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.]

I already stated that I would attend, and I'm a man of my word! B-Besides, if anything, I have you, and the Professor, and Jade's company to look forward to.
[Auldrant Filter]
And we have yours, I hope.

...It will be rather enjoyable, to share company with everyone again, after so long.
[It's something he's dreamed of.]

...What I meant to say is it will be pleasurable to be with you, Jade, and the Professor. The others, I'm sure, will feel something similar.
[But he won't. Towards them at least. Dist can't help but feel disjointed from the others, except perhaps one or two people.]
[Auldrant Filter]
I will be happy to spend time with any of you.
[Life in the snowy north is lonely. Life here is...not. She doesn't appreciate it enough, sometimes.]
