As you and Furlan push open the wooden door to the gift shop, the gush of winter breeze rattles the wind chime hung up by the entrance.

*Jingle jingle*

"Hello there!"the middle aged woman wearing a dark grey turtle neck with long flowery dress over it and on top she had a worn out green apron pinned with various festive christmas decorations.

You smile at the woman at the counter as she comes over, Furlan's cheeks got a bit rosy from the winter wind, as his big grey eyes awe at all the decorations and sparkling wrapping papers lined up against the walls, and shelves of gifts  displayed in rows that reach the other end of the gift store.

"Shopping for Christmas?" the woman chimes happily.

"Yes." you reply.

"Anything particular you're looking for?" the woman asks.

"We're looking for a gift for.." before you could finish,
Furlan says, "for papa!"

The woman chuckles at Furlan's enthusiasm as he wiggles in your arms, "Mommy, I wan to see!" Furlan points toward the direction with all the toys.

"Okay, hold on." you say and as soon as you put him down, Furlan runs to the toys section. You walk after him, as you eye the surrounding carefully. This place is bigger than you expected with only one floor packed with tons of gifts. You stand close to where Furlan is, as you look around the display. Letting Furlan have his freedom in looking around but still keeping an eye of him.

"I presume you're looking for a gift for your husband as well?" the woman asks.

"I am. But I'm not sure what to get him."  you say.

In your head you were thinking really hard,
" A Cravat? He only wears white cravat, and pretty sure he has a lot of them..
A tie?  but he doesn't wear one.."

You look at the woman 
who still has a cheerful smile on her face, she says, "Well to start us off. What are his hobbies?"

In your mind you said, "He loves to clean."

But you reply, "He loves tea and hopes to open a tea shop one day."

The woman smiles warmly, "Hmm, that sounds quite nice, compared to what's going on out there." The woman suddenly looking a bit gloomy with a sigh, "I hope one day, its gruesome just thinking about it that we can live our lives at peace."

You put your hand on the woman's shoulder, "We're looking into it."

The woman's eyes lite up, "You're looking into it? Does that mean.."

You smile warmly at her, "I'm part the Survey Corps, finally going back tomorrow because of the little one" You peek over at Furlan who's still mesmerized by all the things he can chose from.

The woman holds one of your hand with both of her warm hands clasps onto it. "Bless you, child. I hope it will come to an end."

"I hope so too." you squeeze her hands lightly in yours. As she wipes up a tear from the corner of her eye.

"Oh god, what am I doing. It's almost Christmas and here I am shedding a tear and talking about those man eating giants." The woman slips her hands off yours and claps her hands together with a cheerful smile, "Let's quickly pick out your gifts, shall we?" the woman says, sounding cheerful once more.

"Yes, let's." you smile back warmly at her.

The woman lead you around, while Furlan hangs out with another gift shop staff, since he had secretly finish picking out the little things he wanted. Which you gave him the choice to pick out 2 items under a budget of a silver coin enough to buy two things. Chosen under the supervision of the gift shop staff, which he is hanging out with at the moment.
