Gaston was disappointed. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the shop itself, but... Well, he was a bit disappointed with his latest purchase. He had spotted it through the window of the Glass Bonsai and just had to buy it. The problem was, it wasn't what he had hoped for. To be fair, it looked almost identical to the magic mirror he had lost when he had first come to Paixao, but this one didn't seem to be able to show anyone anything. That was irritating, since Gaston had been hoping that he'd finally managed to recover the thing. Also annoying was the fact that he made himself look like an idiot in front of the shopkeeper by ordering the mirror to show him other people he knew in the city to no avail.

On the plus side, it was a perfectly good mirror and hadn't really cost that much. Gaston still wondered if it was the same one and just broken somehow. If so, maybe there was a way to get it fixed. He'd have to look for someone in the city who knew something about enchantments and magic, if such a person existed. It was worth a shot, anyway. It wasn't like he had anything better to do with his time.

He had just stepped out the door when he saw a familiar face, and not an especially welcome one at that. It was that loud green child-thing again. What was its name? Zing? Zilch? He didn't remember... All he recalled was Jack Skellington giving the kid a good scare the last time they'd met. Now THAT had been funny.

Hopefully, the little street urchin wasn't up to any more trouble today. Just to be on the safe side, though, Gaston decided to confront him. "So..." he said, marching over towards the miscreant. "What are you doing hanging around here today?"
