Christmastime Is Here~

[kiramekinoishi]

There's a feeling of warmth in the air, even though snow is falling just outside the windows. There's a faint but noticeable aroma of...something decidedly holiday-esque. Gingerbread maybe, or cinnamon. Laughter and happy chattering echo up and down the hallways. Everyone seems to be in a good mood, bustling here and there, squeezing by everyone

The princess of Venus seems quite put off as she realizes that the ballroom she's entered is not, in fact, her own. Were it not for the very familiar faces she finds before her, she might even transform. Instead, she pauses upon the threshold, her eyes sliding closed as she extends her senses as far as she may around her. There is no danger, only an unfamiliar place and the four powerful men within the room. Nodding to herself, she opens her eyes once more and allows a small smile to slip across her lips. It is not a place she knows, but with such company, she holds no fear.

Her eyes find the silver haired shitennou after another moment, glittering in amusement at the armful of shining garland. Moving gracefully across the floor, Venus passes the other three men around their tree to proceed to Kunzite's side.

"Would you appreciate a hand to help, Lord Kunzite?"

Kunzite knows that voice well, even as he turns his head to look at her from the corner of his eye. He deposits the decorations in his arms carefully and turns fully to the woman so as not to be rude. "Venus," he greets kindly, with an equally warm smile. "It's an honor to see you here at such an impromptu time. Welcome."

At her offer, he looks back to the tree. "I wouldn't want to trouble you in such a manner on my behalf, but your company is always welcome."

"It's no trouble at all." With a pert smile, Venus reaches for the box of ornaments. Lifting a silver one up, she looks at it closely, what almost looks like a confused look on her face. "Although I must say; I never knew the esteemed leader of the shitennou had such a taste in decoration. May I ask the occasion?"

There's a soft chuckle. "Christmas. It's a holiday Neo-Queen Serenity-sama is fond of. There are presents exchanged and it's a time of cheer and togetherness. And, as you can see, decorations."

The title he gives makes her look up from the ornament, a look of clear surprise gracing her features. The fact that she has no idea what 'Christmas' is means nothing in the face of his words.

"Neo-Queen Serenity, my lord?"

"Mn. Different from your world, I see," he comments. "This is the twenty-third century. Serenity is Queen of Earth. This is the palace of Crystal Tokyo."
