[ Nodoka's face flickers onto the screen and she's smiling - quite brightly, actually. Her fear from the last curse has been smothered due to her Christmas joy, and her face is tinted with a bright, happy blush. ]

I - t-thank you so much for the wonderful presents. I really don't deserve them, they're all so lovely!

[ She bows a little, the necklace

Glad you've named her already.

[He grins a bit sheepishly.]

She's quite playful, isn't she?

[ It takes Nodoka a few minutes to respond and, when she does, she's still a little flustered. ]

Yes! Ah, the name was easy, I think - but she's a handful! I think she is determined to get the flower Crowley-san gave me!

[akihikos]

Try putting it somewhere high where she can't get it.

[Pause.]

Or you could get her a toy.

[libraria]

Oh! A toy! I hadn't thought of that.

[ She smiles, still looking flushed and flustered. ]

Good idea, Sanada-san!

voice;

[akihikos]

Yeah, if puppies don't have anything to play with, they'll turn their attention to other things.

[He grins.]

They need exercise, too. So if you ever want to come running with me, it'd be fun.

[libraria]

That's true! Actually... Kotarou-kun was a lot like that...

[ Half-demon who was part wolf... Always needed something to focus on... ]

Ah! I'd like that - and I'm sure Akiko-chan would too!

WOW I WROTE VOICE INSTEAD OF VIDEO GO ME /derps

[akihikos]

Kotarou?

[Shrug.]

Really? Let's make it happen, then.

OH WOW I DIDN'T EVEN REALISE

[libraria]

Ah! Kota-kun is a friend of mine at home. He's a lot like a puppy! When would you like to run, Sanada-san?

DEEEEERP

[akihikos]

Anytime you want. I'm up for anything.

herp a derp derp

[libraria]

Okay! Well -- eep!

[ A little ball of puppy has just crashed into Nodoka's leg. She giggles, bending down to pick her up. ]

Whenever you're free! I think Akiko-chan is excited.

[akihikos]

[He chuckles softly.]

Alright. I'll let you know.

[libraria]

[ The puppy is staring into the camera, and she scrambles forward to perss her nose into it. Nodoka giggles and steps back, scratching her head lightly. ]

Mhm! That's Sanada-san, Akiko-chan! A very good friend!

[akihikos]

[S-so cute aslkjfdlsakjf]

Don't ruin her flower, alright Akiko?

[libraria]

[ Nodoka grins, nodding her head. ]

That's right! It was an extra present from Crowley-san, so we have to look after it!

[akihikos]

[He smiles.]

I bet she'll learn quickly.

[libraria]

[ Nodoka nods. ]

I'm sure! I-I'll buy her some toys when I go out next.
