Rosalind Lutece shared a photo.
11/10 near Viea Village

Well. Unless someone else has gotten an entire house from Retrospec, I rather think I win. In bragging rights, if nothing else.

[There's a pause, and then Rosalind adds a few photos: these ones, specifically, that I'll link so I don't spam yall. also ETA: there's no wires or pipes and certainly no giant machine in the midst of all this; it's just an ordinary house. ...with a giant hole in the second floor.]

That being said: points off for the giant gaping hole in the second floor.

Stay with you as in...stay over? For the duration? Or...

If you'd like. You hardly have to, but given neither of us have families here (beyond Katherine and her parents, but frankly, I'd rather not spend the entire holiday with them).

That sounds rather domestic.

Do I get my very own stocking on your mantel, as well?

If I say yes, are you going to be cheeky about it?

I promise I'll refrain from making any references to it being stuffed, innuendo or otherwise.

I'm so very proud.

I'll likely be heading to Katherine's house in the afternoon, but beyond that, I'm all yours.

I'm afraid I don't know very much about how it's celebrated in Japan, beyond that it's more a commercial affair than anything to do with religion. But if you'd like anything in particular, now's the time to say, or else we'll have ourselves a very English Christmas.

We're not much for Christmas DAY, proper, but Christmas Eve is another story. It's rather one of the biggest holidays for couples out of the whole year.

Everyone goes on dates with their significant other, and so on.

Ah.

And would you like to?

Is that much in line with a proper English Christmas? I was under the impression yours involved going to bed early to await St. Nicholas coming down your chimney.

I can make an exception for one Christmas. Besides, who says I shan't head to bed early? I simply won't do it alone.

You are also supposed to be ASLEEP when Santa comes, little girl.

You know better than anyone I'm not good at doing what I'm told. Though I suppose someone will simply have to come and check, hm?

You're incorrigible.

Yes, let's go out on Christmas Eve. I like the sound of that.

/You/ started it.

Dress up. We'll go somewhere nice for dinner.

And what color shall I wear?

Blue. To celebrate the fact we have it back, and to match me.

I'm jealous. Your eyes are back to normal, and mine are still the same distressing gray.

But on the other hand, I get the pleasure of seeing yours as they should be, so it's a give-and-take situation, I think.

I'll start a petition soon. I miss seeing your green eyes.

Though "distressing" isn't the word I'd use. You're hardly some hideous monster with grey eyes; it's simply a different appeal, that's all.

It's a little distressing when you still sometimes expect to see green and then don't.

...

Odd, though, that it's a little thematic this way, isn't it? Like this they're grey or silver. Transformed they turn gold, don't they?

They do. And it's a fairly good indicator of your moods sometimes, or when you're feeling particularly demonic. I get a warning before Youko arrives, which is for the best, frankly.

When I'm feeling particularly demonic?

Do you remember a few days ago, when we were lazing in bed in the morning and you started biting at me?

I would be hard-pressed to forget something like that.

Yes, you and I both. Don't take this the wrong way, I quite enjoyed it. But the moment you started getting possessive about it your eyes changed. Your voice got a bit lower, too, though at the time I assumed you were doing that deliberately.

Well. That's...unusual, to say the least, but I'm hardly surprised by it, either.

Have you observed that happening often?
