He's walking, headed from work to Cissie's even though he's not sure if she's in. He probably ought to make a habit out of texting her before he leaves, so he's not stuck wondering if he's gonna end up sitting outside of High Gate Terrace waiting for her to come home. He could always drop in on Jesse while he waits, but they're not exactly the best of mates and Chris doesn't know if he'd be alright with it, in the end.

Either way, that's the plan for the evening, and he thinks he'll see if she wants to get take away or something.

At least, it's the plan before he glances up from his phone and sees Eduardo in a shop as he passes. It doesn't even occur to him what sort of shop it is before he walks in and sees all the displays of jewelry and rings and stuff.

"But my birthday's not for fuckin' months," Chris teases, walking up to Wardo as he looks at one of the displays.

It's well weird that it's been that long. Chris thinks he's known Olive since before she and Eduardo were together, so he feels a bit... involved with it, somehow. Like he's responsible. Not that he shoved the two of them together or even knew Eduardo at first, but it feels like that, just the same.

"Yeah, that'd be shit," Chris agrees, "It'd cut down on the presents though. Like, in the future. One less date to keep in your head, yeah?"

"Yeah, true," Eduardo says, though he has a feeling he'd probably just get her double the presents for it if that were the case anyway. It's not like he puts a hell of a lot of stock into material things, and he knows Olive doesn't really, either, at least as far as quantity is concerned, but it's not like he can't afford it, so there wouldn't be much of a reason not to, either. "I think I've got to settle on a ring before I start thinking too much about that, anyway."

"Don't buy one that's massive though," Chris says, offering his advice even though Eduardo hasn't asked for it. But he knows his mate has got like, fuckin' loads of money, so if he wanted, he could do just that. But as long as he's known Olive, she's never seemed like someone who'd want one.

Plus, there's this other thing.

"I heard somewhere that chickens like shiny stuff, yeah? Don't wanna give Sean Parker ideas."

"You know, that's... actually a really good point," Eduardo says, laughing. He's not sure if Sean would actually go after an engagement ring, but Chris is right that chickens are attracted to shiny things. If nothing else, it's something to be careful about. But then, he wouldn't have wanted to buy Olive something enormous anyway. He knows her taste too well for that. "I will try to avoid picking out anything that Sean Parker might be too drawn to."
