She is, yes. It is to be a Christmas present.

That's very sweet. (Smile.) They also sell wrapping paper, if she'd like to take a look.

No thank you, she has other plans for that.

Alright. Have a happy Christmas!

And the same to you.

Next she'd like to take a look at the toy store.

The toy store contains a lot of stuff with electronics that might not work in Hogwarts (a singing mermaid doll, an RC airplane, toy instruments, handheld games, the Super NES game console...), but there's also lower tech options - cloth dolls, fashion dolls, play sets, water pistols, plastic dinosaurs... And stuffed animals, ranging from 'entirely unrealistic' (a blue tiger with very weird proportions, an orange velociraptor, a pink and blue cat, a purple dragon, a glittery reindeer) to character toys (Mickey Mouse, 101 Dalmations, Winnie the Pooh) to actually sort of realistic toys (mostly teddy bears, dogs or wolves, a few big cats...).

After a brief perusal of the electronics (impractical for now), she focuses in on the stuffed animals.

After some thought, she selects the dragon, the pink and blue cat, and a tiger. (She tries to shuffle the last of these like it's not terribly important.)

The cashier here asks if she wants a box or gift bag for these.

"Separate boxes, please."

Alright!

Great.

And with that, her shopping seems pretty much done.

"I'd like to get something for Anathema, too," Professor Reynolds says, "If you don't mind staying out a bit longer."

"Not at all."

"Alright."

She ends up heading into one of the children's clothing stores, smiling at the array of painfully bright clothes. "Does this look like something she'll like?" she asks, pulling out a turquoise jacket with pink and glittery gold stripes.

"Well. It is shiny."

She laughs. "It looks warm - and better for running around in outside than robes, too..." She ends up getting that, then - "Do you want to get lunch out?"

"Sure."

They can find somewhere nice, then, before heading back to the school.

It's nice to go out with Professor Reynolds.

It's been a pleasant outing for her, too.

Hee.

"How are you thinking of wrapping the gifts?"

"Use the Art supplies to decorate some paper."

"That sounds like a lovely idea."

"That's what I thought."
