[Steph has four things to do: buy Christmas presents, buy herself an outfit for the Borgia party, buy cookie supplies, and get her tattoo finished. The first two things are prioritized, so she spends most of her time in malls or in the stores lining the streets, slowly gaining more and more shopping bags.

The dress for herself ends up coming from the Ted Baker store on Fifth Avenue, after she spends way too much time trying on different dresses. Most of the presents come from LUSH, a few from Best Buy, and the rest from clothing or department stores. Later in the evening she picks up all the ingredients for the cookie baking at the end of the month, even if grocery shopping isn't half as fun as everything else.

It's more fun than sitting in a tattoo parlour, getting the bats on the nape of her neck finshed, although the end product of that is more than worth the pain.

Even later in the evening, she finds a spot near the tree, having acquired a gingerbread coffee with whipped cream on top, and just watches the crowd. Saul is with her for most of that part, but occasionally one of them wanders off to investigate something, leaving the other alone. Sometimes it's nice to feel like she's disppearing into the crowd, after the stress of the last few months.

At least the purple in the lower half of her hair makes her easy to spot in a crowd for people who know what they're looking for, and it seems like she's permanently attached to a cup of coffee.

She just misses Starbucks, okay?]
