[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?]

Do you have someone important to you as well, Kaori?

[seiriald]

... I used to... that person is gone...

[She'd had a crush on Masude, but he was dead, and there were those lingering feelings from her memory loss months before arriving in Luceti. Which probably meant that whoever that person had been, they were gone now, too.]

[ledbythewind]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up a painful subject for you.

[seiriald]

It's okay, there's no use in treading around what to say. [That doesn't ebb the anger churning inside her, though she's doing a good job of hiding it right now.]

[ledbythewind]

No, I should have been more thoughtful about what I said. Forgive me.

[seiriald]

Richard, you don't need to apologize. It has nothing to do with you. [Then again she has no way of knowing he's Human over the journals.]
