So, I admit I'm borrowing this idea from Philotes (she is a lovely dear!), but should any of you be in the area of my shop today, do stop in for a free small assortment of chocolates! I'll also be giving them out to other customers--pick any six!

For those unable to make it, do let me know and I'll bring a bag back to the complex for you!

Please note: If you have a food or nut allergy, please let me know!

I will have to make a special trip down there. I have missed the simple pleasure of eating a piece of chocolate.

Would you allow me to take a few extra pieces with me? I would like to give some to Lady Artemis, and take some down to the nursing home I volunteer at as well. I think they would enjoy it. I don't need a terrible lot, and if I am over stepping my boundaries, do let me know.

You may, indeed, Penelope! It's quite kind of you to share brightness with the folks at the home and some with Artemis.

Do let me know how many you need for the nursing home and I'll have some bags made up for you.

Thank you, I truly appreciate it. I try to share with them as much as I can, as most get so little from their families.

There are about 20 residents that can have chocolate. The others are diabetic and sadly cannot enjoy things with sugar. Thankfully it is possible to buy sweets that are sugar free these days.

Oh! I was going to ask you about that, actually, since I know their health is closely monitored. I try to make sure to have an assortment of sweets for those who cannot have the regular sort. I'd hate for someone to not be able to enjoy such a simple thing!

It's not exactly the same, but it's truly close enough that even I indulge from time to time.

How many residents for those?

[pennywaits.livejournal.com]

There are 8 of them. Thank you again for this, I know they will love it.

[sweetlypretty.livejournal.com]

Anytime, Penelope. We all deserve a little happiness from time to time.

Are there any openings for other volunteers?

[pennywaits.livejournal.com]

They are always looking for people willing to spend time with the residents, it isn't the most popular thing to do these days.

[sweetlypretty.livejournal.com]

Which is a shame. I shall stop by this week. I'm in need of something more in my life and I'm sure the residents could use less time alone and lonely.

I won't be able to make it.

[he hesitates]

So will you please bring me some?

[There's an obvious smile in her voice, and that in itself is very sweet and pleasant]

I'd be glad to, Plutus! Is there anything in particular that you do not necessarily care for or would prefer?

[Voice]

[blindriches.livejournal.com]

You're too kind. [he pauses to think]

I like peanut butter and anything with nuts.

I've just the thing! In which apartment are you? I'll come by when I'm off.

[Voice]

[blindriches.livejournal.com]

I'm in 6B.

Thank you.

I would appreciate such a kindness to give to an old coworker, should that be permissible?

[sweetlypretty.livejournal.com]

Indeed! Are you considering anything in particular or a simple mix and match?

[onceimmortal.livejournal.com]

Mix and match would be wonderful, if that is an option. Do you have the kind with the things on top truffles?

[sweetlypretty.livejournal.com]

I do, I do! Will you be stopping by or shall I bring them?

[onceimmortal.livejournal.com]

I will most certainly find the time to stop by. Thank you.
