[ Charles' English accent comes through the communicator succinctly after a polite clearing of his throat. There's been an incredible amount going on, both in his own life and others' as well as in the City, and he'd love any excuse to take a breather from it all.
The holidays, as it so happens, are the perfect one with which to do just that. ]
With Christmas and Hanukkah coming so soon, I've found myself in need of both decorations for the house and gifts for friends and family. I'm afraid I don't quite know my way through these awfully expansive malls, and was wondering if perhaps someone should like to shop with me for gifts?
This person would also assist in the picking out of gifts for certain individuals to whom I'm obligated to provide them for, as well as instruct me on proper holiday home decor.
[ The smile in Charles' voice is evident, though the stiffness of it suggests that he's essentially requesting someone to temporarily replace the help he grew up with in his affluent home. He has no intention to be malicious about it, but he's also somewhat disconnected from your standard family holidays, and much of that can be gathered from his behaviour in his request.
What a dork. ]
Of course, if you are able to provide any home decoration or gift suggestions over the Network, I will gladly take them. Your help is wholly appreciated.
Ah--thank you very much.
