[ti]open[/ti][OPEN] Smile and Wave

Meanwhile, Kit was just walking through the Pokemon Center itself, seemingly overwhelmed by the amount of stuff available for purchase, even with inconspicuous clothing - a sweatshirt, breathable pants, rounded glasses (goodness, she felt like clark kent at this point, no one treated her different ever since she began to wear these things - it was either that or the fame behind her appearance had faded away in its entirety - or, most logically and hopefully, both, thank goodness.)
Sure, she did have a bit of money, which she could have used to pay...but, instead, her aunt paid out of pocket for the tickets, plus the reservation of the hotel block...so she wasn't about to spend it all on Pokemon merchandise - not when she had no idea what to even get. Maybe a pin, a pen, something a bit simple yet practical?
Maybe something for home...?
Her thoughts wandered as she walked through the aisles, noting the cookware and kitchenware specifically.

'Aunt Charlie would probably like a spoon rest...it's the least I could get her, as a thank you.'  But a simple thank you would maybe need a card...or maybe something else attached with it? 
Soon, Kit had not only a spoon rest, but salad plates too, in a simple reusable bag - the latter gift was a bit more expensive, yes, but it was a convention that Aunt Charlie wanted to go with 'her lovely niece'. She could spend a bit more. Not a lot, she wanted to be a little frugal. But a bit more.
Eventually, the bluette made her way to the stuffed animal section, staring at the options available. What could she get? Who could she get? She didn't really know a lot of Pokemon, but-
From her peripheral vision, a blue penguin. A big blue penguin - like the one on Professor Ash's starter poster... 'Piplup.' She thought.
Perhaps the plushies would have to wait - maybe instead of a plushie...perhaps a picture of her with the Piplup?
Mind set up, she began to walk over to the big penguin. Hopefully there wasn't a huge crowd...

Noting the wiggling flipper, Kit would opt to do a little wave back. Now that she was closer, and could see the penguin a bit better, she did have to admit. It was kinda cute! But...right - remember why you're here, Kit. The bluette would take out her phone, quickly swipe to the camera app, and (after turning off flash; the darn bulb strained her eyes, nevermind how it would strain the penguin), would opt to ask the Penguin Pokemon, unknown to the fact that there was probably someone inside:
"Would it be all right if I take your photo?"
Sure, it was a little silly to ask a big blue penguin walking around a center whether they wish for their photo taken - but formality was something that was freely given in her case, and it was always best to be nice to those around you.
