at least she's a little easier to ignore, this way. he can head all the way back to the site of the soon-to-be-shop in peace... not realizing that he's also leading her right to where she'll be able to find him any time she wants to in the future. he's definitely underestimating her persistence there.
the shop is occupying a corner spot, tucked snugly at the end of a pleasant line of storefronts. some furniture and boxes are visible through the front window, and it already looks rather warm and welcoming. the colorful carved sign has already been made, though it's leaning against the front door and not hung up above it yet. this place will soon be a cozy little magic shop, full of all sorts of remedies and curiosities calling to adventurous passersby.
