The Magpie Emporium; Friday, 07/29.

Graham wasn't sure if it was just him or what, but he felt like there was something a little different in the air in the shop that day, one that made him feel a little sad and upset, though he didn't know why. It definitely made him feel like he should have brought Triumph in with him today; that guy could always cheer up a room! And Saffron didn't seem that interested in talking about it (Saffron, in general, did not seem very interested in Graham), but Little Bot seemed very encouraging and positive about the whole thing.

(He thought, anyway. He definitely was not fluent in Robot like he was in most varieties of Animal).

But he did know he wasn't going to let the strange mood affect his game night, so, instead of worrying about it too much, he threw himself into a little bit of prep and planning and some hopefully good things to throw at the group as their adventure continued!

The Magpie Emporium is open!

Vi caught it one handed, the other arm being full of purring cat. "Thanks, Graham," she said as she looked more closely at it, forcing a decent approximation of a smile. "This is really neat."

Graham positively beamed at even that mild praise, shoulders lifting proudly and feeling quite good about his bestowment of gifts now.

But, of course, being Graham, he couldn't just leave it there for what it was and followed that preening up with a somewhat babbling, "Do you get it? Because the blue's like the water and the yellow's like the sand, and your character's name is Wind Over Surf, so it's like the surf and the sand and the wind blowing over it...."

Luckily, Vi had enough experience dealing with Graham's kind of enthusiasm that she could do it in her sleep. "Yeah, that's a pretty cool way of doing it."

And, really, that was pretty much all Graham needed, his beam getting just that little bit brighter at even the most simple of validations and the confidence now that Vi did, in fact, get it.

"Thanks!" he said. "I thought it was pretty clever, too."

Yes, Graham, clearly.
