[ cute dumb children ]

[hasaringonit]

[ Someone--not naming any names because it could've been staff or rich boys or maybe even a very tiny lady--has stuffed a giant and super classy tree strung with fairy lights and little bits of tinsel right smack in the middle of some big giant room in Casa de Kureshima.

Another someone--this one absolutely a very tiny lady--is trotting around its base carefully arranging perfectly wrapped gifts beneath it. A little bell in her hair jingles every time she moves, and overall she seems to be getting into the holiday spirit extremely well.

If anyone should need her, that's where they might find her. ]

[ That's an extra little squeeze to his hand ]

A new beginning can start at any time.

[grapesofyan]

Ah, true. You just have to feel ready for it.

[hasaringonit]

It does not hurt to have some festivity involved, however.

[grapesofyan]

Of course. It can put you in the mood.

[hasaringonit]

I will make the necessary preparations.

[grapesofyan]

I want to help.

[hasaringonit]

Of course. This is Kureshima-san's home, after all.

[grapesofyan]

This is your home too.

[hasaringonit]

Mm, it is my home now, as well.

[grapesofyan]

You'll always be welcomed here. *He squeezes her hand*

[hasaringonit]

I will be of assistance for as long as needed.

[grapesofyan]

Just your company would be enough for us.

[hasaringonit]

Boys get into too much trouble if left to their own devices.

[grapesofyan]

*laughs* Not all the time!

[hasaringonit]

No, I suppose not. Just most of the time.

[ and there's a sly little smile ]

[grapesofyan]

At the very least I can say I'm better about it now!

[hasaringonit]

For that, I am grateful.

[grapesofyan]

Thank you. Really. I've been trying.

[hasaringonit]

Kureshima-san has shown great strength and courage.

[grapesofyan]

What do you mean?

[hasaringonit]

It is far more difficult to face oneself than it is to face others.

[grapesofyan]

Ah... I suppose that's one way to look at it.

[hasaringonit]

[ He should know this tug tug tug very well by now ]

I have seen it.

[grapesofyan]

*He smiles*

I didn't think that's how it could look like.

[hasaringonit]

[ Don't make me climb you, fool boy ]

It is interesting what a little perspective will do.
