[25th, closed to Kazuma]

[It's Christmas day in the Mikotoba household, and no such celebration would be complete without their adoptive family member. For that reason, presents have not yet been opened and instead lie ready in a corner of the living area, the wrapping paper almost beckoning the curious gaze. The decorations in the house are minimal in number, though Yujin did learn a thing or two from the most recent dreamscape about crafting a strong Christmas aesthetic with bare essentials. Food has already been prepared for the most part by Susato; roast duck and an apple spiced tea. It only requires those few easy finishing touches, but it's not dinner time yet!

At the moment, they're still waiting for Kazuma to arrive.]


[26th, Cast Party]

[For today, the Mikotobas made sure to invite everyone they know from home to spend Christmas at their home. They have to stick together! While those who hail from London may have their own traditions regarding Christmas, they'll just have to make do with what's been set up! Yujin dragged in a small tree, there's hot cocoa for everyone and dinner will be later. After that, perhaps some drinks of the alcoholic variety for the adults? (Which means everyone except Susato, sorry!) The choices are between apple cider or wine, because we all know Van Zieks has a problem.]

Comments

[ ...Well, considering she was prepared to do it for him in full, that was probably more than she expected. She watches him try, as if daring for him to impress her (Sholmes' influnce is strong), but when he gives in, there is a brief yet affectionate roll of her eyes. ]

Of course. Come here.

[ She closes the distance between them and isn't shy about turning him around so that she has access to the back of his neck, where the two ends of the chain meet. From there, it is very simple for her to hook them together. ]

There. How is that?

[mychosenpath]

[He really needs to work on his skill set if he ever wants to impress anyone outside of the court room. It's a bit embarrassing, but he's extremely grateful for her help nonetheless.

Once she's finished, he looks down at it. It seems like the perfect length. Loose enough that it won't bother him if he wears it regularly, but not so long that it risks getting caught on anything too easily. Even so, once he's satisfied with it, he tucks it underneath his sweater. While he takes great pride in it, there is also something special about it that feels like it belongs to just the two of them. He doesn't need to flaunt it.]

Thanks. It's just right. Honestly though, I expected nothing less from you.

[judicialassistant]

[ Susato looks pleased too, admiring it in the moments before he tucked it beneath his sweater. Now that he's seen it, she supposes its safe to pull out her matching one. ]

Lucky, I suppose. I chose the same length as mine and just... hoped.

[ She unhooks her necklace, and rather than struggling with it at the back of her neck, she pulls the ends together in the front, where it's much easier. Then she turns te chain around so that the charm is in the front. ]

[mychosenpath]

[Chuckling at her choice of words, he shakes his head gently before looking at her matching one.

...aaaand the all-too-clever way she makes easy work of putting it on herself. He sticks that trick away for future use.]

Calling it "luck" is underestimating yourself a bit, I think. You have an eye for details, to say the least.

[judicialassistant]

[ Susato chuckles a little, too. She has never been one to take a compliment particularly well, but having an eye for details was something she was literally trained for, at least. ]

I am just glad it fits comfortably.

Please... make yourself at home. There are some snacks in the kitchen should you need some refreshments.
