Mind you, it wasn't that Éponine wished the polar bears weren't here -- as if she'd ever turn down nice fizzy free beverages? But she did have a job to do, and it was ramping up to that time of year when she'd be busiest, and they kept on offering her drinks and hugs, which was very nice and all but took time out of her day and --

All right, so she didn't much mind the hugs. Those, she wouldn't say no to, now. But all her attempts to persuade the bears to at least carry a full tray of letters or restock the mailing supplies because they were out of large padded envelopes or otherwise help her for a few minutes amounted to nothing. She supposed she couldn't mind too much, since every time she asked them to help she got another bottle of soda or another hug, but ...

Ah, well. Only so much she could do about that then, right? At least they were being pleasant, unlike some ~~NPC~~ customers. She'd take as many of those kinds of encounters as she could get, the closer it got to Christmas.

The occasional snow flurry that came out of the mailboxes was accompanied by jingle bells -- and by 'jingle,' it also meant that some people might recognize the tune they played as one associated with ads for today's free drinks.

The polar bears certainly seemed to approve, anyway.
