Have to say that in spite of everything? I might have enjoyed being home more, but it was nice to see a bunch of kids running around excited about presents and Santa Claus. Even if all them happened to somehow be people that aren't that young anymore anymore. Really not much of a point to this time of year at all without kids.

I probably would have enjoyed seeing everyone enjoy themselves, as well. [But he was a kid, so... awkward.]

Get anything interesting?

[majorum_pride]

Interesting I suppose in that I don't know what it is. [And he holds up a wooden duck with wheels attached to it.]

Looks like a duck, to me.

[majorum_pride]

[It gets another look, before he sets it down.] I've never seen one before.

...You've never seen a duck.

[majorum_pride]

They don't look this way in pictures.

[He shakes the toy. Ducks don't have wheels.]

I'm not from Earth. My closest experiences have been during breaches and ports and those are hazy.

Right. Well, it's just a toy, not an exact replica. You pull it on a string and it's like you've got a pet following you around.
