Mathias
I sat in my cuckoo-clock workshop, crafting away, when I heard a knock at the door.
"Oh, Mathias!" Came Francis' sing-song voice.
"Ugh… What? Why are you even here?"
"You need a day off."
"I can't take a day off. I have cuckoos to carve."
"A friend owes me a favor. You're fine." He pulled his friend into the doorway. "You know Ludwig. He's good at making cuckoo-clocks. He'll take over today's work. You're not allowed to say no. Come on." He then proceeded to grab me by the sleeve and drag me out of my workshop. He's surprisingly strong.
"Where are we going?"
"I'm taking you shopping. You need to relax."
"Cuckoos are relaxing…"
"No, they're annoying. Now enjoy your shopping time with me." He dragged me into a few stores, but I found nothing that I liked. Francis, however, found a few things that he thought would look good on me. He bought them.
"How long do we have to do this?"
"Until you relax."
"That's not going to happen."
"Fine, we'll take a break. Let's go to the food court. I'll buy us something yummy."
"Um…" It was no use. I went with him to the food court. Francis took me to La Bella Via, and waved to the man behind the counter.
"New toy, Francis?"
"Non, non. This is just my friend, Mathias."
"Toy?" I asked.
"Antonio likes to joke. It's probably from hanging around Lovino and Felli so much."
"Ah." This was going to be a long day...
