•Tracing• Snow & Angel
The idea that she had simply misread Lucifer’s comment about welcome back presents had crossed her mind; no one else had been handing out presents, of course, but it was quickly dismissed. It was entirely possible that she just missed an email. That was a thing that happened, completely logical. Even if it wasn’t, it was almost the holiday season anyway so she could get a head start on everyone’s presents. That was the idea that pushed her in front of Angel’s door with a pad of paper and a pencil in one hand. The other hand knocked, and she waited.
Everyone was going to get socks. Everyone. She and Angel might not have known each other very well, and this might be an odd place to start, but she was there and ready to start on the task at hand. The hour before she had prepared an opening that started with an explanation because asking to trace someone’s foot with no explanation is a very strange request. It was eloquent and natural, and of course when the door opened it disappeared from her mind.
“Could I trace your foot?” Briefly her eyes shut as she realized what just happened. “What I meant was, I’m making everyone socks, and to get the right size I need to trace feet. Could I trace one of your feet?” That wasn’t her best moment. Gesturing with the paper pad she smiled and thought this couldn’t possibly get worse.
