"Great. Thanks. Let's go." He got up off the couch, adjusted the hood, and went towards the door. "Sure, but if he doesn't, draw on his face for me." Then he disappeared with Anndrea.

"Sure. Lets go with that." She watched as the two of them left the apartment, and immediately leaped up from the couch once they were a few feet away.

"So...What did you really want to do?" Anndrea asked.

2015-06-24 10:47:42

"I figured we could get Christmas presents for Terezi. Plus you know what she likes."

2015-06-24 10:48:53

●

"That is a wonderful idea, but what do you have in mind?"

2015-06-24 10:49:49

🌀

"A, uh, promise ring. I've been saving up for a while."

2015-06-24 10:51:49

●

"Since she left, I'm guessing?"

2015-06-24 10:52:36

🌀

"Well, yeah. And maybe a little before that."

2015-06-24 10:53:07

●

"I see. Well Terezi is a very big fan of rubies, but she really hates gold things."

2015-06-24 10:53:58

🌀

He laughed a little. "Wow, that's specific. Glad I brought you along."

2015-06-24 10:54:38

●

She smiled. "I've been inside Terezi's mind for centuries, I would be a really terrible angel if I did not know these things."

2015-06-24 10:55:53

🌀

A terrible angel for not knowing her charge, huh. Well, he guessed if there was /one/ thing Seculus did do right, it was knowing him. No. Don't even think about him right now. This is for Terezi, and he doesn't want to be pissed off while shopping for her. "Okay, I know a nice store where I can get a ring. Do you have any idea what you want to get her?"

2015-06-24 10:58:31

●

"A sketchbook." She decided on. "She used to be quite the artist, but stopped because Spyders was becoming too much of a handful for her. I really do think she would enjoy getting into drawing again."

2015-06-24 11:01:05

🌀

"Oh, right, she mentioned that when you were passed out. That sounds great. I think they have some nice ones at Walgreen's, and maybe we can get her some sewing stuff while we're there."

2015-06-24 11:02:21

●

"I honestly think it will help take her mind off things. Both the drawing and the sewing."

2015-06-24 11:05:46

🌀

"Yeah. She'll like it. At least I hope so." They started heading for Walgreen's as the sun set and arrived without being assaulted, surprisingly.

2015-06-24 11:06:52

●

"I am certain she will like any gift she is given." No one attacking them. Well that was a nice surprise.

The automatic doors slid open and he waved at Zane as they entered. Zane waved back, cocking an eyebrow. "Isn't that Terezi's sweater?" Wow, this thing really was her defining characteristic. "Yeah, she lent it to me." "How did you fare after last night?" "...that's why I have the sweater." "Ah." "How about you?" "...um...sure." "That's not really an answer, but okay." He noted that Zane turned a little red as he muttered his non-answer. Damn, he must be some kind of crazy drunk. "Do you know where the sketchbooks are?" He pointed at an aisle on the end. "Thanks." Tassek started moving that direction and Zane resumed setting out candy at the register, blush fading.

Anndrea gave him one last look as they both moved to the isle. What was up with him? Guess he had one eventful night. Where did he go, however? She did not remember seeing him leaving. Did Cale help him home? She looked forward again.

2015-06-24 11:19:14

🌀

He gestured to the row of sketchbooks and looked at Anndrea. "Okay, so, you pick out something you think she'd like. I'll go check out the sewing stuff."

2015-06-24 11:25:17

●

"Alright. I shall do that." Her gaze went to the sketchbooks. Which one should she get? Well, her eyes went to one with rather thick pages. She picked it up. 200 pages? That seems reasonable. She got that one.

2015-06-24 11:27:45

🌀

Tassek grabbed some different-colored threads, new needles, a pincushion, and new scissors. Those should work, right? He wasn't exactly in the know about the latest sewing trends. When they were both done he took the stuff up to the counter and Zane rang it up. "...for Terezi?" "Yeah. Christmas. How'd you guess?" "You forget, technically speaking I have known her longer than you." "Oh, I guess that's true." He handed them the receipt and the bag with their purchases. "Thanks." "No, thank you for shopping here." "Uh, sure. No problem?" "Have a nice day." Wow, he must be in work mode. As if it was any friendlier than normal, just more professional.

Anndrea exited the walgreens with Tassek. Yes, she stayed silent, but what more was there to say. He seemed happy. Good for him. "So, now the jewelery store?"

2015-06-24 11:40:42

🌀

"Yep. It's just down the street." They went over and inside, and he immediately started looking through the cases near the door for the perfect ring. Rubies, no gold. Got it.

2015-06-24 11:42:29

●

"Terezi has very small fingers, so please keep that in mind as well." She spoke as they went inside. She looked at the cases as well, rings can't be too hard, can they?

2015-06-24 23:14:48

🌀

"Okay. I'll see if I can find something in her size." Too big. Too ornate. Too gold. Too /expensive./ Oh, wait. Here was a nice one. With a ruby heart and little diamonds, or artificial ones at least. He asked the jeweler what the smallest size was for this and judged it to be small enough. Then he pulled out a debit card and bought it, sliding the small box into the pocket of his hoodie.
