When she noticed a customer becoming a little too familiar towards the shopkeeper, Damaris immediately made an attempt to catch his attention by waving her arms overhead. Yes, they could have a close relationship, but she wanted to be sure that the demon wasn’t uncomfortable, as he had a tendency to be a little prude or polite at times. Mouthing “are you okay??” In a slow, exaggerated manner before pointing to the stranger, then punching her palm with a closed fist to signal that the witch was willing to get a little physical. While the gesture could have been interpreted as a joke, it certainly wasn’t. ( she 1000% is just giving off (ง'̀-'́)ง vibes at the slight chance someone is nothing him lmao. Also may not make sense cause I’m at work and typed this hella quick lmao)
old man got game 👀 (with @manneatcr!)
This was not as uncommon an occurrence as one would expect for the skeletal-adorned entity. That wasn't to say he HATED the attention, no no... He'd readily admit that sometimes he even enjoyed a good flirt for the fun of it. But that's all it was.. For the fun of it. All in good nature. He'd never be the one to initiate though, goodness no. But sometimes... Even after he's tried to redirect the conversation or bring their attentions elsewhere-- they persisted. He'd not be rude to a customer if he could help it of course... but at times .... there were some that were particularly pushy or overt in their advances. He'd shut them down politely as he could and most did cease. but some did not. Like this one for instance. Try as he might to be amiable to all customers, he did have his limits. He was quickly approaching his.
Ah. And from the corner of his eye spots a pair of human hands flailing upward. Yellow eyes briefly flicker over and catch her as she mouths her silent question, and in response, there is a slight widening of the lights in their empty sockets-- as if widening his eyes for a moment in an exasperated gesture. His current company, despite being seemingly transfixed by him, did not catch it. His head turns then when she mimics violence, and his head tips just so in a subtle decline of her offer. She wouldn't be able to inside the shop with the charm and all anyway. "Ah, pardon me. I apologize, but..." he raises a hand, interrupting the customer in the middle of their sentence, and he leans down a bit in a small, apologetic bow. "It has been a pleasure, but it appears I am needed elsewhere."
And just like that, they say their goodbyes and Artemis makes his way toward where Dama had been standing, passing by her with a side-glance and a very low, very exasperatedly relieved sounding "g o d."
