The Museum was having a quiet day, with only the usual visitors and staff milling about, like an ordered, if sparsely-populated ant-hive. The noise around was quasi non-existent, as befit the distinguished establishment.
Pop-pop!, came the dual bursting bubbles breaking the silence. Pop-pop! Although Aurum's ended up smaller before collapsing, it was a welcome distraction. Standing next to the reception desk waiting for a guest would have been dull, dull, duuuuuull without it.
The piece of gum from the secret stash under the desk had cost her an as-yet-unnamed favor. Fortunately, even though Gina remained quiet on the subject of technique and method, her actions were enough to make her a good teacher in the art and physics of bubbles of candy. The two practiced the bubble, over and over again, while Aurum tapped her foot. Whether in impatience or from the music droning in her earbud was a mystery.
Aurum ghosted, with permission, to help Yog deal with scene overload. And also because I thought I'd have fun with it. :D
