When Gabriel spotted the man, he could tell this guy wasn't your average Joe. There was something about him that screamed 'not
to be messed with," and you could see the guy getting visibly tenser.
"What's up?" Gabriel asked as he approached.
Sylvia quickly briefed him on what the man wanted.
Gabriel glanced at the clothes in the man's hand and then took Sylvia's hand firmly. "Sorry, but she's busy. You'll have to find

The man didn't dare to say anything else. He just nodded, "My apologies," and hurried off.
Sylvia couldn't help but laugh. "You really scared him off!"
Gabriel reached up and adjusted the beanie on her head. "Where'd you get this?"
"Just bought it!" Sylvia said, showing off the tassels. "Do you like it?"
Gabriel just stared at her for a moment, then offered her a box of seafood radish cakes. "Here, eat up!"
Sylvia saw there were five boxes in the bag and was surprised. "All this?"
Gabriel explained, "We might run into sfolks later. This way, they won't have to stand in line!"
Sylvia grinned. "Always thinking ahead, Mr. Carnes!"
Ignoring her teasing, Gabriel tugged at the pom-pom on top of her beanie and led her forward.
Not far ahead, they ran into Charlie James, cradling Kya, both of them watching a street artist make sugar figurines.
Sylvia put the beanie she'd bought for Kya on her, making her giggle as she played with the pom-pom.
Together, they waited for the sugar figurine to be finished. Sylvia shared Gabriel's seafood radish cakes with her, munching away
happily when Emily showed up with hot chocolates and lattes in hand.
Sylvia traded one of the seafood radish cakes for a latte.
Once the sugar figurine was done, Kya gifted Sylvia a little cat-shaped one.
—— The price is only 1/4 of what others charge ——
