[ there's another specter in the shop today, perhaps not the dark specter on the angel's mind, but another immortal type. he's still and quiet while Aziraphale fusses, but he finally speaks up softly. ]

I fear that is a common sentiment of all the shops within this city.

when it's way more important to complain

[benedicus]

( while aziraphale would hate to say as much, it took him far too long to sense the presence of another in the shop along with him. he's starting to get used to it—the ever sliding scale of his abilities in this city. this one, however, is surprising because it's such a large presence.

impossible to miss.

but more importantly, they both agree. )

Truly! These places are far better when they are bustling and there's ample people about.

( he makes a loose hand gesture. )

And someone knowledgable is on hand to provide an educated opinion.

[hypnagothic]

[ and yet the angel still missed it. tsk.

but Dream tilts his head slightly as he continues to regard this angel. ]

You yourself are not knowledgeable?

[benedicus]

( complicated question with an equally complicated answer. )

Yes and no.

( a vague hand gesture. )

I have probably forgotten more than I recall. It's why having another around can be quite invaluable!

[hypnagothic]

I see.

[ a semi-polite non-answer. ]

And what is your intent with acquiring these flowers?

[benedicus]

( this almost feels like the setup to a joke. an angel and a █████ walk into a flower shop—

aziraphale hesitates, considering how to reply. before just deciding to be forthright. )

You've heard of the upcoming gala, yes? I'd like to pick out a nice bouquet for when I ask to be accompanied by another. Something a little flashy.

( for the demon's tastes. )

[ Dream nods, considering as he looks over the displays around them. ]

Then perhaps bolder colors will suit.
