The bustling streets of the Penacony shopping district were crowded today. It gets especially busy this time of year as it gets ever closer to the end of the system year. Himeko had taken Welt out with her to the shopping district to pick out gifts for each of the Express members for the gift-giving this year, although it would be a given that Welt would end up just being a bag carrier after a certain point.

Himeko: "How about this? It's definitely the kind of novelty that March would like."

She shook a small snow globe with a mini penacony inside of it, the little "snowflakes" swirling down inside of it. Welt gave a slight nod; he was already holding a few bags of potential gifts for not just the members of the Astral Express but also other close companions. They were looking through a little souvenir shop on the corner of the street, which had tons of little knick-knacks like this and other novelties perfect for gifts.

Welt: "It's definitely something she'd like, but maybe there's something else you could get her that isn't 'seasonal' that way she can enjoy it year-round."

With a slight nod, Himeko agreed as she placed the little snow globe back down on the shelf.

Himeko: "You're right, she'd probably like something more like a plushie or pretty ornament that she can keep around all year, right?"
