"Mim-oh-sah," the child corrected gently, patient because she knew some people had a harder time remembering than others. It was okay, she would just keep reminding him until his old person memory could finally understand and retain the information. The little witch had faith the little wizard would learn her name some day.
At the mention of an owl named Quinn, the girl turned promptly on queue, ready to see the owl, but no sooner had she turned than a loud bang reverberated through the shop, almost sending her to the floor in shock. Luckily the child managed to remain steady on her feet, a second fall in the span of the same hour would ensure a trip to the hospital and Mimosa was in no mood to explain to her grandfather how she'd gotten so hurt.
Sadly the hoers in the shop were not as easily taken care off. There was a scream, several windows shutting, a child smaller than her wailing and... the witch's eyes flew open when she saw wands drawn. Why would a bang send the shop into panic? A woman found her way to Mimosa and took a stance in front of the child, blocking the american witch's view.
'Stay behind me love, there could be bad people here," the middle aged witch warned, wand at the ready and confusing Mimosa even more. it was almost as if these people were expecting something bad.
And then she remembered her new friend Victoria saying soemthing... about not being alone in these times? What times did the lawyer mean? Was something bad happening here?
Suddenly the child was scared, no longer interested in the owls or the toys, blue eyes frantically searching for ehr new friend but he was nowhere to be found."
"Let me though," a familiar voice yelled and tears stung Mimosa's eyes as her grandfather's tall frame came into view. Shoving her way from behind the lady, she ran to him, hugging him around the knees. It took a few minutes for the place to settle down and to ensure that the only real injury was the shock the owls had suffered but Mimosa wasn't paying attention to that. All she knew was that Grandpa was here and she'd get to go home soon.
And she did, almost forgetting the strange little encounter she'd had that day.
