location: zack’s (uncles) store availablity: @zolguin
simon was absolutely not subtle about spending as much time around the shop as he could. whatever extra money he had being spent purchasing useless things just for the chance to hang around zack more. eventually, (after wandering the store in hopes of gaining zack’s attention) he realized that he was going to have to be the one to step up and say something first. “so, uh, you’ve lived here your whole life, right?” the question seems innocuous enough, and while simon didn’t really know where he was going with it when he asked - he was an expert in making things up on the spot. “i was just like, thinking about going hiking on my next day off. the environment here is gorgeous. and i was wondering where would be the best place to go? and the best place to not get myself killed by like... wild lemurs.”
