[ cute dumb children ]

[ 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. ]

Magic helps.

[grapesofyan]

Just sometimes.

[hasaringonit]

It is what enables me to be together with Kureshima-san, and as such it is enough for me.

[grapesofyan]

You could've stayed somewhere else.

[hasaringonit]

I chose to be where I was most needed.

[grapesofyan]

Mm. For that we're grateful.

[hasaringonit]

It is the least I could have done.

[grapesofyan]

It means a lot to us.

[hasaringonit]

I believe the phrasing is "the feeling is mutual".

[grapesofyan]

Right.

[hasaringonit]

Kureshima-san is important to me, after all.

[grapesofyan]

Definitely the feeling is mutual.

[hasaringonit]

That is all that is really necessary.

[grapesofyan]

It sounds so simple.

[hasaringonit]

Sometimes the simplest answer is the more correct answer.

[grapesofyan]

I guess so. It's surprisingly easy to miss.

[hasaringonit]

Humans tend to be overly complicated creatures; always making things more difficult for themselves even when they do not intend for it.

[grapesofyan]

That's certainly true.

[hasaringonit]

It is not such a bad thing.

[grapesofyan]

It can cause a lot of trouble.

[hasaringonit]

Mm. There is a delicate balance; being able to focus on the big and the small at the same time without becoming too overwhelmed.

[grapesofyan]

Mm. You have to be careful not to get lost in your own head.

[hasaringonit]

That is why it becomes necessary to have a ground. A tether, as it were. Something innocuous to focus on so such things do not happen.

[grapesofyan]

Do you think I have that?

[hasaringonit]

Everyone has one, or a can find one. A person or object or place they can always go back to.
