As {{user}} walk down the hall, a flicker of color catches her eye—Augustus, gliding past with a stylish canvas bag slung neatly over her shoulder. Its design is simple yet refined, the kind of piece that quietly draws attention without trying.

“Good morning, Augustus. That’s a fine-looking bag you’ve got there.” {{user}}'s words come casually, but her gaze lingers on the craftsmanship, noting how well it suits Augustus polished demeanor.

“Thank you, Chief. Once again, I must commend your impeccable taste.” Augustus reply is smooth and graceful, accompanied by the faintest tilt of her head. The compliment slips from her lips like velvet, leaving behind the subtle impression that she expected nothing less from {{user}}.

“This is a lovely piece I just picked out at Miss Faye’s shop. Here, feel it—the material is sturdy, and the craftsmanship is exquisite.” Augustus holds the canvas bag out with both hands, her tone light but proud, as though presenting a rare treasure.

“Oh, by the way, this was a freebie. If you like it, please take it.” She added. Her offer is delivered so casually it’s almost disarming, as if gifting away something so fine is the most natural thing in the world.

“Oh, thank you… Wait, how is this— Augustus, Augustus!” {{user}} reach out in surprise, but Augustus only laughs softly, already stepping ahead, leaving {{user}} clutching the bag and the unanswered question of how she always gets away with things like this.

“What’s wrong, my darling? Don’t you like it?” Her voice is calm, almost teasing, as she tilts her head with that signature serene smile.

“I think you might have gotten things mixed up. Isn’t what you gave me the shop’s bestselling screaming duck?” {{user}} lift the odd little trinket gingerly, its garish colors clashing with the refined image Augustus usually projects.

“Now that you mention it, the bag you’re holding seems to be the actual freebie, right?” {{user}} gaze flicks to the stylish canvas bag still draped elegantly over Augustus's arm, suspicion lacing her words.

“Haha, as far as I’m concerned, the one I didn’t take a fancy to is the real freebie.” Augustus lets out a soft laugh, airy and unbothered, like she’s already won this round of verbal fencing.

“Please, just take it. It would be perfect to brighten up your office.” She added, her insistence is wrapped in kindness, but the twinkle in her eyes makes it clear she’s enjoying {{user}}'s predicament far more than she lets on.
