[just got done with some grocery 'shopping', standing in the kitchen of Coronet House, looking pretty down and a lot quieter than usual]

[ooc;  I'll just leave this here...  Feel free to ask what's wrong, she'll point you in this direction.]

Hey, there.

[special_student]

Hi. [have a smile that's not entirely there] How are you?

[sevenxsorrows]

A little bored, you?

[special_student]

As good as can be expected, really. I'm starting to miss home more the closer it gets to Christmas, I usually spend it with my dad.

[sevenxsorrows]

... Yeah, don't we all?

I miss spending it with my parents, too.

[special_student]

...But, you'll be able to see them again, won't you? I'm... one of the people that...

Well. [looks around, realizing Hikaru, Tamaki or Kyouya could easily be seeing this] Nevermind. You're right, everyone misses them equally, I shouldn't complain.

[sevenxsorrows]

I'll see my father again, I know that. I don't know when, though, that's the thing.

[This earns a strange look] Well, I didn't say that, but as long as we're away from our parents, complain all you like. I don't care.

[special_student]

I just hope he's all right... spending Christmas alone. My dad's always been a little absent-minded, so I always worry when I leave him to tend to himself.

[getting herself to think of her dad is a surefire way of being less depressed about Nero being a jerk! This is working~]

[sevenxsorrows]

[And this earns a lot of sympathy from Mary]

I'm sorry...

[special_student]

Oh, no, it's not like he's incapable, he's just airheaded. [laughs and smiles]

[sevenxsorrows]

... But still- sucks to be away from your parents.

[special_student]

Can't really deny that.

[sevenxsorrows]

[And this is an awkward attempt to console ):]

Ah... heh. Maybe some of us can make it a good Christmas. Whatever.
