At least one Never flies up in defiance, but the Dragon ignores it as beneath his notice, banking around to flick a glass tongue out at her.

Frankie looks up when Trina does, and smiles. "The snow is pretty." Seeing the flakes drift and glitter in the sunlight.

"Yeah, it is. Christmas magic."

"You know what you're gonna ask Santa for?"

Gwen, true to her word, moves towards the stained glass booth

"Um, I saw this light on a commercial, and when the light shines on, it shows a Three-Dee Dinosaur! And some candy, and the new bey blades, and a Skeletor Snake Mountain Playset with legos, and..."

"All KINDS of good stuff."

"...and a real Mandolorian helmet, and NOT anywith with Paw Patrol on it because that's for BABIES... " Last year he liked it... times change! "...um, um. And..." Face screwed up from thinking hard. "Oh, new swimmin' trunks so I can go to swim class. Mama said I can't take swim class because my trunks are all worn out, but they look good to me?"

"Nope, no Paw Patrol. And I think you grew taller, Frankie-stein."

"Weird question, do you have stained glass works with wolves, dragons, horse or dogs?"

The lady at the stained glass booth - who has a pair of stained glass earrings as well that are rather striking - Gives a smile to Gwen.

"Dragons I have a couple, and dragon flies..." She moves aside and proudly gestures to the wall covered with sun catchers and ornaments on hooks....

"I have this stag in thistle, and a leopard in roses... Horses, here is a pegasus I made..."

"Don't ask about the Shrimp, I had the WEIRDEST dream..." She grins.

She laughs at the shrimp "Okay, that shrimp makes me crave sea food"

"Wait, you do Custom pets?" She pulls out her phone and flickers througgh. Dogs, dogs dogs... but she's looking for one in particular and shows it Fort!

The wolfhound is always by the Baron's side

"Oh, what a CUTEY!"

"I could do one in this style, maybe in blues and greys - would this be a suncatcher, or an ornament?"

She blushes "Which would be faster to make? I know it's too close to Christtmas"

She considers, and then looks up, glancing across the way - a nod back to her mentor, and she smiles at Gwen. "I think I can have that for you by the 24th. It takes a couple days, but it's not a lot of TIME, just downtime for cooling, curing, painting and drying... Now, would you like the outlines in black, gold, or silver?"

"Actually if you can do both black and silver, I trust you to know which line should or would dominate, it would be great!"

She has a piece of paper out and is already excitedly sketching... little glimmers of glamour popping like soap bubbles. She's a potent dreamer, this one - no wonder her Mentor keeps a close eye on her.

"Yes, yes... With blue for the eyes, this will be striking."

"I leave it to the maestra" A bit of praise never hurt a dreamer, and besides, i seems to be true

She beams. "Most people insist of telling me what it should be, and then get mad because colors are not COLORS, you see, what you see in a flat sample book vs. what the sun shines through..." The price is steep, but... not deadly, and then - "Actually, I can re-use the frame from one that broke, and that will make it faster too...." And it's knocked down a peg in cost.

"Sound fair?"

Gwen has enough for that, though it's a bit above what she may have budgeted.

"Frankie-stein, guess who's next for Santa?"

It's true! Frankie is next!

Trina recognizes that twinkle-eyed jolly old elf in the Santa chair - though it takes her a moment, what with recognizing him WITHOUT a horse in front of him. Dolph gives her a wink. His beard is marvelous - why he even WINCES as the toddler on his lap shrieks in joy and yanks at it! It's real! Or at least, really growing from his chin at the moment!

It's HER Yule too, and I did gget a discount on the oher She looks to the Eshu, thenn back o the Dreamer "Deal."

A flash of a smile at the boggan.

Money is exchanged, and Gwen has two presents down!

Marigold - that is, mom - had already told her that if she wants, she can help with baking treat baskets for gifts as well, so there is that option too!

"Come on up here, you must be Frankie." Dolph says in a kindly tone. The kid goes WIDE EYED. "TRINA. He Knows my NAME!"

"He's Santa. Duh!"

A GULP, and Frankie goes up. Soon he is deep in conversation with Ol' Saint Nic.

Gwen moves on , she has instructions for those two gifts... now to narrow it down.

An unauthorized booth has been set up, whether the authorities will stop it or not remainns to be seen Mistletoe Kissing booth . 1 dollar for kiss. and to the side, another sign : Profits go to horse rescue:

And there is Dee, drum outfit gone to reveal an athletic lass in elf ears and a santa cap

A pat on the head, and Frankie is sent back, all smiles. Dolph calls to Trina, "Are you ready to visit santa, young lady? You don't have to sit on my lap, but my ears are always open."

"I'm.. good? Got shopping to do!"

She sticks on a smile. A hand reaches out to touch the little dragon. "Got a glassmaker to see."

He chortles. "Take this." He offers out a candy cane.

The nevers shriek tinkling bells of excitement! SPICY SUGAR!

She rolls her eyes with amusement, and sacrifices the candy. "C'mon, Frankie-stein. Let's go look at things!"

"yeah!" He grins and bee-lines towards the shiniest toy booth he can find.

Then, he stops, and gives Trina a look. "What do dads like?"

"Well, coffee? And bacon. And golf."

She glances over at the glassblowing eshu.

"Ha!" Rochallor calls out as he made a funny face on the tree with the tinsel
