Who: Junior and Kimmy When: Tuesday morning, October 26th. Where: Baroque street, Junior's fancy stall. What: Kimmy goes shopping for food and other things.
The stand owner next to Junior's sneered at him from her wooly sweater and cheap candles. Junior coughed into his hands to warm them up, then he gave the old bitch the finger. Shivering in his t-shirt and roughed up jeans, he tried to surround his neck with his long hair and he tucked his cold fingers under his armpits. His teeth chattered.
It was so fucking cold. His eyes on the little box he used to store all his money, he reluctantly sat smaller in his chair and picked up the work in front of him, determined to get more beading done. Maybe he could finish that bracelet... Just seventeen more lines. It was a pretty shade of green, with some yellows and browns snuck in to compliment the colours. He grimaced as he tried to get his fingers to work. It was too cold to be working, too cold to be here

A bracelet? Kim looked at the stranger behind the stand. The first thing she noticed was his lack of proper clothes. And it was cold today too. Was the guy nuts?
Instead of answering him, she instead asked: "Aren't you cold?" with a slight hint of worry.
"Cold?" Junior scoffed. "Damn right I'm cold. But I can't make a living if I shake in my house all day like a pussy," he grinned, rubbing on his arms.
"So what's up with you, chick? You don't look like you come here often." Damn, she was prettier up close. If he played his cards right, he might even get her name.

"I was just passing through, and saw these stands." she explained. Some of the bracelets looked actually pretty nice...
