[The snow was enough to brighten Ven's day after the nightmare of seeing his former Master, but man... presents! He found his rather easily, and quickly delved into the wrapping paper before taking off the lid-]

[...To see one of his favorite books from back home, along with a photo of Master Eraqus, himself, Terra and Aqua on the cover of a small photo album. Just what he'd wanted- the album from his training days back home.]

[Ven sniffled, knowing those days were long gone but... now at least he had a tiny piece of home; of familiarity after going so long with just... so many new people and places.]

[ Have a hand on your head, Ventus. Man, this is one sentimental Christmas. ]

You've got to admit, this city knows how to give.

[wayward_faith]

[Yes, yes it is.]

[Ven looks up at the hand, a couple tears falling as he smiled brightly.]

Y-yeah, it does. I...kinda thought these were lost forever.

[His home no longer exists, after all. It's just ruin.]

[xlillackeykitty]

[ Have a hair ruffle as he settles himself beside Ven. It seems to cheer Sora up... maybe it'll work on you. ]

Yeah, I know how you feel. Guess the city knows where to get their presents. Nothing short of a Christmas miracle.

[wayward_faith]

[He does seem to cheer him up a bit. Tears of joy, man. Tears of friggin' joy.]

Christmas miracle... [He ponders this a moment, then grins.] Yeah, I guess it is!

[Brohugs cool, man?]

[xlillackeykitty]

[ Brohugs totally cool! ]

Guess some good came out of this crazy city after all...

[wayward_faith]

Yeah, no kidding.

[Then a brohug you get! Oh, and something else. 'Cuz Ven used that opportunity to slip a small package into your hand.]

[xlillackeykitty]

[ He blinks, looking at the package. ]

You didn't have to get me anything...

[ But there's that grateful smile and a hair ruffle for you. ]

But hope you like chocolate chip muffins!

[ And have a warm package plunked into your arms as he looks his present over. ]

[wayward_faith]

But I wanted to-

[omg hair ruffle! <3 ...Wait, chocolate chip? HIS FACE BRIGHTENS CONSIDERABLY.]

They're my favorite!

[And inside the package, there's a camera and a new notebook to jot down notes. Journalists can always use pictures to go with articles, right? Oh, and a little luck charm. Goodness knows Luka'll need it.]

[xlillackeykitty]

[ There's this content smile on his face as he inspects his present. Oh geez, Ven... he's really needed a camera ever since he got here! His old one got waterlogged. ]

I think I'll be owing you a lifetime supply of those muffins to thank you for this!

[wayward_faith]

[Then it's a good thing he found this one at the store! It was...kinda the last one they had.]

Hey, don't mention it. We're friends, right?

[Though he won't complain about the muffins. XD]

[xlillackeykitty]

Absolutely.

[ And this earns you a thank you noogie! ]

[wayward_faith]

[asdafafl; Oh noes, not the noogie! XD]

You know, when that Alpha guy was asking us what we wanted for Christmas, I almost thought he was doing it to make fun of us...

[Sora settles down beside Ven with his own book, cross legged.]

[wayward_faith]

I know, right? I'm glad it wasn't for a change...

[He smiles at his heir, giving a faint shrug. Dude, this just made his week.]

Whatcha got there, Sora?

chronologically comes after other thread <3

[lockandkeyblade]

[He just looks down at his album.]

Oh just the album with the pictures you saw earlier. The one with Herc.

[A laugh.]

Maybe Alpha's not so bad after all. Guess he can't be mean to us all the time.
