While I can't speak for other worlds, in Auldrant we celebrate the "new year" in the middle of winter, shortly after the longest night. It's a bit different from the way things work here...but regardless, I am curious as to how many other worlds share a similar tradition.

[filtered to the Auldrant folks with whom she has made conversation]

Would you like to have dinner, at this house, for the new year? We have some new arrivals, and I think it might be good for all of us to visit with each other. ...You are, of course, free to decline. It's just a thought.

[and further filtered, away from Asch and Luke]

...And to an extent I thought we might...be able to celebrate. Even if time here is a bit different.

[Then? Then she's out and about town, doing things. She'll stop at the bakery, the grocery store...briefly at the battledome, pausing at the programming station but not really doing anything there. Once, she thinks about visiting Professor Nebilim, but she can't be sure of how late the woman stays at the school after class, and she wouldn't want to interrupt.

In short, she's a little bit of everywhere, ending that evening at Good Spirits. For a change of pace. And a drink, of course. Facades can be such a strain on the system.]

Now, Nephry. You make it sound as if I'm one of those who's going to 'misbehave'.

Oh? And who's presence would make you believe I would make me misbehave? [Besides his own. Really he just wants to make her say it.]

I've behaved myself thus far, haven't I? [Mostly. At least that you're aware of.]

Of course not! We're the best cooks in the house anyway!

[Well, Luke would never turn down an opportunity to be with his Aulrant peeps, especially if it's over an Auldrant holiday.]

That sounds like a great idea! Do we need to bring anything, or...?

[In a moment, it'll come to him that... certain people he does not want to be there will be there.]

That's correct.

[She should elaborate more, but for the moment doesn't have the words. She'll let that sink in for a moment, anyway.]

You will have it, Nephry, I assure you. So long as you, Jade, and the professor are present, I suppose it will not be a complete waste. [Dist pauses, and something comes to him just then. Something that pulls a smile to his face. An honest smile.]

...It will be rather enjoyable, to share company with everyone again, after so long.

[It's something he's dreamed of.]

That's too bad. I know I haven't been here long, but I've already heard about a couple holidays other worlds celebrate - Thanksgiving and recently something called "Christmas". They seem like they'd be a lot of fun.

[Have a "hm"-ing sound. A pot luck is one thing, but he has no idea what everyone else's tastes are in food. What do lords and princesses normally eat anyhow?] Sure, I wouldn't mind, although I can't guarantee it'll be anything fancy.

I see... you mentioned the possibility of it before. If he is willing to offer a truce, hopefully it means that he's rational enough to realize that antagonizing anyone here has little point. [Unlike some people.]

I'll, uh... get something from the bakery. [Because Asch lord knows that he can't cook well at all.]

Oh. Then... what else do you think I can bring?
broji: (ah sorry!)

I know, but still... [The beginning of a protest over here. In Sheridan, sand is an everyday (unintentional!) condiment, and you cook on the fly (sometimes literally). But for parties you expect something a little nicer, don't you? And he doesn't want to just bring in some kind of cooked vegetable again.]
