Art by: moodytanukiClosing up wasn't so difficult today as it usually was. Stragglers would roam the place keeping it open longer than it was intended to. They didn't even buy anything half the time, so what was even the point? This could pose as a problem sometimes due to Legosi's shy nature, but today was different.
The wolf was on his way home, his direction towards the Hidden Condo which was where he stayed all these years. He couldn't afford anything better, the flower shop didn't make too much money but he was happy so did it really matter?
He would often walk Jack home after a day of work but the dog explained before he left that he had an essay due Friday that took up most of his grade.
It didn't bother the wolf in the slightest, he knew how important grades were to the carnivore. When they were both enrolled in Cherryton, Legosi still recalls the nights of viscous studying from the labador, the dog wanting perfect grades no matter what.
There was also a plus for Jack departing earlier than he would because of his flower shop being so close to the black market, not having to worry about Jack's well-being.
Sure, Jack could talk his way out of most things, but the only fight he took part in was the one that took place when they were kids. Funny on where that lead to.
Legosi would feel terrible if Jack got hurt because of him, not being able to predict what could happen in the black market. Legosi would try to protect his companion to the best of his ability but the wolf could only do so much.
Having Jack leave earlier so it wasn't dark out when he went on his way to go home made the wolf feel more at ease. Even though he enjoyed walking with the labrador, his safety was more important.
The Hidden Condo was finally in eyesight as the wolf trudged on just wanting to lay down and relax after a long day of work. He passed by some decorations for the spooky holiday making him wonder if he should put up some at his workplace. It could entice more customers was his first thought on the matter.
He tended to wait until the start of October to put up any decorations for the holiday but it was only a week away so why not just do it tomorrow? After thinking on the topic a bit more, getting a second opinion from Jack was his conclusion as he entered the Condo and made his way towards his apartment.
The complex wore it's usual look, runned down and slightly off putting. The animals that frequented there gave the wolf hellos and other greetings as he went. Of course not having a bad bone in his body, he made sure to greet the ones who did as well.
Making his way up the stairs and opening his door to enter, a disheveled Sebun came speed walking towards him, waving her hand to get his attention.
"Hello Sebun." Legosi greeted not really wanting to speak to his next door neighbor but it would be rude to ignore her.
"Legosi! I was hoping you'd come home soon." Sebun started leaning her body onto the wall not bothering with being formal in front of the other.
"My parent's anniversary is tomorrow and I was wondering if you had any blue tulips in stock." She got straight to the point not wanting to do idle chit chat it seemed.
It was a shock though, the last thing the wolf was expecting was to hear a question about his work. Sebun never showed any interest into it before, didn't even stop by once yet. Legosi even wanted to state to have a visit and tell her to find out herself but he knew that would be extremely rude and unprofessional.
"I do, if you want I can make a bouquet out of different flowers that would match." He offered.
"That would be awesome, I'll come by tomorrow and pick it up?" She asked not knowing if the shop would be closed or open.
