[She goes to say 'Santa Claus', but remembers that Hayate isn't exactly his biggest fan.]

... having fun!

[combat_butler]

--oh, Minnie-san! *He hasn't seen her in quite some time* With... family and friends?

[her_mouse_jesty]

With everyone, including you. It's good to see you, Hayate.

--eh? ... with me? W-While I'd like to, I'm not sure if we'll be in the same area-- but, um-- It's nice to see you as well! It's been awhile, hasn't it?

[can_do_idol]

Definitely osechi! That's what everyone thinks of, right?

[combat_butler]

For New Year's? Definitely. I actually made one for my traveling group last year.

[can_do_idol]

Yeah, New Year's is a lot more fun, right? The food is so much better than Christmas cake, too!

O-or were you asking specifically about Christmas?

[combat_butler]

Mm... Neither of them were ever better than the other for me, but... I definitely enjoyed New Year's more last time.

Oh, no, not at all... If I wanted to know about Christmas, I would have just said it alone.

I think of spending time with the ones I love.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Mm... That's a good answer, Rika... I think spending them with those important to me is all I could really ask for...

[video]

[complexrestart]

[She nods.]

Although presents are very nice, I would rather just spend time with my friends.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Mm!

... besides, I can't even think of anything I would want, present wise...

[YAYOI IS ALREADY IN YOUR KOTATSU, EATING YOUR TANGERINES..........!! Well, she WAS one of the ones who pitched in and bought it, so she's totally within her rights to be chilling up here.]

[She is also half asleep, her head dipping down and her eyes half-lidded. aaaah why are these things so comfortable...]

[Action]

[combat_butler]

*OF COURSE IT IS he gave her full permission after all.*

*That said, Hayate is just quietly chuckling as she bobs, wondering if he should move the shreds of tangerine in front of her in case she conks forward entirely...

... his butler senses say yes, so he'll carefullllly be reaching over to try and move the peels without disturbing her.*

[Action]

[10yen_idol]

Nnn...

[The movement seems to wake her up; Yayoi lifts her head up, blinking muzzily at Hayate and rubbing her eyes]

... good morning...

[Action]

[combat_butler]

*OOPS. He recoils his hand slightly, before raising it just a tad.*

I think that should be good evening, Yayoi.

[ do you hear that, hayate? a little rapping at your window? because it's not your imagination. in fact, there's a rather familiar looking lady outside, holding... stuff.

still not wearing a coat. but she's also on top of her giant whale, so maybe that's not the biggest concern at the moment. let her in, bro. ]

action; 1/3

[combat_butler]

*Hayate tenses up for a moment at hearing that rapping. While he isn't ready to engage in busting some phat beats, he is prepared to slowly turn about, his Gardevoir, Mawile and Umbreon all already looking over to the window in surprise when he finally turns--*

action;

[combat_butler]

*THE REACTION IS IMMEDIATE. He yelps in surprise at seeing Judith there, flopping around like a Magikarp for a brief moment as he tries to get to his feet!! After far too many seconds of looking like a fool he rushes over, opens the window and greets her with--*

action;

[combat_butler]

--J-J-Judith-san!! W-What are you doing?! This is the kind of entrance a superhero or a long lost lover or a criminal would make! C-Come on, g-get in here, ple-- Gyah! Are you standing on your whale?!
