Hi, everyone! [ Subaru appears on the mirror, dressed in her silver-and-blue uniform, for she is out to make a good impression. ] I was thinking about what the Queen said about this time of year, and I decided that she's right. The holidays are no time to be alone, and especially not in the cold!

[ She steps back and gestures wide to the room

I'll definitely be around, so make sure there's a lot!

[highest_caliber]

Mm! [ Fist-pump. ] I've never let my company go hungry before!

[grandtheftmecha]

So what are you making? Lots of meat, right?

[highest_caliber]

[ Bit of a grin. ] Meat and eggs, soups and rice... I'm hoping I have enough variety for everyone, but I'm okay with requests, too.

[grandtheftmecha]

Ooooh, that all sounds good. Is there gonna be beer, or do I have to figure out how to make that myself?

[highest_caliber]

I... didn't think about that! I don't know how many kids there will be here, so it wouldn't be good to have it laying around, but... [ She considers things for a moment. ] Isn't there a bar?

[grandtheftmecha]

Right, right. We'd probably have to have someone keep an eye on it, so I might just go without until afterwards.

[highest_caliber]

That's right, and I don't want any accidents so... we'll have to put off that drink 'til another time, Katina. [ It may or may not have been why she brought it up, but even so. ]

[grandtheftmecha]

Eh, the kids'll probably go to bed or something before we do. I've got no reason not to stay up late on a holiday, especially around here.

[highest_caliber]

That's true... [ And it's tempting. Subaru seems to be giving it some serious thought, arms crossed and everything. ]

[grandtheftmecha]

Don't wanna feel like I'm pushing you... but we could both use the relaxation.

[highest_caliber]

[ Waving her hands. ] It's nothing like that. I just... if they're coming here, I'm the one responsible for them. [ Saying that as if there is some kind of looming danger.

Then she scratches her head. ] ...but it would probably be okay to get away for just a short while.

[grandtheftmecha]

[ Ah, so that's it. You'd make a good mama, Subaru. ]

Can't be responsible all the time! I'm sure there are plenty of people to keep an eye out for a little while.

[highest_caliber]

[ She learned from some of the best mother hens around~ ]

Mm. We'll see tomorrow who shows up, but if I'm free, I'll definitely go with you. Deal?

[grandtheftmecha]

That's the best I could ask for! It's a deal.

[highest_caliber]

Great! [ A wave. ] I'll see you tomorrow, then.
