Damien enjoyed this time of year for one reason. With the sun setting earlier, he was able to venture out of the house sooner. So, around 4:30 or so, he rose and took a shower. Afterwards, he tugged on his normal attire of all black and a boots then left the house to stretch his legs.
Given the weather was colder, there were far less people out and Damien enjoyed the relative silence as he made his way down the street, puffing on a cigarette. In fact, he'd just taken his final puff when he spotted the local gelato shop and, for the first time ever, the sight gave him pause.
Perhaps he would treat Alyssa to some Gelato. Sure, it was cold, but it was the kind of weirdness she would enjoy. Gelato even though it was winter and most people gravitated towards warm things. Which was probably why the young woman in the counter was currently free to sample the offerings.
Damien put out his cigarette and made his way over, opening the door and stepping inside. Despite being busy clearly tasting the product, the young woman welcomed him quickly. Impressive. At least her mouth wasn't full of gelato when she did it. Damien's blue eyes swept the contents of the case.
"Do you have a special flavor of the month? You know, for all the holiday shit going on?" He asked nonchalantly. No, Damien didn't much care for Christmas or any holiday really. Somehow he managed to keep the disdain from his voice.
