Liam was off today, which was rare, he didn't have any duties at the orphanage and he didn't have classes either. He was free to do whatever he wanted, and with whatever limited funds he had, he just didn't know what to do. It wasn't uncommon for him to not know what to do, he rarely ever had a clue really, he wasn't much for social things.
He had, after much thought, decided to go to the small music store not too far from the orphanage. He could get himself something there to enjoy, though he wasn't sure exactly what. He just liked music and without much idea on what to get, or even do, he figured he could at least glance about the store. He honestly didn't know what else to do with his day, days off were rare, and for once he didn't want to stay inside and avoid people...not that he was planning on being overly social either.
The trip over to the music store was long, he walked rather than waste money on public transportation, and had him walking by a game store as well. It looked rather packed with people, maybe some new game? He didn't know anything about that sort of thing, but as he was passing he did spot some plushie in the window which looked like something one of the little girls at the orphanage would like. Maybe....if it wasn't too expensive. Without much thought to it he pushed the door open and stepped inside the game store.

It was a slow day. He hated slow days. He had sorted the various parts of the shelves several times over. He had already taken inventory and ordered most of what they needed. Now he was left with nothing to do and his shift didn't end for another couple of hours.
He vaguely wondered if there was anything that had to be marked down, or transfers hidden somewhere in the back.
With a groan he pulled his beanie over his face with a scowl and an added hiss as it snagged on his ponytail. Was he really that bored that he was considering doing transfers? Oof... Maybe his boss would take pity on him and send him home.
But, of course it was at that point someone chose to walk in. "Hello." He sighed, pushing his beanie back into place with a sigh. "Welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to let me or any of the other associates know."

"I could actually use some help. I was hoping to find out the price of the plushie in the window." Pointing to the odd plushie in the window, some sort of creature, he knew it would be liked. He just hoped it wasn't over priced by too much, or maybe it would be on some sort of sale. He doubted he'd be so lucky in all honesty, he was rarely lucky when it came to such things.
"That one there." As he pointed to the thing, still a bit hopeful he'd be able to afford it. He didn't know what it was exactly, if that wasn't blindingly obvious, he figured the little girl he had in mind for it would know...or she'd find out somehow.

Derek had to suppress the urge to roll his eyes. Of course it was about the plush. "That plush is ten dollars." He said almost automatically as he rubbed his face. "We have been trying to sell that thing for ages. It's the last one we have, and of course, universal law mandates that we'll never be able to sell it now because of it.." Derek shrugged. "I could ask my manager if there's any other discounts or something that we can throw on it to get it out of our god forsaken sights, but other then that I'm afraid what you see is what you get."
"Was there anything else you needed help with? Anything you need finding?"

Well, weren't they just a delightful person, certainly didn't seem to be in a good mood, Liam felt like rolling his eyes for a moment but refrained. This wasn't for him so he would be nice, he wanted to get this. he could afford it. "I'll take it. it's not for me." it was for one of the girls, if he had to he could call her a sister. She certainly felt like a sister, she'd been there over a year and he'd been there forever, so she really might as well be his sister.
"Can I just...get a bag for it." Since he had to be next door as well, he might be able to afford one book of empty sheet music pages for himself, so he wanted to keep it safe and keep it from getting dirty. He wanted the surprise to be as clean and neat as he could keep it, it was rare they got new things at the orphanage. Getting slight used things was normal..so new was something to be treasured and he knew the girl in mind would do just that - treasure it. He was ok with the small sacrifice for it.

Derek fixed the kid with a confused look. "...Is it a birthday gift or something?" He asked, taking the plushie from the window and taking it over to the register. "I don't think we can do a gift receipt on it but, if they wanted to return or exchange it, they should be fine if they bring the original receipt." Should be.... In theory.
Maybe.
"Uuum.." Derek blinked, taking a step back and looking under the counter. "We don't have anything super fancy but..." He pulled out a paper bag with the stores logo on it. "Would this work? Feels a bit more, I don't know, formal? Versus casual which a plastic bag might give off." At least to him anyway.

"Not a birthday gift but it is a gift, for someone I know." One of many younger children he knew and grew up with. "That's fine, just in case. I'll let her know, I don't think it'll be an issue though." He didn't see her as wanting to return it. He had a feeling she'd treasure it. He couldn't wait to get home and let her see, to see her reaction to a new toy.
"That's fine, it doesn't need to be fancy. A paper bag is fine." They didn't get fancy things...it would be awkward to ever get something fancy. A lot of things were strange and unexperienced to children who grew up as they did.
"I just don't want it getting dirty and I want it to be a bit of a surprise." Though just getting something new would be a surprise. He wanted her to take it out of a bag - like a proper gift.
