It was three days before Christmas, and Mary was out trying to find something for her grandmother. She'd been so busy with school and finals that she'd completely forgotten about shopping for her. Mary didn't want her to actually know she'd forgotten, so she was in the boutique store in the Destiny City mall (probably one of many but she knew her grandmother liked to shop at that specific one) looking for things she would like.
And having no luck whatsoever.
This was probably because her grandmother, bless her heart, had almost every nik-knack you could probably. Mary sighed as she circled the store for the uptinth time, not finding anything that struck her fancy. And while the shop was not as gutted as it could have been, it still was looking a bit baren.
"I'm never going to find anything... am I?" she muttered quietly to herself.

Christmas shopping for people was hard, especially when you actually cared what the person wanted. Nicolae wasn’t used to having those types of ‘caring’ feelings, so when he left his apartment intent on looking for a gift to give to his girlfriend, well…he had no base line to start from. Of course it didn’t help in the slightest that all she had mentioned wanting was him, she already had him, and much to his discomfort, he wasn’t going anywhere, even though being tied down was still a very difficult thing to come to terms with.
Upon entering a stupid little boutique store, he spotted someone who seemed to be as lost as he did. Well. Maybe they could help one another find that awesome gift. Or, maybe he could just get help from a girl. Girls knew what other girls liked, after all.
“Hey, you. Blondie.” He reached out and put a hand on her shoulder. “If you had a girlfriend, what would you get her for Christmas? You should know these things. Since you know. You’re a girl. What would you want for Christmas?”

The voice startled Mary so much, she collided head first with an low lying chandelier. She winced loudly and brought both her hands up to hold her head, checking for blood.
"A-ah... wh-what?" she stammered. The girlfriend comment startled her the most, bringing a rush of color into her face. Not that Raven ever felt like that about her, but... cough. She blinked at him, lilac eyes slowly shrinking to their normal size. Mary looked at him, something reminding her of someone she knew. Or used to know. She couldn't quite put her finger on it though.
"Ah... well I don't think I'm the best person to ask. I'm a bit on the "mental" side of things according to my mother. But, hmm does she have any favorite animals? Could always get her a plush toy. Or jewelry she likes," said Mary with a kind smile. Her shoulders ruffled as she thought. "There's always just taking her out to dinner. I'd personally want a book on storytelling or art of my otherki-- my main roleplaying character, Argabauth. Again, I'm a bit 'mental'."
Mary giggled, a small spark of childlike amusement shining through for a moment. "You don't know what to get an eclectic grandmother who already seems to have everything do you?"

Nicolae winced as the girl hit her head, but then just blinked at her. Damn, she looked familiar…but he wasn’t quite sure he could place a finger on just where he knew her from…It was a long ago time. Or something. Eh. It didn’t matter much to him, and he was sure that he would figure the mystery out eventually.
After listening to all of the girls suggestions, he shook his head. “I don’t know. I don’t know what jewelry she likes…or what animals she likes. She’s not…” He paused. “Truth is I don’t really know much about her, I guess. Maybe I’ll just cook her a nice dinner or something fancy like that. Girls like dinners, right?” He gave a shrug, answering himself.
“As for your grandmother? Why not get her some tea? Old people normally like tea, don’t they? It calms them down and lets them sleep and all that jazz…But sleeping pills do that too, I suppose.”
He thought for a moment. “Does she like prune juice?”

She smiled, a childlike expression of amusement showing through on her face for a moment. "Dinner is always a good option!" Mary giggled a little and looked through the items in the shop for a little while.
"No, she has enough of that. Hm... she does like tea though! And maybe some sort of little jewelry box too! Thanks!" she said with that same childlike amusement. She bounced a little in excitement.
"Oh I'm Mary, by the way!"

Nicolae blinked, then laughed. “Tea is cool, and good, I’m glad I helped!” He watched the girl for a long moment then hesitated. “Mary, huh?”
The male hesitated, then held out a hand. “Nicolae. You know. I’ve been staring at you and you look really familiar to me…and…well. I had a cousin named Mary. She was kind of strange…and. I don’t know. Maybe you’re her? I haven’t seen her in years and years.” He shrugged. “Wow. Now I’m just sounding like one grade A creep, aren’t I?”
Shaking his head, the blonde sighed. “Forget it. Again, I’m glad I could help you with your Grandmother’s gift, and thanks for the advice on my girlfriend’s gift.”
