"Of course we'd like to become premium members" Dahme'dre replies, "The value of your services are definately apparent." She listens as Millie lists the items of interest. "Scrolls are a fairly simple thing. Of course, it was only a few days past when we last spoke. I still have not yet returned home, but I think we can work something out." She snaps her fingers summoning her notepad and asks, "So what can I prepare for you? A familiar is a popular and useful spell, but a Shield is a good choice for a scroll. Or maybe I can grant you a Blessing and skip making it into a scroll?"
Millie heaves the books onto a shelf, “Sure, just about anything material will do fine. You can save your strength on that blessing, I can’t really make a profit on that. Although, I think that you forget that it’s been about...” Millie thinks for a moment, “Two weeks since we talked? Yes, that sounds right. So, anyway, don’t forget the first payment for that shield should come in about two more weeks.”

Alijurn pats the shield on his back. "Of course, Miss Millie. I always pay my dues."
Millie blows some hair out of her eyes as she turns to you. The bangs settle back quickly, but you catch the faintest glimpse of eyes that seem to glimmer with an incandescent shine of a deep reddish-purple, “I don’t doubt it, Mr. Alijurn, I’m confident that you are a worthwhile investment.” She gives a big toothy grin.

Ironically, Dahme'dre who couldn't even imagine daily life without touching the weave, who manipulates those threads as easily as she breathes, carries no magical objects to speak of beyond a staff she uses as an arcane focus and a few components. She looks unperturbed though. Ashe has demonstrated a great affinity for that sort of thing.
(I could Presto a little clock work tin monkey, but that probably wouldnt pass.)
Alijurn looks reluctantly at his shield. "Giving the shield back might not be something you're interested in for the premium membership. I'd rather have a good deal with you than this shield." Although Alijurn makes the offer it is quite clear on his face that he doesn't really like the idea.

"No, no," Ashe puts a hand on the shield. "That simply won't do." Ashe then manhandles Alijurn a bit and tries to fetch the message gummy. Unsatisfied and unable to find it, she stops and asks, "I hate to do this, dear Alijurn, but that gift I gave you? Hand it over to our beautiful hostess, hmmm?"

Sunny takes his (slightly nibbled) purple cookie out of his pocket and hands it to Ashe with a blank expression on his face. "I believe this would kill me. Let the small girl have it."
Meanwhile, as you’re discussing, Melvin is gently scooting away, “This seems like a personal matter for some of you, so if you don’t mind me, I’ll just be over... er... here.”
"Melvin," Dahme'dre says, "You should think of this as an opportunotyd! This is your chance to turn your life around! Turn over a new leaf!

It allows the user to send and receive messages in the utmost private. ... "So how does your premium membership work?" She asks.
(We need to sign something? Make a trade? Our gummy for her Rod of the Pact Keeper? Wham we're in the club, access to the facilities? Or does she want something in exchange for membership?)

“Great! Yeah, that’ll do fine. You see, with Millie’s Marvelous Membership, you can receive trade-in value for your magical items! Anytime you trade in a magical item, I’ll add one Millie Token to your account. As long as you have at least one credit in your account, you can have access to any of our wonderful amenities, including a complimentary spa complex! Also, you can do like you wanted and access the Relative Exit, which you can use to visit any of our storefront locations!” Millie grabs a pen and pad, “So, do we have a deal?”
Melvin whispers, “I’m very frightened of her...”

Alijurn reaches into his pocket and pulls out the gummy. It has been put into a napkin from the inn so it shouldn't have gathered that much lint from his pocket yet. "To be honest I had already forgotten about it, Ashe. Here, I have no use for it. I can use my voice." He hand the wrapped gummy over to Millie. "Well have to come back to that spa treatment. We have other business to attend to currently"

Millie gently takes the gummy, “Well, this is a neat little thing. I’m sure I can find a use for it! Deal!” Millie flicks her wrist and like a magic trick, it vanishes. She then scampers behind the desk and knocks on the wooden frame of the curtain. A light flashes behind it. She then gestures to the front door, “You now have access to the back room, if you’d like. Plus, the front door now can lead to whichever of my storefronts that you’ve already been to!”

Sunstripe throws an arm around Melvin and starts walking him to the back of the store. "Alright, new friend. Let us see what adventures await. If only we had a bard to write a song about the two of us! 'Kevin and Honeyclaw, Heroes of the Small Girl's Shop'!"
Ashe, meanwhile, spends time observing Honey/Sunny/...Money? and taking notes about his physique. She also makes a note that Millie takes well to her spiderwares - which may prove to be a valuable source of information... as well as potential wealth.

Alijurn crosses his arms and nods towards the back room. "Tell me how the back room works again. Is it an extra dimensional space? If so, do we have personal storage or does every member use the same space? I wouldn't like to think of what would happen if another customer came in and stumbled upon poor Melvin here." He looks concerned.

Mille puts her hand on her chin and rubs it, “Hmm. How do I explain it.” She thinks for a moment, “Ah! So. Imagine you’re standing outside and the door is closed. You open the door, and suddenly, a pocket space is created, a hallway to the back room. So, for every customer, there is this space you’re in. Once you reach the back room, you reach the real Millie’s Magnificents. So as long as you visit here alone, you’ll be the only person ever in the store.
