Not a special day. Just a day.
Who: Pilouette and you
Where: District 3 and later, District 1
When: December 9th, Early afternoon through early evening
Summary: Pilouette runs into people during a typical day of selling sweets and post-work shopping.
Warnings: Possible bouts of silliness?
In the six months or so that Pilouette has been in Saeng Seong, she's managed to get used to being there. She's not necessarily happy about it, but she's gotten used to it. Over time, a neat little schedule eventually built itself up and today isn't much different. For most of the afternoon, Pilouette will be at her job, working in a small sweets shop in District 3. During her shift, she might be behind the counter or straightening. Just out of habit, she greets anyone who walks in with a smile and an automatic "Welcome! How can I help you today?"
After work, she heads over to the mall. She mostly window shops and, though she's not intending to actually buy anything, Pilouette spends an especially long amount of time of time looking at various small pieces of furniture. There wasn't much in her apartment that wasn't there when she arrived. After all, much of the furniture looked pretty pricey and she's not sure she really needs any of it, as nice as some of these things would be to have.
A bit later, on her way home, she makes her way to the grocery store to do her usual food shopping for the week. Along with the regular things like potatoes and milk, Pilouette looks over the various native foods, trying to decide what new thing she wants to try this week, carefully inspecting the various fruits and vegetables. Before long, she's on her way back to her apartment, groceries in hand. She's sort of come to enjoy the walk home.
...It's not home. It's just her apartment.

So it was probably for the best that Pilouette chimed in when she did.
"Uh...maybe? I hope so, anyway. I was hoping you could help me put together some gift baskets. Or at least find some good stuff to put in them."
Okay he really hoped she could help him because help he has never done this before, what does he do.

"Of course I can help with that! Are you looking for just some general kind of stuff or like, things you can't find everywhere?" She asked, enthusiastically. "I guess if you're making gift baskets the prettier stuff might be nice...Or maybe a lot of simple stuff that will look good together? You don't have to worry too much about taste since it's all pretty good...Oh! Maybe a lot of different things? ...Or would stuff that tastes good together be better?"
She really didn't mean to ask so many questions, but Pilouette was so excited to actually be able to really help someone for once that she was determined to do a good job and help him figure out exactly what he needed. In fact, it was entirely possible that she was more excited than she actually should have been.

That was way too many questions to process all at once. And now he felt even more lost than he had when he stepped through the door. Everything about it just seemed complicated now.
"I mean, I'm kind of shopping for total strangers, so...I really have no idea where to start. I just want to get them something nice?"

"Well, these are pretty popular. The little cute cat-shaped ones are pretty standard chocolates and these leaf-shaped things are kind of like, a shop specialty, I guess? You can only get them here," she says, holding them out towards him. "You can try them if you want!"
