⁂ come on, try a little
Who:
rainprism &
edge_of_nothing; open [please message one of us before jumping in though! ♥]
When: [forward-dated -- past the Groundhog Day event] late morning into lunch time.
Where: Small shopping outlet, possibly the surrounding areas later. Starting out at a small cafe/deli.
Summary: Two very different individuals formally cross paths for the first time.
Warnings: Probable creeper-ing. :|a
It was almost over.
It was her biggest 'shopping day' since she'd received her first pay check there in Siren's Port -- second only to the frantic venture that was her search for appropriate winter clothing, which, thankfully, she was now able to comfortably adorn herself with. There were a few old Christmas gifts that had been undelivered, but it seemed unfair to dross those items up in red and pink wrapping paper and pass them off as presents from the upcoming holiday. Perhaps if they were supplemented -- if the thought was made more genuine ...
She'd been up since the stores were open on that day, having come to the resolute conclusion to complete all of her shopping for the event of Valentine's Day, and at last, it was time to take a breather. Of course, she'd gotten all of the easy shopping out of the way first -- basic craft supplies to decorate the house and construct festive nick-knacks, charms, and cards, which occupied the largest plastic bag sitting against the leg of her metallic table, a medium-sized, circular box that had been bagged to her right, and about two or three smaller paper bags overflowing with brightly colored tissue hanging on the angled corner of the chair she occupied.
And now ... There were only two names left on her gift list.
Aqua, cross-legged, enjoyed the sun in that warmest time of the day in her outdoor table alone, took a slow, careful sip of a frothy tea latte while scrolling mindlessly around on the NV network. Groceries last, she reasoned. I can make a quick trip home to drop these things off ... but I'll be catching the crowds at the mall afterward ...

It was the tone that led him to delay his reply. One could say it was almost vaguely nostalgic, but it disappeared into the seriousness that had been prominently showing all throughout. Still, he brushed it off easily, never missing a beat.
"That isn't a problem," Xemnas said nonchalantly. "Being in charge of a corporation allows one to take as long as they want. It can be considered...a perk."

So ... he didn't really have a superior to answer to. He was it.
That certainly alleviated that problem.
Slowly, she looked back down at her shopping bags, unaware of the time that's passed since her pause at the café.
"Even so ..." Now that she thought about it ... "... I should probably get some more shopping done while the stores are still open." There was an instant in which she looked at him as though she were considering to invite him along ... but she said nothing of the sort.

He didn't need to answer them all. Not yet. She still had other sources to go to.
Time was always an issue. He hadn't thought much of it ever since he went out, but the reminder from Aqua's own personal scheduling made him realize its passing.
"Ah. Yes." Xemnas then gestured. "If it is that important, then you should go. I will also have to return from this excursion at some point."
The NV, which had been silent all this time, puttered in disappointment to itself.

That was why Valentine's Day was so important. It was the perfect opportunity to try and repair a downed line of communication. And what better way to help an angry, stone-faced friend open up than with the gesture of gift-giving? But Terra wasn't the only person on her list. Not by a long shot. And ... after this not-such-a-chance encounter, her list got just a little bit longer.
"I should get going, too. I'm ... making up for missing Christmas this Valentine's Day, so ..."
no subject
Whether he truly understood was left a mystery.
What he didn't know was that the meeting had affected her current list in some manner. He was focused on the present for now; the results of this in the future would be discovered soon enough, thanks to the forever-curious NV.
The sunglasses were slipped back on. "We all do what we must. Gifts are gifts. Perhaps it will be worth the effort going through all the trouble of giving them." At least they could enjoy them. There was a pause as Xemnas closed his eyes for a brief moment.
"Aqua?"
Gold eyes were barely visible behind the shades, his face in profile as he canted his head ever so slightly.
"...Enjoy your holiday."
