"Wow, those girl scouts must have seen you coming." Lucky tried not to laugh, though it was difficult considering not a week prior he had seen his aunt post a desperate plea on Facebook about the girls scout cookie shortage and how it had direct links to whatever conspiracy was holding her attention that month.

"I may or may not have been suckered into it by some of the kids in my class. I always try to help them out if they're fundraising, and they totally knew I have a weakness for sweets. They're just so cute, I couldn't say no to them, you know what I mean?" Additionally, Mar had missed so much time from her class this year due to doctor appointments and tests and scans that she felt the need to show her support in order to compensate, but that was a bit much to share. "Oh, the thin mints are all yours," she replied, pulling two boxes out of her bag and holding them outstretched for him to take. "And.... I'll be honest, I'll pass on the gum," she added with a laugh. "These would have gone to waste anyway so you're really just doing me a favor."

"Thin mints aren't my favorite. What else do you have?" She understands that the others weren't offered but maybe she could take one of each because it looked like she'd sold the whole girl scout cookie stand out. "I personally don't like them because they're actually little shits. I don't believe for a second that they don't know what they're doing and they'd do anything to get money. Plus those smiles are freaky" She looks over at them. "I'll still take their cookies though." She points to the extra ones.

Mar's brow furrowed as the other person described children as something comparable to gremlins. "It's a little weird we are teaching children capitalism, I'll give you that," she admitted. "But I don't know, I think they're so funny when they get all excited to sell you a box of cookies. Plus they always pull me in with the 'it's-for-a-good-cause' excuse." She opened her bag up wider so that all of the boxes were in plain view. "Honestly, feel free to help yourself, except for the Trefoils. Those are my favorite," she said.
