[Baroona is sitting at a desk, the camera angled so that a hand turkey and a large pile of books can be seen on the end of the desk. In front of Baroona are a messy array of crayons and blank paper which is, presumably, what he drew the turkey with. He's got his elbows on the table, looking both bored and frustrated, staring into the camera.]

[well Rain thinks the more important issue here is whether or not it can eat this orange crayon. because it's definitely trying to gnaw on it while Baroona's busy complaining about food holidays...]

[broroona]

[He tilts his head down at Blue, shooing him away with a gentle hand. To make up for it, he breaks off a section of a twinkie and offers it up.]

[soldieringblue]

[and while Rain is now working on getting fat, Blue drifts in, a little pinged by the frustration up in here.]

Baroona?

[broroona]

[He turns in his chair, idly scratching Rain under the chin while he eats.]

Blue?

[He glances at his... hand turkey. Dammit he should have locked the door.]

[soldieringblue]

[following the gaze to said hand turkey.

...he has no idea what to make of that, really. he doesn't even know what it is. besides kind of colorful.

he looks back at Baroona.] I thought something was wrong. I felt a strong thought of agitation from here...

[broroona]

[DOESN'T HE ALWAYS...Baroona glances down at Rain, almost guiltily. Almost.]

It's nothing.

[soldieringblue]

[a slight frown. oh. being denied the chance to talk about feelings. i see how it is...

he drifts inside, stopping at the edge of the desk and tilting his head at the turkey.]

What is all this?

[broroona]

[He looks down at the turkey, blushing lightly in embarrassment and hoping Blue can't see it.]

One of the books told me to do it.

[soldieringblue]

[Blue glances at him with a bit of concern for that turn of mood. a beat, then he carefully picks up the paper to examine it. he's more curious than anything, really; how's he supposed to know it's something to be embarrassed about?]

Is it for something particular?

[broroona]

"Thanksgiving". [He's still blushing and therefore still hiding his face from Blue.]

[soldieringblue]

[he murmurs the word almost unintelligibly in thought, trying to recall it.

...but this embarrassment is getting kind of oppressive so his attention turns back to Baroona, frowning again.]

It doesn't sound like anything you should be ashamed of...[and Rain seems to agree with that, having finished licking its chops and now licking Baroona's knuckles.]

[broroona]

[He reluctantly looks back at Blue, face still flushed. He meets his eyes for a brief moment before turning his gaze away.]

Maybe. [He closes his eyes and sighs, turning the hand-turkey over. He stays like that for a few minutes before realizing something.]

Don't tell Yusuke.

[Nevermind that Yusuke can see this post if he really wants. Good thinking Baroona.]

[soldieringblue]

It'd hardly be my business to...[letting the turkey get tugged out of hand, he scans the rest of the desk for clues.]

This is about...something arriving soon, isn't it? [frowning as he tries to recall.] I've heard the word more than once lately, but...

[broroona]

It's a holiday. Next week, I think. I don't have school.

[The giant pile of Thanksgiving picture books catches his eyes and he frowns at it, as if it was their fault he didn't understand the holiday.]

[soldieringblue]

[a thoughtful hum, picking up one of the books in question, carefully opening and turning pages.

...well he guesses the illustrations are pleasant enough. he smiles a little, turning another page, still puzzling about it, stopping on a page and scanning the text. Rain's over here nosing and pawing at Baroona's hand for more prepackaged treats.]

[broroona]

[Baroona lets Blue read, contenting himself with feeding Rain with small chunks of twinkie, a small smile on his face.]
