Christmas

[belovedeath]

Things have been so very quiet. I do have Christmas presents for Kenshin, Harry, Ren and Horo.

I really am sorry for my quietness. It seems that the season is less joyous when one is lacking in special things.

You...didn't have to go through any trouble for us Eliza.

[belovedeath]

Of course I did. You're family.

[tongari_shaman]

Family? But I... Thanks. I have something for you too.

[belovedeath]

Really? You didn't have to.

[tongari_shaman]

I know, but...well...

Merry Christmas.

[belovedeath]

Merry Christmas Ren.

[tongari_shaman]

Well, here. *handing over the small ringbox with a silver ribbon around it*

[belovedeath]

[Hands over a wrapped book and another wrapped thing.]

Thank you Ren.

[tongari_shaman]

You're welcome. [Is looking at the items a little suspiciously, but carefully opens the one marked for him anyway.]

[belovedeath]

[Opens the box and looks at the ring. When she sees the inscription she starts to cry.]

[tongari_shaman]

[Stops unwarpping the gift, blinks at the woman in front of his crying, immediately slapping himself mentally. Dammit, not good...]

E-Eliza...I'm sorry, I didn't think...

[belovedeath]

[Wipes away some of her tears.]

It's wonderful Ren.

[tongari_shaman]

[Relief is clear in his face, and he gives her a polite nod.]

Well...glad you like it. I just thought...I know you miss him, so...

[belovedeath]

[She's still sniffling and crying a bit.]

I do .... But he's probably better not being here.

[tongari_shaman]

[A little concerned, he gives her a worried look. Well, she didn't know what happened at home so...]

Are you going to be alright Eliza?

[belovedeath]

[She nods.]
