Ino's comprehension of Christmas didn't run much past shiny presents and such but she definitely had the looking like a kid on Christmas morning thing down pat as she half-danced half-bounced her way into the preserve with Zack after the dishes had
shooed them out of Café Fina for the day.
And admiring her shiny armlet with her shinier Thunder materia in it. It wasn't technically a Christmas present, but it was the best present ever.
She was going to get to do magic!
There was nothing cooler than that. Well. Except for the next two weeks, uh huh.
"So," she said, grin evident in her eyes, her voice, her bounce, her face. "How does this work?"
