[And here comes Ky, with a couple of bags in his hands.]

Out shopping? I just finished, myself.

Ah... good afternoon, Ky.

Presents for the kids, or...?

For all of my friends here. There's something in here for you, too.

Really? Well, don't go spoiling the surprise. You know me- I'd rather wait until Christmas Day to find out.

How have things been going for you?

Don't worry, I had no intention of doing so.

About as well as they always are. Though I will admit that I've been up later than I should have been most nights this month.

[She puts her hands on her hips and nods, looking much like the precocious child she once was.] Very good.

... just as long as you've been getting enough sleep. We're all going to need clear minds for whatever this town will throw at us on Christmas Day.

Indeed. I plan to spend Christmas Eve relaxing so I'm well-rested.

Good. It can't hurt to be prepared.

[Her ever-present smile slips for a moment; she looks tired.]

... sometimes, I really can't help but wish that we could just enjoy these holidays in a normal way.

Indeed. The world I came from had problems upon problems, but I was at least able to enjoy the holidays peacefully. And ten years of this... I'll admit, remaining hopeful becomes difficult with each passing month.

That's true, but...

[And she smiles faintly and somewhat mechanically as she repeats the one lifeline she's clung to for all these years.]

... we've got to make do with what we have, right?

*nods*

And I will always use what I have to keep moving forward. Even if I can only crawl forward a millimeter at a time.

... mm.

Perhaps that's about the best we can hope for in this place.
