs started twitching, and she was over come by the urge to either run like hell or find a way to make herself seem bigger. 'Calm down,' the florist thought angrily, irritated with herself for letting her animalistic urges get the better of her, even for a brief moment. It had been a long time since Lilith had listened to her baser instincts and she wasn't about to start today.
"I, uh, I was wondering if I could take some pictures? Of the flowers? I'm a nature photographer...I was wondering if I could take some photos of the Boat Orchids? I'll be quiet, I wont disrupt any other customers, or anything, I just really wanna take some photos."
"I'm sorry, I'd have to talk with the manager fir--," Lilith started as she turned around, but stopped and gasped when she laid eyes on the stranger. "O-oh," she stammered, eyes transfixed on the gentleman's antlers. The former nursing student had never seen anyone with horns before. Her hands twitched as she fought the urge to touch them. "Oh Jesus, that's rude," the girl scolded herself, rubbing at her arm self consciously and giving a small cough. "Sorry, we don't see a lot of animal people," Lilith apologized, forcing her eyes to meet the other's and flashing him a kind smile.
"We don't normally let people take photographs inside the shop," she admitted regretfully, eyes dropping to the older style camera that was slung around his neck. 'I bet this guy never catches a break,' Lilith mused, biting at her bottom lip anxiously. 'What could it hurt?'
"...but I'll let you, just this once. My boss is an older red headed lady, so if you see her come in you've gotta hide that fancy camera of yours," Lilith told him before giving him a quick wink. "I'm Lilith. Let me know if you need help with anything!"
