What did he sell? It would be easier to tell her what he didn't sell - a list that was painfully short. As her gaze flickered from his head to his toes in a subtle display, he couldn't help the way his crooked grin widened. "Then why don't you tell me what you're looking for, and I'll find exactly what you need?" he proposed, raising an eyebrow at her. This was turning out to be far more fun than he'd anticipated.
The news that Flora was her daughter took him aback, though he did well not to show it. Hotaru didn't look old enough to have a daughter like Flora, but then, he'd heard of kids asking the gods to age up and other such things. He supposed it was possible, although the possibility made him mildly uncomfortable. Just how young was Flora, anyway? "Ah, Flora," he said instead, nodding sagely. "Of course. I was with her just the other day in the Hanged Man. She's done well with the place," he added truthfully. Her modern take on the bar, in addition to her plans for the back room... well, George was a fan, to say the least.
But in terms of allure, he had to admit that Hotaru had the edge on her daughter there. Where Flora was an obvious tease, Hotaru seemed to have more fun with wit. And that suited George just fine. He did his best to look a little wounded, though his eyes still twinkled playfully. "And here I thought we were getting along so well," he complained after her comment about Flora's questionable taste.
