Will carefully made his way up the stairs, carrying his tray of Christmas goodies. The boys had been working on this for some days, even going to the extremes of asking cafeteria staff about the Christmas menu and ordering take-out from the campus pubs and cafes. He was relieved to see Nanami -- after their disastrous last encounter, he hadn't been entirely sure that the girl would show. Still, they couldn't have her spending Christmas on her own, and Will had been fully prepared too put embarrassment aside and go and look for her.

"Hello," he said. "I see you found us all right." He nodded to a table already laid with a white cloth and decorated with holly and greenery. "Bran's on his way with the rest," he explained as he started transferring the plates to the table -- they had turkey and stuffing and a selection of roast vegetables and gravy from the cafeteria, and a small ham, spiced zimsterne cookies, Christmas pudding and custard from the pub.

Nanami had pushed their last encounter as far back in her mind as she could manage which meant it could surface at any point, however, she was prepared to say she didn't know what they were talking about or it never happened in the first place. "Hello," she returned his greeting and slipping off her coat since it was obvious they would be eating there.

She set her coat aside and followed Will around the table curiously watching the items he placed on the table and stopping every now and then to straighten the silverware or fix some of the greenery. "It smells nice," she decided to attempt some small talk while they waited for Bran to join them, "did you two make all of this?"

Nanami took a seat, picked up on of the napkins and began folding it into a rose that she adjusted to look more like a poinsettia. When she finished she set it on one of the plates and put a sprig of holly in the center before reaching for a second napkin.

Will nodded in appreciation of the help, continuing his task. "Us? Oh, no. We just put it all together. Some of this is from the cafeteria, some from the pub, and Bran's bringing dessert from the cafe. I found the holly, and we've got a present for you that we made ourselves but that's about it, really."

He took a seat opposite Nanami, watching her fold the napkin. "Poinsettia?" he guessed. "How did you do that?"

"Y... you guys got me a present?" Nanami looked a little concerned as she hadn't gotten them anything. What was this weird feeling? Was this what people called guilt? Her thought process was interrupted when Will acknowledged her awesome napkin folding skills. "Yes, it's actually rather simple. You lay your napkin flat and fold the corners to the center..." Nanami explained the process while demonstrating until there was a final product. "Hold out your plate." She lifted the napkin carefully so it wouldn't lose it's shape ready to place it on Will's plate.
