Lillith left her money on the counter and turned around. "It's nice to meet you, Corvin," she said. She offered him a hand to shake. "My name is Lillith, and this little mischief maker is Lock. Say hello, pet."
She didn't tug on the leash this time. She didn't want to do anything that might make the new monster suspicious of her when she inevitably had to explain to him that Shock was setting him up for something nasty. His first impression of the vampiress would have to be at least as pleasant as his first impression of Shock, for him to consider what she had to say.
Carver shook her hand, then looked down at Lock. He tilted his head to the side as if examining the little devil, than said, "It is nice, to meet you, Lock. Are you, having fun running, errands with, your mother, today?"
Agnes landed her broom on her stool behind the counter, prompting Agatha to wave. "Nice to meet you. We'll have to get to know each other some other time, though. I have something to do, umm... in the potions room..." She quickly ducked out of the front area of the shop, leaving her aunt to deal with whatever Shock tried to pull upon finding out about the new policy.
