003- [action] Happy Mother's Day (backdated to Sunday)

[smallestgrave]

[After being given a lovely generic card from her drone children, and going to church, which she never misses, Alice is out and about on Mother's day. You can find her is several places:]

A) [Shopping at the grocery store. She seems to be having trouble reaching a bottle of cooking wine on a high shelf. Give her a hand?]

Why would they keep things

A

[spellbent]

Allow me. [ Warren is a tall dude. He can reach up there and grab it for her. ]

Re: A

[smallestgrave]

Thank you, Sir.

[She gives him a sweet smile. There's so many nice people in this town.]

[spellbent]

My pleasure. [ He smiles back. For once it's not... creepy. ] Is there anything else I can do for you?

[smallestgrave]

That's very kind of you. But it really isn't necessary. Unless you'd like to help me carry my groceries home...

[From her tone, it's clear that the last part was more of a joke.]

I don't believe we're acquainted, Sir. My name is Alice.

[spellbent]

[ Joke or no, he's taking it seriously. ] I'd be happy to.

No "sir", please. My name is Warren.

[smallestgrave]

[She blushes slightly.]

Oh no, that won't be necessary. I'm sure I can carry it all just fine.

It's very nice to meet you, Warren. Have you lived in Mayfield for very long?

[spellbent]

Please, I insist. You shouldn't have to carry it all by yourself. [ god he's going to hate himself for all of this when it's over ]

The pleasure is all mine, Miss Alice. I suppose I've been here about a month. Yourself?

[smallestgrave]

That's very sweet of you.

I've been here for about two months now. I'm still not quite sure what to make of it.
