[A face appears on the network who hasn't been seen in a long, long while. Not that Shizuo has been missing; he just hardly ever broadcasts his messages for everyone to see. He doubts that most people are all that interested

[ Hearing Shizuo say it's been a year since he got here surprises Yako, mostly because it reminds her that in less than a couple of months, she'll be able to say the same thing. It's a little disorienting.

Still, when she flicks on the video feed to reply, she has a steady smile for him: most of her minor scrapes have already healed up. ]

You know I'd never say no to food.

[ It's the easiest thing to get her, after all, and she doesn't want him to have to go out of his way. Having said that... ]

What about you? What do you want for Christmas?

[This is two people in a row who have asked for food now. Shizuo didn't realize that it was such a popular gift, but maybe it just has something to do with the people he knows.]

Hmph, all right. Any preference for what kind?

[As for what he wants, he'll have to think about it.]

Anything's fine, as long as there's a lot of it. [ Shizuo knows her well enough by now to predict that answer, at least. ]

What would you have given me, if I hadn't asked?

I guess something along those lines. Or something for the cold weather.

You've been here for a year?

[ The knowledge surprises her. Somehow, the experience she's had of long-term residents of the Port labels them as outgoing, welcoming fellows. Shizuo draws considerably less attention to himself than those people do... ]

Yeah, I don't quite believe it either. But it was right before Christmas when I got here.

I didn't realise.

[ She's not sure what to say. Commenting on how different he is to her mental standard would be rude. ]

You thought it was less time?

[Oh, he knows this voice. He remembers.

Which is maybe why he sounds a little bitter.]

Well, I'd like an apology. And it's free so you can't accuse me of being a- what was it?- blood-sucking scumbag.

[Okay, so those were his words not Shizuo's but he implied it.]

[Why the hell is this guy responding and stirring up trouble for no reason?]

When did I ever say that?

[frankengambler]

We were talking about debt collectors, remember? [indignantly] Then you got hysterical.

[Translation: grudge grudge grudge, hypocritical, grudge.]

[goesberserk]

Yeah, I remember, but I never called you a vampire. And you were the hysterical one!!
