Resolutions are quite an interesting tradition, and certainly one to appreciate! Working hard to reach your goals for the year...I resolved to help a busy man named Santa--or is he Father Christmas? In any case, it would be wonderful to assist him in bringing presents to good people

--Why would you think I have those? [ Don't snoop in your young mater's room, Gremio, sob. ]

[stargathering]

Of course I'm old enough. [ Regardless if he had them before the war even started back home... ] If you really want some... I'll show you were to buy them yourself. [ So embarrassing. Ugh, ugh. ]

[axeofoath]

You don't have to trouble yourself, Young Master...I'm certain Luc won't mind if I read his. [Even if he's disappointed.]

[stargathering]

...Actually, I think I'd mind if you did. [ Calming himself down... ]

[axeofoath]

Y-you...you would? [Tyr doesn't want him reading books? Sob.] I-I...I suppose I should be using that time to clean the apartment, instead.

[stargathering]

...Yeah, you should. There's nothing good that can come from rummaging through magazines like that.

[axeofoath]

But Young Master, if I may...They are sources of great knowledge, are they not?

[stargathering]

...I wouldn't call it knowledge...

[axeofoath]

Are you saying you haven't learned anything from them? Surely, that's impossible!

[stargathering]

Do you even know what you're talking about? [ Seriously. ]

[axeofoath]

Of course I do! Really now, Young Master. I do some reading in my spare time--we used to look at them together, when you were little!

[stargathering]

[ SUPPRESSED MEMORIES. Tyr gawks for a moment at that, then shakes his head. ] There's no way we did that when I was little! --What would Dad have said about that?

[axeofoath]

[Gremio worries a little, not certain why Tyr's so upset or why he doesn't remember reading stories together.] B-but, Young Master, we did...Master Teo was usually busy elsewhere, however, I do recall him joining us on rare occasions.

[stargathering]

[ Deeply, deeply suppressed memories. His hand goes and buries itself in his fringe. ] I don't want to know any more. I preferred not remembering.

[axeofoath]

I...I'm sorry, Young Master--I thought they would have been fond memories for you, as well. [Because Gremio misses those times.]

[stargathering]

[ Tyr misses happy times like that...sorta. ] I have a lot of happy memories with you from when I was little, but... I liked them better before I found out there were magazines like that involved...
