xxxiii λ christmas

It has been a good day!

[He's a touch tipsy :')]

I rather like this Christmas. You see, in my time, gifts are usually only given between landlords and their tenants, so it is sweet to see that everyone is so generous in the future.

However, I rather prefer it as Novena, in which we have fun for eight days, and into the New Year.

Also, the man who first created la presepe -- a nativity scene -- was an Italian! He may not have been a Florentine, but Italian will have to do. Yet one more thing you should thank Italia for! We may as well have invented Christmas for you all.

And while we are on the subject: why have I not see any presepe here? You should get on that, fellow residents, it is not too late! At worst, if we cannot find any sculptors amongst our lot, we can just have some dress up in costume and pose for some time in the lobby.

[Yeah, tipsy.]

But even so... to my friends, grazie per la tua amicizia in my first year in Paradisa. I hope there will be more to come!

How far from the castle are you?

I'm in the castle.

When for what reason would I have legwork to do?

I am in one of the towers. That's a bit of legwork.

Ah, but that is no concern to me. I live in a tower.

Then you are accustomed to such distances. That must be in my favor.

Do you never leave your room, dolcezza?

I leave my room plenty of times. I went skating the other day, even.

ANd surely you took the stairs?

[Teasing]

I took the window.

[she teases back, but then after a beat.]

Would you prefer I do the legwork?

I have no demand for what you do with your legs, dolcezza, but I certainly have a preference.

Would you care for company this evening? I could assure you my legs would be more than willing to bring me to you.

[A groan, but a longing one.]

I wish, Katherine. I have a girlfriend now, so if we meet, it must be in friendship.

Staying on the path of loyalty? How honorable. [She's amused.]

Though, I would say your gift giving needs to learn the definition of friends. [Though, she could try to introduce him to a lovely concept known as 'friends with benefits' which would be amusing all on its own.]

Ah, yes, I suppose that could have been a mixed signal...

I'm sure someone will enjoy it and if you want my company, even as just friends, you know I'll always offer it.

I would like your company.

Then you shall have it. [Now, it's her turn to tease.]

Shall I wear a large sweater and ensure none of my skin is exposed? I would hate to provide any distraction that was unwanted.

Well, you should tell me, you are the expert on future women. Would a woman from the 21st century frown on her boyfriend even LOOKING at another woman?

[She's curious now. What modern woman would he be dating?]

Well, is she the jealous type? Does she seem lacking in self-confidence or is it that you worry she doesn't trust you with other women?

I believe it is part that she does not trust me with other women, and part self-confidence... I think the world of her, but she is shy.

[It's nice to hear that he thinks the world of someone, though she's not sure how a shy, modern girl caught his eye... unless shy is code for something else.]

If you'd prefer not to risk worrying her, you know I'm a big girl, Ezio. You can tell me no.

I know that. I have just never tried to commit so... firmly, before.

Are you struggling with your choice or keeping true to it?

I have kept true.
