[Voice/Action] (backdated to Christmas morning)

[ledbythewind]

[There are the sounds of a somewhat muffled conversation in the background before Richard picks up the journal to address it, a clear undercurrent of happiness and slight excitement to his voice.]

So this is what they refer to on Earth as a "white Christmas." I've read that this sort of Christmas is the best kind to have despite the weather... what do all of you think? Do you prefer the snow, or would you like a sunny day?

[He'll be sitting on the couch sipping a cup of tea while he waits for answers-- and his housemates, because IT'S CHRISTMAS AND HE IS EXCITED due to not having this holiday in his world. Might as well enjoy it while he's here, right?]

[Sorry Naoki, Richard is going to go look for you when he realizes that you're still asleep. It is a very comfortable bed, though, and Richard will be sitting on the edge of it before leaning down to give Naoki a gentle kiss.

Wakey wakey, boyfriend.]

[But but but sleep. It's what Naoki loves second-best.

One eye opens slightly at that kiss. Muffled--] Mmm... [--before he sleepily kisses back.]

[Is this worth waking up for? Richard rather hopes it is.]

The snow is perfect for Christmas! Everything looks all new and you get to stay inside and be comfy. [Can you tell she likes this?]

[ledbythewind]

Most of the books I've read about Earth agree with you on that. It seems like a snowy Christmas is the most traditional image of the holiday in most places. And I can't say I have any complaints about getting to stay inside either, not as long as you have good company to enjoy the weather with.

[seiriald]

Exactly! [Speaking of which, where's Spada to troll around with.] Who do you have over for company?

[generalflirt]

I like a White Christmas too...

[voice]

[ledbythewind]

Does it happen often where you live?

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Mm. Not like it does here, really. It snows more here.

[acclimatized]

Sunny. Definitely.

[ledbythewind]

You don't care for the snow?

[ written ]

[acclimatized]

Nope, not this much. A sprinkle here and there will be good enough for me.

Tao likes sun the best!

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I'm not surprised-- you seem like a very sunny person to me, Tao.

[Voice]

[catus_carnival]

Uh-huh! The village doesn't get a lot of the sun back home, meow.

[MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH I mean later that evening]

[ledbythewind]

[Don't mind Richard excusing himself to sneak into the bathroom and change, Naoki. Okay, so he was a little skeptical about this strange outfit he'd received from that statue in the middle of town, but after trying it on he'd decided that it didn't look so bad, and hey, maybe Naoki would like it.

Not that he's ever going to wear it out in public, though.]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[That's cool, Naoki's just finishing tidying everything and putting things away, feeling very content indeed. He sighs happily--this was a great Christmas, you know, so much better than last year and better than any other one he can remember--just about to wander back to their room.

He pauses; blinks around. Derp. Now where did he go?]

[ledbythewind]

[No worries, because he'll be making his way quietly back into the room while Naoki's back is turned before taking a seat in one of the chairs there, trying to hide his smile. Okay, so he doesn't need glasses and as a result these are making him a little dizzy, but it's a small sacrifice to make, right?]

I like the snow! Sure it's a little cold out, but there's so much you can do in the snow.

[voice]

[ledbythewind]

Like making snowmen and snow angels?

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Yup! There's more you can do, too, like having snowball fights or building snow forts.

...Christmas...

[ledbythewind]

Asbel?

[drawnbythesword]

...I was thinking... We don't have this 'Christmas' in our world, do we?
