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.]

Dinner, you say? Sounds entertaining. Has anyone declined yet? [Asch was certain to be difficult, and Dist probably wasn't going to find this a very enjoyable idea either. And if Asch found out that this was to be a birthday party, well...]

Who will be making the preparations? I suppose you intend certain celebrations to be a surprise?

...I didn't mean any sort of large or elaborate celebration, for them. Just something in acknowledgment. Certainly nothing embarrassing or forward.

But why not? Surely the two would appreciate all the hard work.

Because I prefer to err on the side of the simple, I guess.

I suppose simplicity should be something highly valued... Considering the company you expect to have present. [Seriously, when had things ever been simple to this group?]

I've given everyone the option of not attending. Arriving anyway means agreeing to behave.

[That includes you.]

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

Given some of the expected company, I'm not sure you won't.

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.]

Luke, Asch, Saphir, Anise...there are many choices.

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

The temptation to do something unfriendly might just be too much for you.

[In some small way she's just bantering.]
