At least it was sunny today. Greer felt like she was unreasonably bundled up for the day, compared to those around her, but she couldn’t feel her fingers already! She had already lost Lorelei and her cousins in the crowd somewhere and had been crowned with a wreath of pretty little yellow daisies by a woman walking around with them. There was so much to see that Greer was at least mostly distracted from the sting on her cheeks.

She would survive this, just as she’d survived everything else; there was just a need to be dramatic about it first. Keeping an eye out for her sister or any of the Greengrass siblings as she moved around, she was distracted by the sweet aroma of something chocolatey. Gigi followed her nose to a booth with sweets and a bit of a line. By the time she got to the front she had her pocket money out and was ready to buy. She asked for some of the fudge and some other magical little treat, thoroughly amused by the premise of the little chocolate frog. It was then that she spotted the cauldron as the source of the delectable scent on the air.

”Hot chocolate? You cannot be serious?” But the girl on the other side of the table was quite serious, obviously noting the accent to her incredulous tone. ”I’ll try it,” Greer decided with a decisive nod. A few coins lighter but with her treats in hand, she made her way from the booth with a wide smile. Stepping off to the side so as not to be in the way, she took the first sip of the hot cocoa. ”Oh!” She gasped. ”That is positively divine, who would have thought!” Greer chuckled to herself and took another indulgent sip.
