I know everyone is excited for Christmas, but...

Miss Noel's birthday is also that day. I'd like to throw some kind of party for her... since she loves the holiday so much as well.

If anyone's interested, please let me know. I'm sure she'd be happy to see you all. And I could use the help.

Oh! But please don't tell her! I want it to be a

... It is?

[Frankly, Elliot Nightray had been a jerk for the last few years. He hadn't really thought about when Noel's birthday might have been. Of course, he didn't even pay much attention to his own in this place, but as much as he usually ignored it, even he felt kind of bad for failing to even ask her about it before.]

[purethingsonly]

You didn't know?!

[Shame on you. Ada gives him a slightly shocked and... frankly, disappointed look.]

[snapekillsedgar]

It never came up before!

[He returned her look with one of frustrated annoyance, but it was clear from his voice, he knew that he was in the wrong.]

[purethingsonly]

What are you going to do about it?

[That is clearly implying that you should do something Elliot. You know. The way women like to hint every now and then...]

[snapekillsedgar]

Who said I was going to do anything about it?!

[... If Ada is observant, she could probably tell, Elliot just didn't want to admit that yes, he did want to do something about it. It was just to sappy to say it to her. What would he even do though?]

[purethingsonly]

Aren't you?

[She can tell he wants to. That's why she pushes. She has faith in him.]

[snapekillsedgar]

... I'll think about it.

[purethingsonly]

Please! It would make Miss Noel so happy...

[Stare....]

[snapekillsedgar]

... What?

[The staring is creeping him out.]

[purethingsonly]

You don't get it at all...

[Sigh. Men are so oblivious. But she knows. She knows how much it would mean to Miss Noel.]

It would make her happier than anything.

[snapekillsedgar]

She's already getting a party. She'll be happy anyway.

[purethingsonly]

She'd be sad if you weren't there, you know. Noel likes you a lot.

[Ada had known since first meeting Noel.]

[snapekillsedgar]

[... He knows she does.

Damnit.]

It's going to be at our house. I couldn't get away from it even if I wanted to.

[Implying that he didn't.]

[purethingsonly]

You promise?

[She doesn't believe he couldn't but... she knows he isn't that heartless. Still.]

[snapekillsedgar]

As if I'd run off. It's Christmas!

[Conveniently dodging the thought of what he could actually do for Noel on the day.]

[purethingsonly]

So what are you going to get her?

[Whether it's Christmas or birthday thoughts, the point is, a present! You have to get her a present!]
