"And in these magic moments, I'll have you for my own..."
Alone
A Princess Tutu fanfic by Klondike Aura
Businesses usually don't like it when their merchandise sits on the shelves with no buyers. But since Edel's business isn't really selling jewelry, anything that is sold is just extra.
Though, if Edel had to assign any feeling to it, sales were not something she liked.
She sat beneath a tree, her barrel organ silent as she looked over her wares. She scooped them up in her hand and lets them cascade through her fingertips. One remains in her palm: hers. Artistic license. The Author's Bypass.
The only time she can really notice it is when it's alone in her hand.
She tilts her hand and lets it drop with the others. It fits in seamlessly, no matter how she might move or place it in the box. She can't focus and see it the way she can when it's separate. Another cog to keep the gears running smoothly.
But a cog can't work by itself.
