GIFT GIVING, IT'S AN ART FORM, though perhaps not one trip is particularly blessed in. even after 15 minutes in the forester family's shop, all he's managed to come up with is a small plant pot for kc and the beginning of an incense - induced headache. ah well, better than nothing, right ? stepping away from the fruitless shelves of oddities, he’s about to make his way to the checkout desk when his back suddenly collides with something solid. heart leaping, he pivots quickly, hands shooting out just in time for a ridiculously expensive - looking vase to land in his arms rather than shatter into the ground. too close. way too close. he hazards a glance up, hoping that no one saw the blunder, but then his eyes lock with mack's behind the register, and his hopes sink. ❝ that . . . could have been really bad, ❞ trip laughs, sheepish and utterly unaware of the fragments of plant pot now laying around his feet, the piece abandoned in the heat of the moment.
