"Alright. You can keep that one. Now we just need a hundred other standard-issue sleds."

Fadran nudged one of Connie's other characters. "Where the heck did you find this bundle of pure joy?"

"She works at the Mishmash Inn. She's not usually like this, she's actually a butler there," replied Daolan. "We're glad to have her, though."

"I can't keep track of all my employees." He picked out some of his own sleds, then thumbed at Aria. "I'm keeping that one, by the way. I want to see what'd happen if her and Kindness did anything together."

I'm just going to pretend Daolan knows who Kindness is... 

Daolan laughed. "I can imagine it, and it looks wonderful. Maybe they can decorate for Valentine's Day."

"I'll remember that suggestion." Fadran raised his voice. "Aria, do you think we have enough sleds yet?"

"Did you say one hundred? No, we don't have one hundred. We've got 46... 47... 48..." she counted, placing sleds on one of the rapidly growing piles. "It still might be enough, though!"

"I never said one hundred. Fifty should be more than enough."

[Condensation she/her]

"All right, 50!" Aria gestures toward the piles. "There we go, fifty sleds. Plus one." She smiles and picks up a pile, then walks over and grabs the other sled as well.

Fadran stuffs all the sleds into a backpack he borrowed from Enter, then glanced at the shelves. He also picked out a single large, wooden toboggan. "So we can go sledding together."

"Really? I hadn't looked. Sounds awesome!"

Andante leads them to the cash register, where the cashier looks at them with obvious disbelief.

"Okay, that'll be (large amount of money because I don't want to do math right now). Will you be paying with cash, card, or check?"

"Card, thanks," Andante cuts in. She swipes her card, puts in her PIN, and signs. "Thanks, that'll be all."

"Have a good day!" The cashier smiles.

"You too, and Merry Christmas!" Aria grinned like a Cheshire cat.

As she inevitably walked by the mural, everyone jumped out and showered her with sleds.

She jumped. "Oh, you're back. I wasn't sure where you'd want the big tree, so I started on the others. Hope you don't mind."

He looked to Herate. "I recommend standing back a little."

Aria started tossing sleds through the portal.
