She bought a white-fringed shawl for her sister and a pair of army boots for her brother in the first store we ducked into, had them wrapped in plain brown paper in the second, then proceeded to clump around behind me for another two hours. Finally I sent her off to buy something for Ama Clutch while I bought her present. She protested to both, saying she didn't have any money left and that she didn't need anything from me. She got so vexing that I finally gave her a couple coins and ran off, calling that I'd meet her back at Craig Hall.
When I got back she was in bed again, buried in blankets up to her nose and a book in front of her face. Evidently she was unused to Gillikin winters. Three bags were shoved up beside her bedside table and she was idling eating an apple as she read. She looked so cozy and comfortable while my feet hurt and my hands had red lines running all over them from my bag's handles.
"Oh, you!" I snapped, flouncing in and dropped my bags on the ground.
She looked up at me with her dark eyes, "Yes?"
"You are the... most..." I sighed. "Never mind." She turned back to her book, and I began to unload my bags on my bed. "Are you going to be around tomorrow?" I asked hesitantly.
"Why?" She asked, looking up.
"I've invited Shenshen and Pfannee to come up for Lurlinemas Eve brunch before they leave." I said, awkwardly playing with one of the green and gold packages.
"I'll be in the library until after lunch," she said, hiding behind her book again.
