[Candy and treats and something called Christmas? Well, despite how she was only just playing with her device to get a handle on it, this post has her attention now. So on goes the feed!]
Christmas is an Earth holiday. Maybe they don't celebrate it on your world? I only learned about it myself when I came to the City.
Some of the candy we carry is bitter, because some people prefer bitter chocolate to the sweet kind. But, most of the things we carry are sweet. I prefer the sweet kind myself.
Sweets are definitely a large part of it, but mostly Christmas is supposed to be a time when you show other people how much you appreciate them by giving them a gift.
[Not that she knows what Christmas is, or why it's tradition includes building houses made of candy, but passing by, Tear can't help but stop and peek into the candy shop(pe)'s windows.]
[Eagle smiles at the young lady peering so deeply into the front window. The shop was open so if she wanted to come on in she would be more than welcome. Hopefully, the smile would be enough to convince her of that and if not... maybe the delicious looking candy on display would be enticing enough.]
[Eventually, with a look to either side to make sure nobody who knows her is around, Tear dips into the candy shop. She had to see the tiny houses up close - the little gumdrop bushes out front were just too cute...]
[Little did she expect the gigantic castle made of cookies inside. It's. So intricate. So tiny. Like a delicious doll house.]
[And in pacing around the gingerbread mansion, caught up in examining the fine little details and - were those tiny people inside the windows - she completely misses the smiling man also in the store.]
[It was fine if she didn't notice him. Most people went straight for the sweets anyway. She did seem to be enjoying staring at the gingerbread castle though! It was pretty cute to watch her expression! That same awe-filled look had been on many a visitor's face when they had looked through the windows at the finer details. Who knew you could make icing look like lace and curtains? It really had been impressive work on the baker's part.
So, for a time Eagle went back to what he was doing, ringing out a few of the other customers who had already picked out a couple of tasty treats. When they had gathered their packages and left, that was when he looked back towards the girl. Still standing there? Well, hi might as well walk over and say hello. ]
I did. I was surprised to find out about these, but apparently on Earth they make these little houses out of cookies and candy. I am not really sure why... but they are cute.
