3rd [video]

Today is...

...that's right! Today is Krismas! [You heard right. She decided it to make it for herself.]

I suppose that means gift giving and all of that. Thankfully, I knew about my own holiday ahead of time so I prepared plenty of gifts to give. It's not that hard to make what you need here for that kind of thing, is it?

How should I give these out? You can come pick them up, if you want!

[No real choice here. Just ask for a gift and you shall receive, whether she knows you or not.]

But anyway, you're the nicest anyone has ever really been to me.

I can't be. What about the one who taught you to read? You magic teacher?

Yeah, it was him. But he wasn't really nice as much as...wanting to make sure what he knew didn't die with him, I guess.

...I can understand that. A little. Legacies are important.

[But was it better to have it suddenly forced upon someone, like with Kris, or raised to inherit it like Akiha? She didn't know the answer to that question.]

He took you off the streets, right? Clothed and fed you? Taught you a skill you could make a living with...

Mm, that's right.

That is better than anything I have done. He gave you a life and an education. [As poor as it may have been.] A purpose.

But you've done a lot for me out of kindness!

You have a very weird sense of kindness then.

As long as I'm happy, I'm okay with it. [To show how happy she is, she nuzzles Akiha.]

[That gets a grumble and Akiha ducks her head down to try and get away.]

Must you do that?

Yep!

[Which just gets more persistence in reply.]

Ugh! Stop it! [Which means Kris gets a hand in the face trying to push her away.] Be thankful I let you hug me; this is too much. We're not like that!

[He face struggles against Akiha's hand.]

Why aren't we like that?

Because you've never--!

[Akiha suddenly freezes as her mind catches up. And yup... that expression.]

I've never what?

N-nothing! I doubt you even realize what you just brought up.

[Wow did the tsun defense just kick in hard.]

I still don't really understand.

Do you even know what you asked?

I asked why we aren't like that. I don't know what that is but I want to know why.

...

[Seriously? SERIOUSLY? She was going to have to EXPLAIN it?]

Idiot.

[Akiha threw the blanket back and stalked across the room to her window where she crossed her arms and stared at the snow outside. And shivered.]

[Kris hopped up and headed over to Akiha. She was going to get cold like that!]

Is something wrong?

[SHE DIDN'T CARE.]

Yes. Your inability to be observant. Or maybe it's how you don't even realize the things that come out of your mouth. Maybe you never learned the concept behind varying relationships.

You can always tell me.

Tell you what, Kris? What is it you want me to tell you?

[Explosion imminent. Take cover!]

That you confuse the hell out of me because I can't ever tell what's real interest or what's that natural simplicity you're both blessed and cursed with? That I don't actually keep you around just for your blood? That it both infuriates me and impresses me that you've managed to get as close to me as you have despite my attempts to push you away? That sometimes I just want to curl up with you and pretend you're someone else at the same time not wanting to pretend? That I don't know how to deal with these feelings without getting violent?!

So what, Kris? What do you what me to tell you?

[She decides to grace that response with a hug.]

I think that's enough.
