A half-hour before The Coffin House opens and Yaroslav is subject to mourning people begging for a last moment with their loved ones, he's taking inventory and making sure the shelves are all filled up, as they should be. "Hey, S, are we stocked up on celestite minerals?"

"Um," Sarai says, thinking back hard to the few days before. "We got a shipment on Monday, I'm sure of it." She glances towards the shelf for good measure and it looks well stocked enough? "But we don't have much obsidian salt left."

He has the clipboard on hand with the full list, and he's already marking obsidian salt as she says it. In that moment, he swears he hears the door's bell ding, so he looks up, already frowning and prepared to ask the person to vacate the shop, but when he sees the shimmering paleness, he smiles. "Hi, Ms. Brown! We're not open yet, but your grandson scheduled his last appointment for a quarter before ten today." Nice old lady, Ms. Brown. She passed away recently from heart failure and her grandson hadn't been able to let go of her just yet. They had matters to resolve, and that was the point of their meeting today. "You can wait upstairs, if you like," he flashes her a quick smile before he turns to Sarai, "It's Mr. Brown's grandmum!"

Smiling brightly at the ghost, Sarai waves and says her hellos before she turns back to Yaroslav with the air of a puppy waiting for a command. "Will you be taking the session, today? Can I sit in? I want to work on my ghost-whispering."

"Yes andddd yes, assuming that's alright with the clients. You know the rules, consent and whatnot," Yaroslav says. Her excitement is refreshing and makes him feel sincerely happy with how his adult life has turned out. A little messy, a little chaotic, but all roads led to him making himself comfortable in his predicament and enjoying the company of an eager protégé. He turns towards Ms. Brown with an inquisitive look, but before he can get any words out, the ghost nods. "You can always try now. I don't think she'd mind, you know."

Sarai nods, eyes wide. Of course she wouldn't try to break people's trust like that - death is sacred and personal, after all. She smiles at the ghost again, but says, "I'll help you finish the inventory, first, I think."

"Oh, thank Merlin. I thought you'd abandon me. I love my shops, but owning four of them and running them on my own isn't easy. Did you know I had a Karen come in the other day? One of those vintage ones, from the 2020s. Real uptight, demanding to know why we weren't open. Listen, lady, I'm short-staffed everywhere!" Yaroslav huffs, shaking his head in clear exasperation. "Seriously, S, if you have any friends that need jobs, send them to me. Need all the help I can get nowadays." Yaroslav pauses. "Anyways. What's next, what's next..."

"Of course I wouldn't!" she says, as though he just accused her of murder. "I'll always help. And really? I didn't know Karens could be necromancers," a frown passes across her face. No wonder they have such a bad reputation nowadays. "My brother just got a job at the Apothecary! I'll ask him!"

"Oh, no, not here. My other one, Cobb & Webb's. Karens are the real enemies, you know. Cranky, demanding, bitchy... they remind me of my older sisters, Yelena and Polina. I don't think they've come in, but they have the budding attitudes. Being empress of Russia certainly enables Polina's entitlement," Yaroslav goes off on a tangent, as is his habit. He marks a few things on the paper as he goes through the shelves, occasionally stopping to rearrange things. "Excellent! Keep me updated. Any brothers of yours are instantly hired!"

"Your sister is an empress?" she repeats, eyes wide in shock. "You're royalty? That's so cool!" She leans over to count the number of vials of virgin's blood on the shelf. "I have three brothers, but one's eleven. What's the minimum age?"

"Oh, no! No, no, no, not me. My sister! Her wife, she's the blood royal. I'm just the dumbass that shouldn't have told you anything about that because I'm technically just Roman Daly," he says, faking a horrible posh accent to make his point, "Not Yaroslav Tolstokozhev. And... fifteen, I think. It's what Hogwarts allows, right? But he can join the business when he's older! The Coffin House will end up a family business before you know it. An old man and his four funky little kids."

"Ohhh," she says. That does make more sense to her. Why would a Grand Duke be working in Knockturn, after all? "'Course you are. Very English!" She smiles brightly. "I'll tell my brothers. Probably one of them at least will help."

"As English as English toast!" Yaroslav chirps, beaming at Sarai. "Thank you! You're my favorite person in the world, have I ever told you that? Anything you need, I'm here!"

Sarai beams back at him - she'll never admit it, but Yaska's probably the closest she's got to a father-older brother figure, other than her actual older brother. "Really? That's so nice," she tells him, briefly considering whether or not to tell him about the Samael situation. Probably shouldn't. "Actually, Az and his - I don't know what. Friend? - they found a body last night in one of the side alleys. Can we go look for the ghost, later? I want to make sure he's adjusting okay, and things."

"Az. Az, Az, Az... is he the one you say is a bit antisocial? He has friends?" He's surprised, but the pleasant kind. He always likes it when loner kids find friends. He can see himself in all of them - or hear, in Az's case - so it's just... nice, knowing there's still hope for all of them. "Yeah, sure! We can do it in our lunch break," he smiles briefly at her before looking over his list. "I think we're just about done here."

"He lives with a friend right now, I think," she says. "But I'm glad to see him branch out! I just hope he doesn't scare her off. She sounds nice, from what he said." At the revelation that they're almost done, she perks up. "Okay, that's great! You know the violent deaths are always the most angsty ghosts. We should let him haunt the shop until he figures out what he needs to do."

"No Cagan can scare anyone off. Look at you! If he's half the person you are, he's gotta have people fighting for him," he dismisses Sarai's concerns unwittingly, genuinely believing all Cagans to be really sweet. Sarai is Sarai. Any brothers of her must be a gift, antisocial like him or not. "Uhhhh maybe not? I don't want him disrupting our other clients," he admits, frowning a little. "Maybe we can keep him around after-hours and give him some closure! I just don't particularly want him affecting business. Which is a little gross, I'm sorry! But... capitalism..."

Sarai stifles a giggle - she should bring Az in here and introduce them. Then Yaska will understand. "He has one friend," she tells him, "but I can't laugh because I'm the same. But he's one of those really edgy boys who's constantly in his own feelings. You know? Mean to everyone," she frowns then. "I can ask him to stay upstairs during the day! I just think it's really terrible that he's just been killed and now he has to deal with it all by himself. I want to help."
