[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.]

[ Ah... it was that obvious, was it? Well, Susato has never been one to hide her feelings, and she always tries to be direct when she can, so it isn't a surprise. She looks sheepish, as if something on the ground had suddenly become very interesting. ]

...A little. I don't have any experience in this field of work, I'm afraid, so everything I learn, I will be picking up on the fly.

I am eager to help him, really I am, but... I do hope I won't hold them back.

[Starting any sort of new work can definitely be intimidating, but Vigil believes that she'll be great at this-- if through sheer determination and studious behavior. He's honestly not worried, but he gets the anxiety she holds about all this. It's stressful to think about disappointing something important to you...]

You'll do just fine, Miss Mikotoba. [He feels his eyes close just briefly, but he still smiles in a reassuring manner.]

Starting a restaurant isn't easy, I believe that Mr. Asogi is just glad to have your support.

[judicialassistant]

[ Even though Vigil is totally just saying that, they are words she admittedly needs to hear. She tries to take comfort in that, holding them close. ]

Thank you... I believe he is glad, too. [ Otherwise, he would have never ran with the idea, right? It is just a matter of whether or not her support will be worth anything, in the end. But she is determined to make it worth something. ]

In any case, please make yourself at home. I've set out snacks in the kitchen, if you are hungry. You are welcome to stay for as long as you're comfortable.

[buriedvigil]

[He's definitely going to visit now. Maybe it'll be a nice pub to go to on a weekly basis or something, just to see how they're doing in all this. Perhaps he'll be able to watch the business grow, and alongside that, Mr. Asogi and his friends.]

I thank you and Mr. Mikotoba for your kind hospitality once more. [Vigil bows again, still holding the present she's given him in his hands.]

I'm sure there are more guests that are arriving soon and it'd be rude of me to hold you up any longer.

[judicialassistant]

[ Her lip twitches into a smile. Likewise, she still has the tea he gifted her, which definitely belongs in the kitchen. ]

You are just as much our guest as the rest. [ It's just van Zieks and Ryunosuke, anyway... they haven't exactly invited all of Reverein. Either way, she does still have to be a good hostess. She bows. ] I will not be far, however. If you'll excuse me...
