Ziare had seen a man walk by in a tan coat out of the corner of her eye but had paid little attention as many people walked past the window. But suddenly he tripped sending himself flying through the door and under an empty table next to them. She fought back a laugh when she realized it was Eldran, maybe one day he would be given grace.
"Well I see I'm not the only one out and about. How's it going Ziare?" he said warmly trying to get up. Ziare smiled and actually giggled this time.
"Well it's going just fine today Eldran, and yourself?" Ziare turned to Talbot who she didn't think had actually met Eldran yet.
"Talbot this is Eldran we met several days ago." she said introducing them.
"Eldran this is Talbot my best friend and psuedo sister." she said laughing.

Eldran was rubbing the place where the chair had hit him. "We already met. Sort of..."
Eldran made a sort of comical face as he winced while trying to get comfortable while sipping the mug of hot chocolate. "She didn't have to shove the chair *that* hard."
Getting comfortable almost immediately after that, he settled in. "May I ask what you are doing out?"

Talbot smirked slighty at Eldran, and took a sip of her drink, then looked out the window. "We're christmas shopping today."
She sounded sullen, her thoughts had wandered away and she was watching the people in the streets. So many of them- she had thought the college was a culture shock- this city was twice that. But right now she was wondering what to get everyone- now with Eldran on her list as well. She would have to spend twiice as many hours making the candy now but that wasn't a problem- the ones for the winter season were special.

"Mmmhm." Ziare said with a bright smile on her face. "Christmas shopping of course. So many gifts to buy so little time." she said laughing.
Despite her already being overly hyper active she had now consumed a year's worth of sugar in the matter of a few moments and it was only adding to it.
"Have you bought all your presents yet, Eldran?" Ziare asked almost bouncing in her seat.

Eldran's expression went thoughtful as he did some mental calculations in head and then looked at his watch to confirm them. He shrugged and his face went a little guilty and and embarrased.
"I really don't know what to get people other than my family. My family always just exchanged books and I did artwork for them when I was old enough before I came here. They have the peices I have when I was a child."
He looked around, more than a little abashed.

Talbot looked up for a moment, "You should come with Eldran- I believe there are plenty of shops around here with art supplies. You could always make them new projects."
But she slipped back into her lost expression almost as quickly as she had slipped out. Her gray eye focusing on the outside as small green flecks filtered in and out of the gray of her eyes.

Eldran grinned and shook his head and laughed a little and grinned some more.
"Nah, maybe this year, I'll try and actually buy presents, since I've never done it. Though I ...uh... really have ..uh.. no idea how ...uh... to go about picking them out. I'd appreciate if you two would help me out."
Now he looked really embarrassed.

Ziare laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"No worries, Eldran why do you think I brought Talbot along. We all need help and opinions. I'll help you no problem." she said smiling and drinking more of her cocco.

Eldran grinned as he sipped his hot chocolate, thinking. Not paying attention, cost him. After he set the hot liquid down (though it had somewhat cooled to a manageable temperature by now), he was swallowing mid-thought, and he half-choked on it, and his chair, fell over on its back as the liquid spewed out of his mouth and nose.
His body was practically was so woozy, it was practically made of jelly as he tried to stand up.
As he plunked into his chair like a peice of jelly,"I ...uh..uh.... think...I'll ...tt..tt.ake..you..you.rr'ee.... help."

Ziare laughed she couldn't help it he was cute in the funny sort of way. He had become one of her best friends in a short time.
"All right then, as soon as we're done we'll all head out together." she said drinking the last of her hot chocolate.

((OOC:sorry for the late reply- I've been seriously swamped))
Talbot looked over at Eldran, shook her head, "I think I'm going to make you some luck manipulation candy so you don't get hurt so much."
She finished her cocoa- no longer staring out at the street and smiled broadly "We're going to have a busy day and this place has so many shops- well let's all be glad it's close to the school just in case we have to come back tomorrow!"
She was feeling better, the relaization of shopping and getting to know more people a thrill from her lonely life of not having anyone. Looking at her sister, her sister- what a great feeling- Talbot grinned, "I bet no one will even expect us to give gifts with how busy it is!"

Eldran grinned at Talbot's comment about the luck manipulation candy and laughed wholeheartedly.
"I think you'd have to mix in something to make me less clumsy and more more aware as well."
He grinned widely as he got up, and nearly fell down as he pulled out his wallet to check how much money he had in cash. Thumbing through it, he was satisfied, and he put it back.
"I should have enough for gifts, though what I'm buying I have no idea. Who I'm buying them for, well, it's pretty obvious."
He gave the sort of comical frowning look that said, "You two already know who."

"We do?" Ziare asked playfully giving Eldran a funny smile.
She stood up and left a tip on the table.
"Are we ready then? I sure am!" she was completely hyper and way too excited but it was going to be a fun day.

Standing up, Talbot walked to the door, "C'mon. C'mon! We've got lots to do!"
