[ 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. ]

Really...?

[hasaringonit]

That Kureshima-san oftentimes seems more free. Less concerned with the world at large.

[grapesofyan]

That's when I get lost in the moment.

[hasaringonit]

It is lovely to watch.

[grapesofyan]

*Now he's blushing*

It's nothing really.

[hasaringonit]

It is more than I could hope to achieve.

[grapesofyan]

It's nothing I try to give too much thought. You help me a lot.

[hasaringonit]

[ HERE HAVE A HUG she's pretty sure she's making you sad again and sad Kureshima-san makes for sad Koyomi ]

[grapesofyan]

Koyomi-san?

[hasaringonit]

It's alright.

[grapesofyan]

Ah, thank you.

[hasaringonit]

Perhaps it is time for something warm to drink.

[grapesofyan]

Ah... right. We should have some new seasonal blends in the kitchen now.

[hasaringonit]

[ Taking his hand and leading the way! ]

Which would Kureshima-san prefer?

[grapesofyan]

Peppermint perhaps.

[hasaringonit]

Mm.

[ surely there is a place to sit him down somewhere in here while she goes to bustle about the kitchen getting things together--this electric kettle probably exists so she can give people warm things without burning their mouths off ]

[grapesofyan]

*Yes to all of these things but he's going to try to help her by getting the tea tray together. He feels weird enough about her helping him as much as she does*

[hasaringonit]

[ It makes her happy, so just roll with it.

Soon enough the tea will be steeping and she'll take a seat opposite him ]

Three minutes should do it.

[grapesofyan]

Thank you. *He helps himself to a gingersnap cookie*

[hasaringonit]

[ Time to pour the tea and she'll set it neatly in front of him ]

What was it like before? This holiday, I mean.

[grapesofyan]

What do you mean? What was Christmas like here?

[hasaringonit]

Yes, that is correct. You had said it was different.

[grapesofyan]

It would be just quiet. The staff would have the holiday off while Niisan and I are by ourselves. It's rare for him to take a day-off so that's how it's special for us.

[hasaringonit]

[ making a slight face ]

Kureshima-oniisan needs more rest, as well.

[grapesofyan]

That's always been the case with him.
