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.

"Do you have any drinks or little gift baskets or anything?" he asks, glancing around as he takes the box from her.
no subject
"These are probably easier than baskets, anyway. And they're pretty cute, too! Altogether, I'm sure it'll totally go over great with whoever you're getting them for!" She's genuinely excited to have been able to help him out with this. Given the time of year and the holiday, even if the holiday isn't one native to Saeng Seong, suddenly her job feels just the teeniest bit more meaningful. Just a bit.

"I hope so," he replies with a small smile, taking a box of the leaf wafers off a shelf and placing both boxes on the counter. "Can I get a couple of those bags, then?"
no subject
She smiles as she said this. Christmas was such a big deal for her back home that she can't help but think she would have been a little sad otherwise.
no subject
It was a little comforting to have so many people around celebrating it. It made the city feel more like home to him. But after paying and putting his card back in his wallet, he realizes there's something he wants to know for planning purposes...
"By the way, what are you doing on Christmas?"
no subject
"To be honest, um, I don't really have any plans," she replies. She knows it probably sounds kind of sad, but she's trying to sound as casual about it as she can. "I mean, I don't want to like, intrude on anyone's celebrating or anything. B-Besides, since Christmas isn't a native holiday here, I'll probably be like, working anyway...!"

It might be a little hard to distribute presents to friends if he doesn't know where they'll be.
no subject
"Oh, like, totally! I'll like, be sure to give you a heads up," she says, nodding and makes a mental note to stop by with his gift after work. Pilouette holds the bag towards him. "Anything I can give you a hand with?"
no subject
He pulls on his jacket collar and scarf for a moment to make sure he's ready for the cold, then smiles at her. "Well, I think I'm going to head out, but I'll see you on Christmas if I don't find you before then."
no subject
"Okay, then! Like, be seeing you!"
