Inspire had a look on her face that suggested she was genuinely interested in what he had to say. He had her full attention as he spoke about his work. In truth, she was pretty happy that they so quickly found something they could talk about. This was probably why Magenta had chosen the two of them to set up in the first place.
"Oh it must be exciting," Inspire said wistfully. She was still imagining an entire shop full of beautiful old jewels and lovingly hand made furniture. "Each day you can open the door and never know what's coming though." It's why she loved photography, really. Every time she pulled out a camera, there was no way of telling what she would capture. The thrill of catching the perfect shot always drove her to improve her art and expand her horizons. She wondered if it was like that for him, too.

She moved expertly, making sure that not a drop of liquid spilled or a single leaf of tea escaped the pot. "Here you are, dear," she plunked the teacup, which didn't have handles, right in front of him.
I'm just here flying off the deep end.
I'm just here to become the best yet.
I'm just here for the psych assessment.
I'm just here for the, for the...
