[Someone made a post about Christmas just as she was waking up, and it inspired her. So her face appears, flushed and sweaty but smiling gently, and behind her is Heimdall's kitchen table absolutely loaded with food. It looks like it should be groaning under the weight.]Hi, everyone, it's Nakama again. Somebody mentioned that it's the holidays, and

[ This guy has no idea how to cook for himself. He has been exploring the vast realms of pb&j, cold cut sandwiches and on one occasion dabbling with the sophisticated grilled cheese sandwich.

He burned it.

He has no idea what holiday it is and maybe he should if he's thinking about eating food made for it but--he just wants to eat something that's not a sandwich. So it doesn't take long for him to make up his mind and stroll into the kitchen. ]

Thanks, Nakama. [ He can at least be polite before digging into something for a holiday he doesn't care about. ...But wait. ] ...Is everyone supposed to do gifts? [ Is he going to be obligated to do something for the whole house himself if he partakes 8|;;;; ]

My skill's fighting. [ Something to share...? Maybe as payback. Not that Nakama seems to need back-up like Tifa did or a bodyguard like Aerith, but if it comes up she knows who to ask.

...Also that is about the sole skill he thinks to list off the top of his head. So it's not really a list after all... ]

Yeah, you were a soldier, right? [She nods.] You'll probably be able to help out a lot of people here, then. I mean, hopefully there's not too much violence, but you can protect people.

[Thoughtfully.] I have two friends who want to teach me self-defense, actually. I don't think I'll be any good - [Just holding up one skinny arm, eyebrows arched as if to say 'see?'] - but they insist that I need it to be safe.

I guess. [ ...it's kind of weird going without much fighting though, given how his life's been lately. That and he's not about to sell himself as a protector of the peace, so his tone is pretty non-committal.

He seems more interested in what she says next, perking up a bit--even though he ends up waving off what she says. ]

You won't be good if you write it off that fast. [ Well, he's blunt about it. ] You're missing muscle. If you want to learn, work on building up your strength.

[agoodfamily]

You really think I could get strong enough to protect myself? [Skeptical, but still open.]

[pyritic]

You don't have anything to hold you back, right? Being a girl at your age, yeah, you'll be weaker than most. But it's not all strength. [ Just that, yeah, it's important and wimpy arms do not help. ]

[agoodfamily]

[That's... not very encouraging. But she looks determined anyway.]

I'll do my best, then.
