Slipping away from her parents, she made a beeline for her cousin closest in age. She hopped up onto the bench next to the sliiightly older eleven-year-old and peered over to see what book she was reading. She didn't bother to say hello, of course, saying hello wasn't for cousins who were born only 37 days apart.

To no one, or at least not Eulalia's, surprise, Tam was reading a music book. In the hubbub of the Alley, Lally couldn't hear her cousin humming, but she gently nudged the girl with her elbow. "Is this a new book?" she asked, depositing her tiny reptilian friend on her cousin's shoulder without asking if that was okay.
She was so caught up in her imagination and the impressive solo she was currently playing, that Tam hadn't even noticed the wooden bench creak underneath as another person joined her. Her hums were only growing louder too as it all came to a crescendo and right at the pivotal moment -

She gave a startled hop on the bench as an album found it's way gently into her side. Her eyes popped open and first thing she saw was the tiny reptile on her shoulder, which softened her expression as she let go of her book to reach up and scritch him gently under the chin before looking around at her cousin. "Lally! It is! I just got it at Atticus Aldredge's." She gestured for a moment to the plastic still gathered in her skirt, as if evidence were necessary. "What shop are you coming from?" She glanced around her to try to take stock of any purchases that might have been made.
