"What if Christmas," he thought,"doesn't come from a store?"

Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. The low-income borough of Lambeth has been largely taken over by London's mutant population and is now known as Mutant Town.

"Again, not a critique." He replied without getting distracted from his meal.

"But pillows and mattresses in places this expensive are always protected with waterproof covers. All we need to do is change out the sheets and we can do as we please. Including with your sleeping decisions." He added casually. "Then when we're done, we put their linens back on and no one will ever know what sorts of behaviors we got up to."

Colette's already pink face managed to flush crimson even without the pomegranate juice. She didn't reply, she just drank an entire glass of water instead, her hair beginning to fill out.

"Only all of ze zings a typical tourist would want to do. It would be lovely to visit ze palace, especially since it is so close." Colette wasn't looking quite so red anymore, even with some of the juice put away inside of her. The girl had a voracious appetite this morning, but then again she had a lot of mass to regain.

"But if zat is a little too mundane, I would razer enjoy seeing some of your favorite spots. Ze insider's tour of London."

Once they were fed they went for another little ride. With the traffic, Basil decided to take her just two places, both of which were linked to one another in his lifetime.

He found a parking space after some to do.

"We'll have to walk just a bit from here." He said. The busy Christmas shoppers didn't seem to notice Colette enough to stare at her rudely, too busy milling about their business to be concerned about an invisible man and a mostly covered and clothed Jelly-Baby.

After a few blocks of walking, Basil stopped outside an establishment.

"Here. This is my second favourite place in London." It was a rather plain looking storefront, currently decorated for the season with copies of Christmas favourite like 'A Christmas Carol', 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' and 'The Polar Express'.

Basil hadn't gone in, he was just staring at it.

Colette was easy to overlook; bundled up as she was only her face showed her true visage as the rest of her was covered in layers to help her keep her body heat up. That and the hot water bottle Basil had gotten to see suspended in her midsection. She clung to his arm every bit like the stereotypical sacrinine couple; after all he could keep her safe but also warm. Somehow being ignored by everyone felt... good? Like she wasn't as different as she had built herself up to be.

She stood with Basil in front of the shop for a little time. The storefront was vaguely familiar to her, and she realized that it was one of the places - or rather the impression of the place - that she had passed while running around inside Basil's head during his crisis. She rested her head against his shoulder before she finally spoke.

"You really do know your way around a woman's heart, Basil. A book shop surrounded by restaurants and candy shops. I do not zink I will want to return to ze campus after zis."

Basil laughed at her observation. "They don't let people live on the streets in Kensington dear." He replied as he opened the door for her.

Inside wasn't glamorous either, not that different than one was used to from a proper bookstore. Clean, organized, and well stocked, but not particularly fancy given the neighborhood they were in.

"Sooo... here we are." Basil said. There wasn't much to say about the place really. His attachment to it had nothing to do with anything beyond personal feelings, so now he was a bit confused on how to proceed.

"Should we... get a book?"

"Maybe we could move into ze storeroom. It would be just like an episode of Black's Books... except you're about ze opposite of Bernard. Same initials zough."

It could have been a garage sale and Colette would have been impressed, the girl not having much experience in shops.

"I zink zat would be appropriate, given zat zis is a bookshop." She sported a cheeky little grin, giving Basil's hand a squeeze. "Why do we not try to find one for each ozer?"

Colette wandered around the little shop, picking up books seemingly at random and reading the book jackets. After a good half an hour spent browsing in which she bumped into Basil a couple of times she approached him with a little stack in her arms.

"I am not certain if you have read any of zese yet, but zey reminded me of you." Colette had four different books, some of which were more related to bibliophiles than others.

"Mmhmn!" He replied cheerfully.

" Despite it being about an orphan, it's a very wholesome and positive story. So much so it gets labeled as a children's book despite it being written for adult readers.

The heroine is quite spunky in the magical girl kind of way, though there's no actual magic.

I think you'll enjoy it."

"I zink I can manage wizout it for anozer hour at least." Colette joked at her own expense, handing the book back to Basil as the two of them approached the counter. She was slowly warming up to the idea of letting Basil pay for things, even if it did make her feel like a gold digger sometimes.

Basil did pay, and the two of them exited the shop arm in arm. Basil took her back the direction they originally went, but turned off half way down another street. A few minutes later they were passing by a large building with ice skaters outside of it. He didn't seem to be stopping however, passing by the large crowd and deeper into the park they now seemed to be in.

It wasn't until they stopped in front of a well tended pond with a few ducks still hanging around despite the winter weather. The waterfall was still working but most of the plants were dead at this point in the year, and there were a few benches to sit but no one was here at the moment but them. Apparently the ice skating had most peoples attention.

"Well... here we are. Not much to look at i'm afraid."

The bench too was familiar, another piece of imagery borrowed from the real world in Basil's mind.

Of course Colette was looking in just about every direction as the two of them passed by the skating rink, the building a mixture of aged ornate and slick modern architecture. When the two of them approached the pond she grew quiet and took it all in. She could only imagine what it must look like in the summer, with the pants in full bloom and the pond boasting colourful ducks and perhaps even some swans.

"It is lovely, Basil. We simply must come back in the spring. I could pack a picnic, and we could spend ze afternoon just laying in ze grass, listening to music and reading books and feeding ze ducks." The wistful tone to her voice made it sound as though she were describing some fantasy vacation to an island resort or something.

"Zis place is very important to you, is it not?" She gently rubbed his arm, trying not to pry too much.

"Zese memories sound like zey are bittersweet for you, Basil." Colette shifted to hug the young man from behind and rested her head against his back. "But I am very happy zat you chose to share zese places wiz me.Zey mean a lot to you, and now zey mean a lot to me as well."

She stretched herself up slightly so that she could speak softly into Basil's ears, opting to lengthen her legs rather than stand on her tiptoes. "Perhaps we should pay your parents a visit, pop in unannounced for a cuppa? As zey are so close..." The girl was obviously teasing him, trying to cheer up his dose of self-reflecting melancholy with a little bit of the local language.

Basil thought about saying something self-deprecating back, but knew it's spoil her mood. Instead he turned his head towards hers and gave her a peck on the forehead.

"Anyways...
I saw you eyeing those skaters. Did you want to try?"

"Of course." Basil gave his secret place another look over for several moments, then turned away.

The two of them went through the normal procedure for ice skating, such as renting the shoes and what not. Basil let Colette pick out her own size since he figured what she was most comfortable with shoe wise should be left up to her.

He sat next to her as his tied up his skates in a chair outside the rental booth.

"You want them tight to be flush against your skin." He replied. "This will cause your legs to support themselves on the blades."

Colette had the opposite approach to making sure that her skates fit properly. She chose a pair and just filled them to their maximum capacity, the adopted that opaque bubblegum density under her stockings. How well this would work on the ice was yet to be seen. The girl stood up and wobbled as though she were wearing heels for the first time.
