[The much-mellowed out thief is ringing up her adopted daughter teammate on the phone.]

Need any company?

[magique_bonbon]

Ah, Lobelia!

Of course! Actually, I just finished baking a pie- you'd be just in time. [And no, she's not leaving it out on the windowsill to cool. Again.]

[Action]

[demon_of_paris]

I'll be right over then.

[Sure enough, a bit later there's a rapid knock on the door.]

[Action]

[magique_bonbon]

Coming!

[And Coquelicot answers with a smile on her face though she's still looking up at Lobelia because she's not SUPER TALL]

Hi, Lobelia! Come on in, come on in- it's been getting chillier lately, hasn't it?

[sacred_thunder]

[And here comes Ky, with a couple of bags in his hands.]

Out shopping? I just finished, myself.

[magique_bonbon]

Ah... good afternoon, Ky.

Presents for the kids, or...?

[sacred_thunder]

For all of my friends here. There's something in here for you, too.

[magique_bonbon]

Really? Well, don't go spoiling the surprise. You know me- I'd rather wait until Christmas Day to find out.

How have things been going for you?

[im_not_the_sun]

It's the holidays here that I particularly hate.

[Sanzo has walked up behind you and started talking, without so much as an introduction. He was probably standing around smoking before that. Lung cancer will get the better of him before this place does.]

You shouldn't be walking the streets alone. Where's that idiot husband of yours?

[magique_bonbon]

[She's totally used to both the smoke and the sudden appearance by now, so she just turns and smiles at Sanzo.]

Tamaki's off visiting his friends from home. I'll be okay, though- I've walked this same road for years now. And you know I can use my tricks to take care of myself.

[im_not_the_sun]

Hmpf. Fine time for him to take off.

[Anyway, he won't argue with you. He knows that you're more than capable of taking care of yourself. He just doesn't like seeing you alone.]

Where are you going?

[magique_bonbon]

Just up to the store to get my Christmas shopping done. I was meaning to start earlier, but...

ugh sorry so late also too lazy to find icons

[dramakingsuoh]

Have you been shopping already?

Don't worry about it! o/ And- timing this to before her talk with Lobelia if that's okay? 8D;;

[magique_bonbon]

Ah, Tamaki! Actually, I just got back.

no prob

[dramakingsuoh]

Well, that's a pity, though I suppose it gives me more time to seek a gift for you. If only it were possible to find something that could match your beauty.

[magique_bonbon]

[She's used to this after the past few years! ... mostly.] ... h-honestly, you haven't changed a bit, have you?

FILENAME heeee

[ex_giita]

Co-chan! Did you get me anything? Oh! Are you making anything? Can I have a taste? [Not that there's anything new to expect, but FOOD IS STILL FOOD.]

Such an easier-to-type nickname XD

[magique_bonbon]

[Oh Yui. Never change.]

... ah, Yui! I already have your present, but you'll have to wait until Christmas Day to find out what it is.

How did you- [Right, Yui ALWAYS seems to know whenever she's baking something though that's also because she probably asks this question every time they speak around this time of year] Pumpkin pie, actually! You know you're always welcome to stop by.

1/2

[ex_giita]

[Why of course, YUI SENSES ARE ALWAYS TINGLING. ALWAYS.]

Aww! Can't I have a little peek? A hint? Oh, I know! I'll come over right now!

[hangs up]

[ex_giita]

[But she gets... kind of lost on the way there ahaha. Yes, after living in Mayfield for ten whole years.]

[She rings Coquelicot's doorbell. If she answers it, she will see a young woman at the age of twenty-seven looking at her shoes and twiddling with her fingers sheepishly.]

U, um, excuse me, but do you know where Co-chan lives?
