Well.. [ for one there might actually be something slightly hesitant or even downright awkward about Ange, just imagine that. (there's also a trace of flour left on her cheek, but she doesn't seem to notice it, (un)fortunately.) ]

To the people who gave me stuff for Christmas - um, that would be Battler, Yuri, Makoto, Hinata-san [ assuming he did

Oho Gretel~?

[angretel]

[ who ever let you near a keyboard.. either way, she quickly tries to get rid of the awkwardness and get on more of her usual deadpan again when she looks at him. ]

That was quick. I guess a guy like you can't resist the call of the word 'present'.

[lovescowtits]

[my mother let me shut up.

He catches that brief awkward look- but then shrugs it off.]

No way no way~! I hear that word and I just come running! So... what'd you get me? That hint of flour on your face is telling me everythi-ng!

[angretel]

[ For a moment she blankly stares at him as he mentions that last part, but.. oh, she quickly rubs her face to get it off, looking actually a bit embarassed. But by the time she's gotten it off, she frowns at him instead. ]

You know, you're not getting your present until you behave at least a little.

Eh? You got me something? You really didn't have to, you know. I wasn't expecting anything in return.

[angretel]

[ you're thinking too much of it already, Yuri!! ]

It's only natural that people give something in return when they're given a present, right? It's not really anything special or unexpected. Besides, it wasn't even that much effort.

[kickgodsass]

Well good, it's not like I was expecting anything spectacular.

[angretel]

Oh, so I have to go call the marching band and circus show that they don't have to show up as your present after all?

[ at least she manages to deadpan joke again somewhat. ]

[makewayforroze]

Thank you! I'm really happy to get them!

You weren't ever in my debt. I wanted you to have something you'd enjoy and I thought the ribbons would look very pretty in your hair.

[angretel]

No, just for that thought.. I should do something in return for you, so I did. I didn't expect any Christmas presents at all, honestly, or I would at least have gotten some in time.

[ she's speaking a little more awkwardly than usual - she's not used to situations like these, after all. ]

And.. I might try them out sometime. I'm pretty used to my usual hair bobbles, though.

[makewayforroze]

Do you celebrate Christmas in your world?

[angretel]

Not really. We're all sort of stuck in October until we finish this game, so there's no Christmas for us this year.

[supremefaith]

Oh! Thank you very much!

[angretel]

Ah.. you're welcome, but you don't have to be that grateful, you know. It's nothing big..

[supremefaith]

Ah? But you made it yourself, huh...so you worked with your own two hands to give me this present.

[angretel]

[ there's a pause - yup, Makoto is pointing out exactly what she hoped she wouldn't. ]

Yeah, I did, but.. [ she can't even think up an excuse. ] I'd be glad if you just accepted them, I guess.
