Guinevere yawned, then stretched as she opened up her shop, it smelled like coffee, and book pages. She sighed, seeing the morning sun, walking through the small little place, then went behind the counter waiting for those who come in.
She walked around the shop, stacking up, and switching out old empty bottles with filled ones. The sun shined in sweetly, lighting up the shop, it danced along her tan skin, her milk chocolate, curly hair was tied back to keep out of her face.

It didn't take long, for her first costumer to walk in, he was a knight and clanked while walking. She looked up at him, her sweet curls dancing around shoulders, and her hazelnut irises looked straight into the older gentleman's dirt brown ones.
"How may I help you sir?"She spoke somewhat monotone, and went back to stacking the shelves.
"I am here to ask for the help of Merlin the wizard."He said in a rough demanding voice."Point me to where he is wench so I may speak to him."

She rolled her eyes and walked to the counter."Can't." She spoke matter of fact tone.
"Can't?!"He yelled hurting her ears in the process.
"Yes, can't," she sighed."as in I can't point ya too him, or I can't help ya with ya problem, that exact word and use of can't, ya rude savage."
He glared at her and stepped closer as a warning of if she did not tell him, he'd kill her.
She rolled her eyes again, and picked at her nails, not caring for what he would try to do.
"Look here missy,"He began his tone dangerous and like a growl."tell me where Merlin is or-?!"
As soon as he muttered that threat he regretted it, because now he was on the ground aching he had been kicked in the stomach by one of the other Knights, who came in to see how the process was coming along.
"Idiot, do not speak to her in such a way you scum." The new knight yelled.
"Hello and welcome to Excalibur potions, how may I help you?"she said in a monotone voice, bored from the scene before her."if you break zany of the merchandise you must buy it, this is our company policy."
The new knight looked at her and chuckled, this was the first surprise she's had all day.

She smirked at him in return, and stood up a bit more straight.
"Well for a pretty lady like you I'd buy your whole shop, but beside that,"He trailed off a little."I don't suppose you know where Merlin is, we do desperately need his help.
She pouted a bit but nodded, she knew they probably wouldn't leave without talking to him. "Yes, yes, but I'm sorry you'll have to wait till tomorrow,"She began." My father is a very old man, and will be coming back from the Doctor's by noon the next day."
The Knights both looked surprised, her father was Merlin, the wizard who fought in the Great War years ago. This girl could be no older then the princess of the kingdom who had just turned of age, which was 14.
"Excuse me but how old are you?" The second knight asked.
"Well rude question but I'll answer it anyway."She put her hands on her hips and had shook her head."If you must know, I'm 20."
Both Knights looked dumbfounded, but their looks of surprise were soon interrupted by the high priestess, Lilith.
"Guinevere, it is good to see you are in good health,"She stated grimly."but please may I speak with you?"
