[Duo is out in a very Christmas-y get up, all of reds whites and greens, but very obviously one of Jinx's outfits.
At least it isn't a dress this time.
He's out in the cold (though there hasn't been any snow yet) but doesn't seem to bothered by it, grinning at passers by and handing out candy canes with little coupons for the tea shop attached.
The sun is starting to set, though, and the late day shopping crowds are beginning to thin. Duo waves to a couple after handing them candy canes and sighs, putting his arms behind his head, stretching and sighing with a smile.
Down the road a little ways a child cries out, and several others laugh, running out from an empty lot. Duo looks their way curiously just as the child that yelled stumbles out from the lot, covered in mud and crying.]
Oh damn...
[Walking over, he kneels down in front of the kid and takes out a red handkerchief, rubbing the mud and tears off his face. The kid looks up at him, all wide eyed and surprised.]
Are you Santa?!
[Duo chuckles] Nah. Just one of his helpers. Here. [smiling, he hands the boy a candy cane. The boy takes it with a big grin and hugs Duo before running off. Laughing sheepishly, he stands back up and starts heading for the the tea shop.]
Man, I love this time of year...
