The jackal tagged along closely. Once everything was into the basket, he would lift it, suspending over his free arm to effortlessly carry it that way.
❝ Sweet. Wanna browse some more stuff? I betcha somethin' else will catch yer eye. ❞

"i like being around you too! th -- thank you. i'll grab us a basket," she replied happily, tugging him along gently and nudging the shopping basket with her shoe.
"here we go," was exclaimed as she placed the items in the basket carefully.

❝ We can get a basket. I'll carry it for us, Lottie. ❞
He gave her a little nickname there. Something she could remember him by whenever they see each other.
❝ Yer a real sweetheart, ya know? I like being around ya already. ❞
◈ ･ﾟ SϾΛЯLΣTT。
charlotte nodded happily, using her free hand to pull the kuromi merch closer and in her hold. the sol hedgehog appeared happy to be gifting him something as well. charlotte wouldn't have accepted any gifts until she got him merch too.
"should we grab a basket or a cart for the items?"

❝ Kuromi, huh? ❞
Scar peered over, seeing that character in many different outfits. A certain one that was mostly black and red caught his eye. These alternate Kuromi were always neat.
❝ That red one seems nice... and I do need me a new bedside lamp... ❞
◈ ･ﾟ SϾΛЯLΣTT。
"i will find something you'll really like! i promise," the sol hedgehog insisted, moving around and glancing at the shelves before gasping and pointing with her free hand.
"what about that? look at that kuromi plush and kuromi lamp. do you want a kuromi plush? . . . kuromi is so cool."

The male would stick close, letting her guide their way as they still kept their hands together. His fuzzy fingers enveloping her own gentle.
❝ Heh, I'm good, but that's up to ya. Surprise me. ❞
◈ ･ﾟ SϾΛЯLΣTT。
the blonde hedgehog timidly nodded, keeping her hand in his and slowly pulling him towards the bobble head figurine. she mirrored the grin.
"th--thank you. do you want anything? what about i get you something," she insisted quietly, still unwilling to receive a gift without giving in return.
₊˚꒰𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖫𝖮𝖳𝖳𝖤 🩰ᘏ꒷˚₊
❝ Heh, I feel ya. But don't worry, I wanna give it as a token of our new friendship. ❞
The jackal insisted. He truly didn't mind, her company alone seemed to bring him plenty of joy.
❝ Grab that and pick a giant My Melody plushie, go wild. ❞
◈ ･ﾟ SϾΛЯLΣTT。
"oh! uhm. . . n -- no. i couldn't. that would be so selfish of me. . . i should be getting you something," she replied with timid awkwardness, genuinely worried about being accidentally selfish or greedy.
charlotte seems unaccustomed to being treated nicely like this, and she wants to be polite.
₊˚꒰𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖫𝖮𝖳𝖳𝖤 🩰ᘏ꒷˚₊
❝ It's my pleasure. ❞
Oh, lots of beautiful branded plushies and accessories from Sanrio! The glee in her eyes made him chuckle.
❝ Yup, right there. You want it too? ❞
◈ ･ﾟ SϾΛЯLΣTT。
"hello, scar! it's nice to meet you--"
further speech died on her lips because the hedgehog was too busy gazing around her with wide, sparkly brown eyes. it has been a while since charlotte was around so much merch!
"oh wow! lookie! do you see that hello kitty bobble head over there?"
₊˚꒰𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖫𝖮𝖳𝖳𝖤 🩰ᘏ꒷˚₊
❝ Oh, yer from the Sol dimension... nice. Been a bit since I met any folk from there. ❞
Tenderly, he gave her hand a tiny squish before entering the store!
❝ Name's Scarlett, but ya can call me just Scar. ❞
◈ ･ﾟ SϾΛЯLΣTT。
"t--thank you so much. i'm charlotte! i'm from the sol dimension. what's your name," she politely inquired, still visibly timid and reacting shyly to his words.
charlotte had no idea where she would put the plushie in her apartment. she'd find a spot for it.
₊˚꒰𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖫𝖮𝖳𝖳𝖤 🩰ᘏ꒷˚₊
❝ My Melody, huh? Yeah, ya definitely give the vibes of soft and sweet. ❞
Scar chuckled lowly, being this extroverted was his nature.
❝ One oversized plushie comin' right up. ❞
◈ ･ﾟ SϾΛЯLΣTT。
"my melody is my favorite sanrio character. i -- i would love a giant my melody plush," she stammered shyly, clearly not used to the attention she was getting.
charlotte glanced back at him, noticed he was smiling, and offered a timid smile in return.

❝ Ya girls nowadays are really into all that Kuromi and Melody stuff, yeah? How 'bout a giant plush to remember me by? ❞
The jackal flashed an excited grin. Looks like he was willing to spoil her some.
◈ ･ﾟ SϾΛЯLΣTT。
the sol hedgehog glanced at him, blinking wide brown eyes and then looking at their connected hands. a look of brief confusion before she nods in supposed understanding.
"you're taking me to the sanrio popup store," she replied.

He is just casually taking the [READER] by the hand.
❝ Yer comin' with me. I know a place. ❞
