Ah, the Christmas festivities are fast approaching, aren't they? It's certainly good to see everyone in such light-hearted spirits once again, as those series of murders had begun to interrupt all the peace and harmony in this place.

I suppose it is about time I go Christmas shopping. There are quite a few people I wish to give presents to, and it

That depends.

Do I get a present, too~?

[royal_smile]

Perhaps, if you're nice.

[lady_yuuko]

Oh, you woe me. I'm always nice! D:

[royal_smile]

Are you, really?

[lady_yuuko]

...I am nicer to you than I should.

[royal_smile]

And I always end up spoiling you more than I should.

[lady_yuuko]

But that's what you're supposed to do~! D:

[royal_smile]

Oh, Yuuko...

Why do you still ask? You just know I will get you anything you want.

[lady_yuuko]

It never hurts to make sure, right~? ♥

Besides. You, too, know I love shopping~

[royal_smile]

Well, you love buying gifts to yourself, but that doesn't necessarily mean you enjoy going shopping for others.

[lady_yuuko]

...I never go shopping for others. I can't.

[royal_smile]

You can't? How come?

[lady_yuuko]

The rules of Balance. I cannot freely give, ever.

[royal_smile]

That's right... I had forgotten.

I am so sorry, Yuuko. I did not mean to bring up a delicate topic.

[lady_yuuko]

That's quite alright.

Besides, if we go shopping together, at least that will feel like I'm also giving out presents, even if indirectly.

[royal_smile]

So you still want to go shopping with me?
