"Oh, you don't have to get me anything." That's what he was wondering about, right? It doesn't occur to him that he would be considering Johnny, especially after what happened between them. "Let's start little and work our way up. I assume you don't want to give your fellow buskers anything too extravagant. Something that shows you care, but not in a way that makes them think you've been secretly stalking them on Facebook." He smiles and tilts his head across the street.
"Follow me, I have an idea." Gabriel weaves around a few annoyed drivers caught in traffic and waits for The Balladeer to follow before the ducks into another shop. This one seems geared towards tech, but also novelty items.
Gabriel walks past the RC helicopters and a massage lounge chair to paint The Balladeer to a shelf filled with little colorful items. "So. hand warmers! What do you think? Good for keeping in your pockets and keeping your musical fingers from snapping off." He points to a line of boxes with different colored metal inside. "The classic Zippo. They use fuel and stay warm a long time." he moves down the shelf and picks up a different box to read the back. "These charge off your computer, that's cool."
He sets that down and grabs up a box with stars and hearts on it. "These ones work by Exothermic Crystallization." He opens up the package and pulls out a soft star-shaped plastic container filled with yellow gel and pokes at the little metal disc floating inside of it. "Which is a fancy phrase for 'the stuff inside hardens and heats up'. You flip a little thing inside and then it changes completely." He smiles and tosses the hand-warmer towards The Balladeer. "Sound familiar?"
