Who: Gilbert Nightray & open!
When: All day on the 7th
Where: Funtom Bakery
Summary: Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and a neutral business is doing their part to make sure that people enjoy the most important part of the holiday: THE PIES. Come get a free pie.
Warnings: Warning for cavities. No really, brush your teeth after eating, kids.

This is Gilbert's third time witnessing this modern holiday in Siren's Port. It's a different sort of tradition than his own world's celebration of welcoming in the harvest with a large feast, but then, there's nothing in this world that mirrors his own when it comes to holiday and tradition. Still, he and Funtom are doing their part to promote charity and goodwill by offering a free pumpkin pie ('One per customer, please!' proclaims a sign on the counter with a childish sketch of a happy black rabbit sitting in a teacup.) to complete your meal tomorrow evening!

Come in and get your free pie, sit down and enjoy tea and pastries, or just come in to bother the baker as he moves from the kitchen to the front counter to help pass them out.

Oh, if it's okay with you and Oz, sure! I bet Fakir would like it more than I would, though.

He likes stories like that?

I'm pretty sure he likes all kinds of stories, as long as they're happy. I mean, he writes, so...

Ah, that's right. I think you said that before.

What does he write about?

Well, different things, just as long as they had good endings.

The books that Oz liked back home...they always had tragic endings.

[He shakes his head.]

But - he liked happy endings too. Maybe the two of them should read together more, I'm sure he'd like someone to discuss books with.

He liked stuff like that? Didn't it ever make him sad?

Oh, yeah! I think that'd be good for both of them.

Mm. Maybe.

[But the sadness that he gets reading a book is different than the sadness he feels for the world around him. Though he refrains from saying this, because for Ahiru, a lot of that is one and the same.]

Do you think Fakir would enjoy that at all?

Probably not, but he should do it anyways.

Oh? Why do you say that?

Like... He's not very social, but I think he should have friends and do stuff with people anyways!

[He smiles.]

Oz is the opposite type of personality...he's happy to speak to anyone.

Yeah. They're both good people, just... Really different, I guess.

[He's the better one, but Gilbert doesn't add that.]

Mm. We're complete opposites in most ways.

You and Oz, you mean?

Yeah. Our personalities are different, but...the important parts are the same. Or maybe just...compatible?

I can see parts that are definitely the same!

Like what?

Well, you're both very kind people.

[He'd protest, but he knows he'll just get yelled at.]

That's about it, though.

Well, no, not really!

Our taste in food is different...our idea of a fun outing, our sense of humor, our mannerisms, our complexions...

[He can go on.]

But you're both brave and generous, too.

Hm...

[He's actually going to...stop and consider that.]

Hm?
