[ 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. ]

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.

[grapesofyan]

*Bows his head, smiling*

We all seem to have this problem with thinking for ourselves.

[hasaringonit]

It is for my family.

[grapesofyan]

That's what you consider Niisan and I as?

[hasaringonit]

Somehow, Kureshima-san and Kureshima-oniisan have come to be counted as such.

[grapesofyan]

Ah... why?

[hasaringonit]

You both have shown me much kindness.

[grapesofyan]

It still sounds strange hearing that in regards to us.

[hasaringonit]

[ squeezing his hand again ]

It is still strange to think in that manner. That a being such as myself could have those called "family".

[grapesofyan]

It's wonderful though.

[hasaringonit]

Mm. I could not ask for anything more.

[ She has a thoughtful look on her face, and then-- ]

What is it that Kureshima-san would like to have?

[grapesofyan]

Eh? What do you mean?

[hasaringonit]

For Christmas.

[grapesofyan]

You don't have to.

[hasaringonit]

I want to.

[grapesofyan]

I'm not sure what I want to be honest...

[hasaringonit]

Nothing at all?

[grapesofyan]

There probably is something but I can't think of anything at the moment.

*It also probably doesn't help being one of the richest people in the city*

[hasaringonit]

Mm. I suppose I have put Kureshima-san on the spot.
