Manny was doing a bit of grocery shopping for the house, with the twins. He was giving Soren some time to work on things with the play, so he and the kid got the grocery duties. “The itsy bity spider went up the water spout, down came the rain and washed the out…” he started singing to the children, as they started giggling and cooing. “Out came the sun and dried up all the rain…” A bright smile flashed on his face and he moved to grab an item off the shelf, but accidentally bumped someone’s hand. “Oh sorry, you go first!” He smiled brightly. “How is your holiday season going?” He accent coming in.
Yuri was planning on surprising his family with gingerbread cookies at some point in the December month, so along with his regular groceries he was stocking up on some materials needed to bake. He was humming to himself, in his own little world while he walked down the aisles. His humming suddenly shifted to “Itsy Bitsy Spider”, since he was hearing it coming from someone else. He didn’t notice, though, still singing to himself as he reached for a box of baking soda. He flinched slightly when he felt someone else’s hand, jumping as a result of being caught off guard. As outgoing and friendly as he was, Yuri had a tendency to startle easily.
“Oh! Sorry!” Yuri squeaked, pulling his hand back before the other insisted he go first. He took one of the boxes and then set it in his cart. “Thanks! Oh, so good! I already celebrated Hanukkah with my family, and next Christmas is coming up! I’m so excited! Are you having wonderful holidays?” He spotted the children the other was with then and gave them a small wave and grin.
