Today had been strange to say the least. After taking a week off of her latest detective project, Yukari had pulled out her notes today, and had spent a halfhearted attempt to look over clues in the morning, to draw some conclusion. However the more she tried to concentrate... the harder it was. The ghosts had quickly brought her her favorite brand of tea when she had sat down to work, perfect temperature, and wonderfully warm going down. The more cups of tea she drank, the longer she would look out of her window and just... think. It got to the point when she realized she had been looking out the window for an hour in a warm stupor, and it was then that she decided to go outside

"Oh?" Rin turned at Yukari's voice, smiling rather shyly at the other girl. It was a little embarrassing almost, being caught indulging in something a little bit juvenile. She wasn't a kid, after all. Still, if she'd wanted privacy, she probably should have gone towards the woods, and it was good seeing Yukari anyway.

"I guess he is. He's not quite finished, but maybe I can leave him for now. What're you up to?" Rin slapped her hands against her thighs a couple times to knock snow off of her mittens and glanced curiously at the other girl. Yukari looked lightly dressed for the weather; it wouldn't be good to make her stand still for too long.

"Want to take a walk? I can come back to this guy anytime."

Itachi found himself passing by mid-walk, at another attempt to acclimate himself to the colder weather. He was also curiously observing the glowing balls of light - it did seem that Paradisa had its own way of being festive and unusual no matter what event it was confronted with. He also had to wonder what, exactly, contained the heat that they were made of. He had captured one in his palm, examining it closely with the Sharingan, when he sensed a familiar presence nearby.

Glancing up, he spotted Rin making what appeared to be a snowman. Though he had never participated in the practice himself, the image was not unfamiliar to him. Unlike an normal person, however, he chose not to approach - instead, he just watched her curiously from afar.

Itachi blended quite well into the darkness, what with being dressed in entirely black and with his usual cat-footedness contributing as well. Rin remained completely unaware of his scrutiny as she wandered a bit in proximity to her budding snowman before realizing that she'd need to go a bit farther afield to find anything in the way of arms or features.

Asking the castle never actually occurred to her. It would have been cheating, after all; she needed to take care of her own snowman.

It was with that mission in mind that she struck off towards the gardens, even though they were dimmer than the bright castle. There were bound to be some twigs lying around there, after all, even in Paradisa's unnaturally well-coiffed landscapes.

His eyes followed her for a moment before he decided to speak up.

"Looking for something?"

Rin jumped a little before what the voice out of the darkness was saying really registered, and who the voice belonged to, besides. Out of the darkness as always... Rin turned to look in the direction she thought Itachi had spoken from. "Good evening, Itachi-san," she smiled. It wasn't so hard to pick him out with the light from the castle, now that she knew he was there. "Just some branches and pebbles and stuff. Snowmen need arms and stuff, you know?"

Christmas presents... What could you get people in a place where they could already get almost anything they wanted without any trouble?

As she walked towards the castle grounds, returning from a trip to the city for some ideas, Karako went over that question again. She was probably out of practice when it came to gift-giving in the first place. Deadman Wonderland hadn't been the right environment for that sort of thing.

But here... Their first Christmas back outside of DW and everyone's hard work was something to celebrate. If the rest of Scar Chain were here, they'd be joining right in.

Karako's thoughts wandered a little further and she stopped outside the castle, still a short distance away from its walls.

She couldn't give Nagi what she was sure he really wanted, but maybe Paradisa could and would. And if it did, she couldn't do much more beyond hoping that it wouldn't take it from him again.
