Who: Shion/Xion and you!
What: WARKING. WARK WARK WARK. Also known as Shion doesn't have a social life lately. This needs to change badly.
When: Monday evening.
Where: Her part-time job at the ice cream shop!

It'd been a while since she'd touched her notebook. Of course-- some of it had had to do with her course work. And some of it with where she was at now. Summer jobs. Gotta love 'em. Or maybe not. But it was a good distraction. And okay for the most part. Save when the crazy kids made a mess of everything with their sticky fingers and their sugar rush antics. But there were perks to it, too. Like, you know. Free ice cream. And relatively happy customers. And was "good distraction" mentioned in that before? Ah, let's just list it again.

Only that was... really the thing that day. Because all that being said and done, it was only a good distraction if there were actually customers around. Which there.... weren't at the moment. Keeping busy in other ways could only go so far. Could only wipe down the counters, tables, and cases so many times before that got mundane and who knew when was the last time those windows got a good cleaning? Yeah... She wasn't about to touch those. But with some much time to kill yet...

She took a good look around back and forth to see if her co-worker was looking before starting to doodle onto the condensation of the case...

It had, incidentally, been some time since Winter had sated her sweet tooth - call it childish, but she liked ice cream. With everything that had been happening lately, she just wanted to take a break from all of this weird business. And what better way than to get an ice cream cone and relax for an afternoon, maybe with a book that didn't give her weird memories and the ability to selectively speak languages she didn't understand?

With that somewhat random thought in her head, Winter found herself peering into the windows of the ice cream parlor, Raquel held in her arms, a small bag hanging from her shoulder, and a look of curiosity on her face.

You know that feeling you get when you feel like someone's... watching you? Yeah, that was exactly the hunch that Shion got after a moment. Of course, she had been kinda... paranoid lately, too, so she'd been trying to ignore it. But eventually, she could resist no more. Her gaze cast upwards to the empty shop, lingering over the small assortment of tables... before trailing over to the big windows.

It was there that she spotted a girl staring in. Not particularly at her which was a relief, but... hm... And she was holding a stuffed animal? Little bit old to be carrying one of those around? (Shh. She totally doesn't own some still.) But whatever made her happy, Shion supposed. Still, maybe she... Shion finally scooted around the counter, crossing through to the door. She opened it carefully so as not to smack the girl outside with it before beckoning, "Uh... We're still open. Just a little dead."

[peacefulwinter]

Just the opening of the door seemed to startle Winter a little bit, but she recovered quickly, trying to smile. "O-oh! I just... wasn't sure, so I t-thought I'd look inside."

With the door being held open, she scooted inside quickly, sighing, and taking a long look at the coolers - what kind of ice cream to get...? Along the way, though, she glanced at the girl that was working the shop - she wasn't sure she remembered this girl, though not having been here for a little while might have helped with that.

Well, someone was certainly uneasy. Maybe she, herself, was being a bit too forward? All the same, after letting Winter in, she started back to the counter. It wasn't without another pause though.

"Are you.. new around here?" Not to... you know. Be rude. But she couldn't help but feel like she was getting that vibe.

[peacefulwinter]

"No... I just... don't really g-go out a whole lot, and I tend n-not to get ice cream when it's cold, so..."

She spends a long moment looking around from inside, observing that everything seemed to shine, and the fading designs in the cooler condensation.

"Has it... been slow today?"

[memoryreprieved]

"Slower than I thought it'd be. I guess there's a lot more to do around this city than I thought?" Shion shrugged to herself as she finally reached the other side of the counter. She stood for a moment there as she looked around before leaning forward on it.

"You don't really go out a lot though? Just don't like the summer heat?" Really, she wouldn't blame the girl. Good gods, the humidity!
