I have never been one to focus on holidays. I take note of New Year's, and I somewhat enjoyed the observation of setsubun, in my home, but Christmas was never particularly important to me. Respect-for-the-Aged Day is... well. It isn't uncalled for, anyway.

That aside. What redeems this time of year is that I'm a little fond of the cold and of snow

...burrow? You don't sound much like a rabbit.

[Liquid sounds amused.]

If you're going to sit in the snow, there are ways to stave off hypothermia. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and nicotine and be sure to eat plenty before you go out there. Also it's best to go out there when you're at peak energy. Hypothermia is more likely to set in if the wind chill is especially sharp or if your clothes get wet. As long as you wrap up, you should be fine even if you're small.

In attitude, no. I mean in role.

[heartdissonance]

Nor in role! Jack is an interesting man... That is that.

Voice

[ysobritish]

Oh? So you really care nothing about him other than that he's interesting?

Voice

[heartdissonance]

It's unimportant...

[A chuckle.]

Somehow I doubt that, but I won't pry then. Although I must wonder if perhaps you have a crush on him.

Don't be a mouthy little boy! What an assumption.

...last I saw, you were the "little" one here, kid. [A laugh.] It was rude of me. I do beg your pardon.

[Even when he's serious he sounds sarcastic, and he's not quite serious now.]

It's simply a habit of people around my father I'm beginning to suspect.

[Damn him and his irritating charisma.

Damn him to hell.]

You are a baby and that is that! Your father is infuriating at times, regardless.

Voice

[ysobritish]

I happen to be thirty-three. That is not babyish in the slightest.

Voice

[heartdissonance]

It is, it is.

Voice

[ysobritish]

That is completely untrue!

Voice

[heartdissonance]

It's true! It's very true!

I am not a baby. Thirty-three is the prime of life. You're the one that looks like you're about ten.

Voice

[heartdissonance]

Ten is a baby age for certain, as well.

Voice

[ysobritish]

You don't get the right to call me a baby until you're older than me.
