There's a knock on the door to the shop, and a muffled Now? that is so easily recognisable, and of course she is a little nervous and a lot excited. Seconds later, she's unlocking the door, opening it, eyebrows raised.

"Lurker. Come inside, I need to lower the blinds and set the alarm."

She steps aside to gesture him to enter, then closes the door and locks it behind him. There is a door to access her home upstairs from the street level, but she also has a well-warded entrance from the back of the shop, which they can take. The store is all theirs, he'll come to notice, as soon as he steps inside. Because it operates like a normal storefront, her shop comes with metal blinds that she lowers at night, when she also empties the cash register and sets her wards.

She's already emptied the register (into her pendant), and but a few dim lights are switched on now. While she pushes the buttons to lower the blinds covering her large windows and door, her attention jumps to the tables in the shop.

How sturdy are your tables?

(Technically, they could find out.)

"So," she asks, turning around to face him but remaining by the door. "How long have you been ready?"
