healtheearthWho: Micah and Jacob
Where: Shepherd's Haven
When: Mid-December, early evening
What: Christmas shopping and meeting new people.
Jacob was rushing a bit through the streets, not quite a jog, but a full-blown speed walk. He dodged passerby to the best of his ability, but would graze more than a couple as he pushed by them. His cheeks were a little red, and not exactly from the cold. He pulls his scarf up higher as he glances through store windows and gives disgruntled looks of thought.
The streets had all kinds of lights and wreathes strung around. Other places showed off brightly coloured ornaments in their well-decorated trees. And everywhere seemed... crowded. Serves him right for waiting until what felt like the last minute.
Christmas was coming, and he had pretty much everyone shopped for. His mom was getting a new curling iron, with all the bells and whistles. He got his younger sister some new art supplies (as many as the store would let him buy). Richard was easy: Top-shelf whiskey. He got Nux wrenches to work on his car with. Almost everybody except.... Tony.
For some reason, the perfect gift for Tony eluded Jacob. Alcohol seemed too informal, and a bouquet of Jacob's hand-grown flowers seemed... Jacob shook his head frantically. Let's not go there.
As he's peering through shops, trying to desperately grasp at ideas, his mind is elsewhere as he tries to maneuver around people. As he tries to peer through the window past a group of people, standing on his toes, he curses under his breath for not being taller. He cranes himself as tall as he can, as far as his toes and neck can reach. A bump from someone else and he's completely caught off balance.
He can't seem to catch himself and ends up falling into someone behind him before tumbling to the ground completely. Ow... Jacob rubs his head as he winces. He's not sure what he hit, but ow.
"S...Sorry..." He groans, between apologetic and frustrated.
