WHO: Julian Blackthorn and OPEN WHAT: Looking for a Christmas present for Emma WHEN: Wednesday WHERE: Downtown, gifts that last WARNINGS: TBD, probably not STATUS: Closed/Ongoing
Having arrived on Christmas Eve, Julian had been entirely unable to buy a Christmas present for Emma. It was the first time in his life that he hadn't, and he felt terrible about it. It didn't matter that he'd already bought her gift back home, months before Christmas. He didn't have it here now, and he'd had nothing to give her yesterday. He didn't like that feeling.
Today, he was determined to find her something. It might have been a day late, but it was better than nothing. He didn't want to spend all of their money, but things didn't have to be expensive to be meaningful and appreciated. He'd worked several hours on their budget before going out, and knew exactly what he had to spend.
He wandered from store to store, looking at various things and not finding anything that particularly stood out. Finally, he ended up at Gifts that Last. He wasn't really the sort to gift jewelry, but this place had some very unique sorts of things. A lot of them were mundane 'spirituality', but some of them were also very pretty. He walked around, looking from case to case, his expression serious.
