Twenty-Seven Spools of Thread-[Action]

[Thanks to the help of one Minato Arisato, the front of All Passions is now decorated with a bunch of garland and fake snowflakes and such. Sitting on the porch is a large tree (where Shiki got it from...don't ask) decorated with brightly-colored ornaments and standing on her ladder is Shiki herself.

Today's she's busy hanging up a new sign in the front window.

Now taking special orders for Christmas.

Dare you say anything?]

A passionate designer, then. I'm afraid I don't have anything to offer as a "small favor." [He selects a blue and white sweater, then looks around for other things. Perhaps a scarf and hat? ...The Professor did tend to get sick.] May I ask where you keep your scarves and hats?

[Starts heading to another section of the store, waving for Albert to follow.] I guess you can say that. It's something I love to do, and this is good practice anyway. Don't worry about repaying me or anything though.

[And he'll follow right after her.] You provide a service that many wouldn't think of. It's natural to want to give you something for what you do. [But he also understands the lack of repayment.] I'm sure your work pleases many residents.

I hope so. I try to make everybody happy, anyway. [She stops in front of her section of hats and scarves and gloves too.] It's just something I love to do.

[With a brief nod in thanks, Albert continues looking. What kind of hat? What kind of scarf? ...Why is he doing this again?

He selects a cream-colored scarf and winter bonnet/hat, then picks up some matching gloves after a moment.] I believe that's all I need.

[Don't mind Shiki, she's just being nosy and making sure that what Albert picked out actually will look good for the Sage siblings. With an approving nod, she just smiles again.] I think you made a good choice.

Let's hope they approve when they come back. [He'll manage a smirk, and then head back towards the front of the store.]

Let me know how that goes. [Shiki's just going to watch him head toward the door.] Good luck.

Thank you. [And off he goes. He'll come back another day to drop off his coat.]
