[ 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. ]

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.

[grapesofyan]

Sometimes it's a lot.

[hasaringonit]

I am glad Kureshima-san has come to see this.

[ tugging him towards the front doors ]

There should be a large wreath just here.

[grapesofyan]

There's more?

[hasaringonit]

[ she seems a little hesitant now ]

Is it too much?

[grapesofyan]

Not at all! I like the surprise.

[hasaringonit]

Should there be more?

[grapesofyan]

If you want to.

[hasaringonit]

I do not know how much is too much.

[grapesofyan]

Did you enjoy decorating?

[hasaringonit]

Mm. It is ... [ she's pausing for a moment to think of the word she wants to use ]

... Relaxing, I suppose.

[grapesofyan]

Then let's do more!

[hasaringonit]

It would not become too gaudy?

[grapesofyan]

Not at all. I like what you've done here. I trust you.

[hasaringonit]

I will do my best to ensure it suits Kureshima-san's tastes.

[grapesofyan]

Don't worry about us. This is your project.

[hasaringonit]

Kureshima-san and Kureshima-oniisan should have a say, as well.

[grapesofyan]

Fine. But remember to think about yourself too.

[hasaringonit]

It is not only for me.
