Sorry for the delay. Been busy with dental work and extreme heat.
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Francoeur was at the shopping center with Emile. The cabaret was closed for the day to fix loose boards on the stage. The theater, similarly was having some of the more worn chairs replaced.
Emile wanted to do some shopping for a gift for Maude's upcoming birthday, and didn't mind taking Francoeur off of Lucille's hair. Besides, Emile felt safer with Francoeur nearby, considering the last time he bought something of great value he got mugged and almost lost it.
Francoeur always enjoyed hanging with his friends, and didn't get out of the cabaret very often. Many of the patrons greeted him pleasantly, recognizing him from the posters, and the shows. He smiled and waved back at all that he could, not wanting to ignore a single person.
The two entered a jewelry shop. Francoeur was amazed at all the shiny baubles. Emile went off looking at the various pendants, trying to decide which would suit his girlfriend best.
Francoeur was investigating he large variety of different earrings. Perhaps he should get something for Lucille as well? Her birthday had not only passed months ago, but it also was not a happy day. It was decided. It may not be Lucille's birthday, but ahe still should get a gift.
Francoeur's eyes landed on a pair of pale green droplet earrings on display. They were a similar shade to Lucille's eyes! They were also much different than many of the other earrings Lucille had. All of here's were kinds that attached directly to her ears. These however, appeared as if they would hang OFF of them.
The shopkeeper indicated the price of the set, and Francoeur pulled out some of his own earnings from the cabaret; unsure still of the value of these small bits of paper. Luckily Emile had come over with his choice, and told Francoeur which papers would pay for the earings. The shop keeper wrapped both gifts for the gentlemen and they bid him adeu. They made their way back to the Rare Bird, where they would meet their respected lady friends and give their gifts.
I don't think I originally meant this to be dialogueless... It just ended up that way. hopefully ill start posting more if my muse cooperates/
I had a pic of the earings I picked out but my computer died taking the bookmark. In my head they are mAde of a jade kind of raindrop shape. So definatly perfect of how Francoeur feels!
Emile's gift I never gave a thought what he'd be getting, so use your imagination lol.
