[It was strange to think that Christmas was coming up already, when in her world it had been summer. It was even stranger to think of passing that holiday without her mother or sister around her.
The florist's shop is usually a nice respite from daily life, but right now the flowers just remind her of things she couldn't give those she actually cared about. But maybe getting some flowers to brighten up her own place would help her brighten her mood.
Something with red and white flowers, to remember her sister by? She stares down the flowers like they might somehow make the decision for her, when Cole seems to appear from nowhere. Mio starts in surprise and stares at him for a long moment, as if trying to determine who he is or what he wants (mostly it's just he evokes a strange feeling that's both familiar and not and makes the butterfly bruising at her throat throb strangely), before remembering that in polite human society, you should probably acknowledge when you're spoken to.]
I... Yes? [Baffled, Mio reaches for the bouquet and then hesitates] How did you know?
