layla was.. baffled. were his eyes deceiving him? as he stepped towards the shelf, he collected the medium, oval shaped ruby into his hands with what could only be described as heart eyes, thumbs brushing over the semi rough surface. he'd been hunting down ruby for years as it was one of the rarest stones in Haven, his heart nearly fluttering at just touching it - it would be perfect for his work. he was lost in his own world as he stared at it, becoming hypnotized by the swirls of glistening red to the point he hadn't even heard anyone else in the shop. jumping when the door closed, he pulled the gem closed and his heel to head to the counter. he ignored the weird, twisting feeling in his gut and checked out, a toothy smile on his features, moth like wings fluttering happily.
