Originally Posted by hermionesclone The gift shop was an establishment that she always avoided to the best of her ability. As much as she genuinely enjoyed working for the Ministry, she despised the very idea of such a place. It almost reeked of glorified cheesiness and overpriced goods that was only there to get more money out of people. It was enough to make her want to puke.
But desperate times called for desperate measures, right? It was for this reason that Zhuó Xiá, still in her security robes, marched into the gift shop, a look of forced confidence on her face. She didn't care for any looks she was getting, but there was no hiding the foul stench that followed her wherever she went. An unmistakable stench of animal faeces.
She paused, casting an eye around the store, before marching towards the section with mugs and bowls. There was another woman already there but she had bigger things to worry about than a stranger's perceived notion of her. It was for this very reason that she launched straight into a question and not useless idle chatter. "Ma'am? Do you know how strong these bowls are?" Strong enough to sustain faeces from large animals, possibly? Maybe he would rather receive one less dainty than this? She wondered, pulling another mug off the shelf. This one was one of those with a cheesy phrase and a lazy graphic to match it. It was exactly the kind of gift he would enjoy. She held the two mugs side by side. If only Paria were here to help her with the decision. She was much better at this.
Her head was so wrapped up in her musings that she hadn't noticed that someone had joined her, nor had she noticed the stench. The abrupt question startled her, almost causing her to fling the two mugs out of her hands and onto the floor where they would have surely shattered into tiny pieces ill fit for a birthday present. Fortunately, her hands simply jerked upwards.
Slightly embarrassed, Yassi laughed at herself. "Sorry! I don't usually startle that easily," she hurriedly explained. She tilted her head, furrowing her brows as she considered the question. "I'm not sure," she answered honestly, taking a step forward and placing the mugs back onto the shelf and instead reaching for one of the bowls now. "For what do you need them?" She tapped against the bottom of the bowl with her fingernails. It felt sturdy enough, but that depended on their purpose, she supposed. The smell did not go unnoticed, but Yassi knew better than to say anything. She tried not to make a face.
