Eh, course no one's lookin' fer help with 'em blasted blue things about... but least I got an inklin' which ones will need a fella willing to put in some elbow grease when it's over.

I see that sentimental dribble is contagious here. Bah, is it really romantic to do that nonsense on a day set aside for it? Waste of time I say.

But still...

[he trails off, looking thoughtful]

Jest don't let it go to your heads kids, it ain't no fairytale.

[Gordon trudges in and flops down a few seats away. It's a point to the nature of this town and to all the strange things he's seen lately that when he looks over and sees the anthropomorphic duck with a Robitussin-thick Scottish accent sitting there reading the paper, the first thing he says is:]

Hey, can I borrow that section when you're done with it?

Sure thing, lad.

[Scrooge appreciates the lack of 'what? a talking duck?', apparently enough that when he is done, he puts the section back into it's proper order before handing it over to Gordon. Either that or he's that fastidious]

[He takes the paper section with a nod of thanks, and sprawls back in the chair to begin dissecting it again.]

So are there really jobs in here for anemoi? That's what I heard but the whole dynamic still seems a little... strange.

What better time to show off love than today? Love makes everything better!

It can also turn one into a mush-headed fool. Ye do realize that today's a conspiracy by the greetin' card and floral industry to wrangle yer every last red cent on sentimental trinkets.

I not stupid. Even a kid knows that, which is why Shampoo buys practical things like yarn or food to use as gifts. But as long as Shampoo's feelings are behind the gift, it's priceless!
