[Katrine Dmitriev]

Katrine had just finished with the final touches to the front window display for her new, mysterious collection. Glancing out the vast glass, she saw Virgil and Lesallia a fair distance away, so she slipped away from the patterned backdrop she had set behind her freshly dressed mannequins and exited her store.

Waving her arms eagerly, she shouted toward her two friends, “Hey Virgil, Lesallia! Do you guys have a moment to spare so that we can chat?”

“Sure, come walk with us,” Lesallia replied with a welcoming sweep of her arms.

As they walked off toward the park, Virgil piped up, “So what’s up, Katrine? Is something wrong?”

“Not really, I just finished setting up a new selection of items and was about to go see if any of you also got some new...“ She trailed off, seeing the irked glances being exchanged by her friends on either side of her.

Letting out a quiet sigh, Virgil spoke up, “So you got stuff too, huh? I wonder what's going on lately. All three of us have gotten new merchandise, but who's doing all this?”

“Whoever they are, we’ll catch them eventually. It’s not like they could be a chameleon or something,” Katrine said as she pulled them along the path. They could enjoy the rest of the afternoon together by the lake and leave the mystery for another day.
