 ”Yeah. Suppose it isn’t as appropriate being all chipper an’ enthusiastic throughout somethin’ like tha’, is it? ‘ave to give out a more solemn air with that sorta thing.” She can’t quite recall this bloke being the face of any commercial, much less one about health awareness— granted, she doesn’t spend as much time at home watching the telly now. 

"Juices, though— reckon y’can sell those well enough. Wha’ did y’say were in this one, again?" 

[grainandsimple-blog]

"Indeed. I believe the words used to describe my work were....'overwhelmingly enthusiastic'."  He laughs and shakes his head, giving her a bright smile.  " Ah....carrot juice, a tiny bit of ginger, orange juice, green apple, and of course, mountain spring water. The blend of juices changes depending on available seasonal ingredients."

"Are you like a therapist or something, man?" Shaggy wasn’t sure what exactly he was but he definitely had to be something. Counselor, motivational speaker, therapist. He had too much life advice not to be.

Shaggy quickly glanced into the cup again and bit down on his lip as he pondered what was being said, “Yeah but like what about if you’re running from something and like that’s what’s making you stressed?”

[grainandsimple-blog]

"Oh no no no. I'm not a therapist-"  he laughs brightly and shakes his head. "Just a simple city manager."    He listens to the young man speak and then he  nods. "Then, then thing that is making you stressed is something you will have to face.  On your own terms.  You can choose how you want to face that. It's in your hands."

"And I’m not even done unloading them from the car!!" Leslie cheered as she quickly hurried back to her car.

"Tighten your pants Chris, because your mind is gonna be pie-blown…" Leslie grinned as she made a booming noise with her mouth. 

[grainandsimple-blog]

He continues to be amazed and impressed.  "Would you like help bringing them in? I do have near perfect balance. I could be very helpful."

[likefifteenlayersofirony]

      ”Appears to be my name, yeah. It’s        on the thing Leslie made, y’know?”

                  Is she supposed to deal with this like with a                   puppy? Give it a treat when it does a simple                   task right? Huh. 

[grainandsimple-blog]

"That is your name. Yes."   He pauses and then flashes her a bright smile. "You've just given me an idea for a dodgeball party."

Ariana brought a plate of her homemade brownies to Chris and set down the plate for him. "I-I tried making them with organic ingredients l-like you suggested and I'm a little nervous to taste them.."

'AH!” He brightened and took a quiet sniff of the brownies. “They smell delicious!  Let's try them together?”

[arixbug-deactivated20150624]

Ariana giggled and nodded in agreement, “Well, y-you’re welcome to as many as you like..! There’s plenty. I also made a batch for Ron..! But uhm. I made them with the normal ingredients. He says that using coconut oil as butter is a horrifying abomination to mankind.. Also they have dates in them..So..Yeah. had to make two batches. Good thing I love baking!”

[grainandsimple-blog]

He smiles brightly at her and quietly eats another brownie.  "Well. They are delicious, and I am sure Ron will enjoy his as well. You are very talented!"

     ❝I’m good. Just been sorting out presents for the holidays. On that note, you wouldn’t have any ideas for Ben, would you?❞

[grainandsimple-blog]

"I haven't decided what I am going to give Ben either..."  He pauses, and then smiles. 

"But! I believe you will find the best present that you, Ann Perkins, can give him!"

"Yeah—I can…I can kind of guess that.” He gives the other a sheepish grin. “I mean, the kid’s size with sodas are insane here,I once ordered a large soda and I didn’t know they were that huge…I nearly got diabetes.”

[grainandsimple-blog]

"The amount of sugar in those drinks is literally  a frightening amount."

A look of relief appeared on Shaggy’s face. He was just pleased that the conversation had gotten less grim now. He was starting to get a little bit nervous. Then again, he often got nervous so there was really nothing different there.

He beamed back. Glad that he had apparently at least did OK with that one. Even if a lot of his other food choices weren’t even close to being healthy. Shaggy nodded, “Yeah like I’ve done a lot of running throughout the years.” He grimaced slightly to himself as he thought about the reason why he’d often had to run, “Although like I wouldn’t say it’s helped me feel energetic.” He had done track by choice but when he was running from creeps in masks, he’d had other concerns.

[grainandsimple-blog]

"Running is good for you, my friend. But. It can be very stressful if you don't have the right mindset.  I would suggest...meditation. Or perhaps taking a photographic journal of your walking journey."  He brightens and tilts his head.  "The possibilities are endless."

                  Uh, no, she didn’t throw tiny balls of paper on                   him for the last, half an hour or so. Nope. 

[grainandsimple-blog]

He totally wasn't ignoring the balls of paper. He was just...doing lunges. Yes.

As much as she’d like to remain moody until presented with her tea, the blonde finds herself unable to do so as the other displays his ardour— “Alright, yeah. Can give it a shot, I suppose.” Further inspection of the contents of the proffered bottle prove encouraging— the colour wasn’t too bad, and really, it wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle— not after Zaffic, the beef(-ish) flavoured Slush Puppie she’d sampled on Satellite Five. Gamely, she brings the bottle to her lips— biased or not, she really does feel much more refreshed after a sip. Here, a soft grin finally -finally!- tugs at her lips as she hands the bottle back, murmuring a grateful “Thanks.”

"— Ever considered goin’ into advertising? Reckon y’can sell anything, with tha’ enthusiasm."

[grainandsimple-blog]

The fact that she doesn't decide it's a disgusting concoction of ridiculously healthy things is promising.  The smile is even better, and when he accepts the bottle back he's practically beaming.

"I considered it. The last advertisement I participated in was more of a health awareness statement about diabetes. Which is a horrible horrible thing. "
