[ It had worked once before, back in the heat of late summer in Asgard, so Jade was trying it again. She had dragged the sign out to the front of the store, right in the middle of the sidewalk, and written in huge letters:

free hot chocolate! :D
just come inside ♥

The temperature hadn't broken the sixty degree mark today - it was getting chilly fast. Both Orihime and Annabeth were gone, and the store was oddly quiet. Jade will be found keeping herself busy throughout the day with odd little chores when it's completely empty of customers - sweeping, dusting, and occasionally dozing in a booth near the door when the boredom becomes too much to bear. ]

We could have it here for everyone!

[ Oh man, she's delighted beyond words, and she goes to gently shove the mug into Stiles's chest. ]

My birthday was December first. You should get me two presents.

[teenyoda]

[He takes the mug, trying not to grin at her.]

Is that what I should do? You want two crappy presents from me instead of one?

[nukeoleptic]

Yes!

[ Oh, she is delighted here. ]

One shitty Christmas present, one shitty birthday present!

[teenyoda]

So if I get you two used toothbrushes, you're not going to flip out on me?

[He was so not getting her two used toothbrushes.]

[nukeoleptic]

-- hey! That's not a shitty gift, that's a mean gift. There's a difference. Mr. Stilinski.

[teenyoda]

A left sock and an empty pad of paper?

[nukeoleptic]

If you get me those things because you think I'd really like them? Then okay! I'll be happy with that.

[teenyoda]

Oh my god, Jade, I'm not getting you a sock. Jesus. I'm just saying you shouldn't expect too much. I'm not exactly rolling in the green here and there aren't any malls around.

[nukeoleptic]

[ She cracks up a little bit, shrugging once. ] I know you wouldn't. Buuuut how about you get me a card and we'll call it even? I kind of like those better than presents.

[teenyoda]

I have to get you a card and a present. Double gifts, remember?

[nukeoleptic]

[ She rolls her eyes, moving to peck his cheek. ]

Drink your hot chocolate, and don't be late to work tomorrow. Orihime's gone, we can't slack.

[teenyoda]

Wait, what do you mean 'gone'? Like, vacation gone or gone back home gone?

[nukeoleptic]

Um... back home. She's not on the contact list anymore.

[teenyoda]

So... you're running this place all by yourself?

[CONCERN]

[nukeoleptic]

Y...es?

[ SHE DOESN'T GET THE CONCERN ]

[teenyoda]

Why don't you, um, maybe look at getting Ryan to co-own it with you.

[You know, someone who would make sure the place made money.]

[nukeoleptic]

[ ... D: ]

I can run this restaurant on my own, Stiles.

[teenyoda]

[Well, she'd been happy with him for all of five seconds.]

Jade, if you had it your way you'd just give away food to everyone.

[nukeoleptic]

Yeah, and it all comes out of my pay, I'm not gonna let the restaurant suffer because of me. I pay my half of the rent with the shrine blessing I get.

[teenyoda]

What shrine blessing?

[Whaaaat?]

[nukeoleptic]

Are you serious right now.

[teenyoda]

[nukeoleptic]

There are little shrines in the yards out in front of the god houses. You can get favors from them.

[teenyoda]

I don't want any favors from them, unless it's to let us all go home.

[nukeoleptic]

Well, they're not mandatory. That's just how I afford things.
