♫ 11 (backdated to Christmas morning!)

[both_neither]

[Morning arrives in Paradisa and for once Gren can actually be found in the castle proper. It's Christmas, and there doesn't seem to be anything the castle can do to dampen his spirit, lingering ice-melt not withstanding. He'll be easy enough to find - stopping for a quick breakfast in the kitchen first on his way up through the hallways to deliver the few gifts he'd gotten people (there was no way he'd ask the ghosts to deliver them for him, after all). His ultimate goal is of course the room of his erstwhile comrade. He's already smiling to himself as he knocks on the door.]

((OOC: Open in person for all giftees and ambushing for last minute kissing shenanigans!))

[Teenager + Christmas gift = want! She starts tearing it open]

The outpost? Why? Trying to stay away from the nutcrackers?

[He grin as he watches her, genuinely pleased at her reaction]

Well, it helps, but it's not really the reason. I built something for a friend out there. The, uh, one I told you about.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Oh yeah? What did you make him?

[her voice fades as she pulls out the snowglobe and reassure the card. She laughs, beaming at him.]

Iove it! Thank you.

Our own private shooting gallery. With...uh...explosives thrown in. You know...for fun.

[He grins]

You're welcome.

[She whistles] That's one hell of a gift.

I've been learning how to fight but I've never used a gun... I'm not sure that I'd really want to.

It's not for everyone, but old habits die hard, I guess. And I know what he likes. We've been...well...we've known each for a few years.
