"The Lavender Room" by stella_123_5
Every tourist spot has its well-kept secrets. Things the locals love, but somehow don’t make it into the tourist brochures. In Neovia, one of those little secrets was a small shop named “Brigham & Becks”, or, as its most frequent customers affectionately called it, The Lavender Room. It was a cosy little building. All old-time Neovian charm, with elegantly weathered velvet curtains and large windows, the walls covered in flowery lavender wallpaper. Everything was served in beautifully painted plates, and in teacups with handles so delicate only a Neovian would have the courage to handle them. “What would you like today, ladies?” Lisa Becks, the current manager of The Lavender Room, asked. The blue Zafara smiled pleasantly at her regulars, a middle-aged pair of Ixis who came in for brunch every Tuesday, right from when her mother was the one running the shop. The yellow one glanced at her friend before replying. “Lisa, is it true? Does the Benvolio girl always come here? Are you friends?”
