Atalie walked into the shop behind Odette and was surprised to see that the interior was as rustic as the exterior. There were multiple colourful bottles and nick-nacks on the shelves behind the receptionist desk and by the looks of things, they were not something she should go poke her nose in.
Odette saw a girl helping another customer and called out, "Astrid!"
The girl, Astrid, turned and Atalie got her first good look at her face. The girl had brown flowing hair and dark green eyes that resembled a thick forest. She wore a flower crown kinda thing in her hair which gave her an ethereal glow.
Astrid smiled at Odette and beckoned the girls over. "Three? Last time it was just two. Got a new lamb for your posse, eh Odette?" Astrid's voice had an Irish accent which simply gave a bonus point to her already lyrical voice.
"You know me." Odette replied with a good natured smile. "Besides, she's my new roommate. The missing piece that connects and completes the golden trio. Her name's Atalie." Odette said as a means of introduction.
"Great to meet you Atalie! I'm Astrid."
She held out a hand which Atalie shook. Astrid then went to the back of the store after Odette told her that they needed books for the general subjects of the first year. She returned shortly and banged three small stacks of books on the table.
"You girls looking for anything else? I've got a new stock of some lovely jewellery. You can take a look if you want." Astrid offered.
"Really? Maybe we will." Odette replied and Astrid led them to another section of the store where the jewellery was kept on display. The girls fawned over various types of bracelets, pendants and rings on display.
