[A: Action; Locked to Housemates]

[Cain is in the front room, carefully taking down the Christmas decorations. He's got a wide smile on his face, even if there's a slightly wistful look in his eyes as he winds up tinsel and packs away baubles.]

[B: Around Town (Open)]

[On the way to the store this morning, Cain was enjoying the crisp weather now

[Bazett had gone inside her house to get a drink when the window was smashed from behind her. She throws open the door, ready to punch whoever did it. She is greeted with the sight of a little boy looking horrified.]

Did you do this?

[kinships]

[Looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights, he turned at her voice and nodded jerkily.]

Y...es, it was an accident, I'm so sorry.

[answerer_sword]

[She sighs. She dislikes ominous events during New Year's day because they seemed to herald bad luck for the rest of the year. However, since it was obviously an accident and she could easily fix the window, she decides she can let it slide.]

Please be more careful next time.

[kinships]

Is there anything I can do? Maybe I can help fix it?

[He looks absolutely wretched. Sob.]

[answerer_sword]

I can fix it by myself.

[Upon seeing how wretched he looks, she now feels guilty about being angry in the first place.]

But...ah...there is something you can do to help.

[kinships]

What? I'll do anything...

[answerer_sword]

...Come inside and have a drink and a snack.

[It's the only way she can think of to cheer him up.]

[kinships]

[He looks a bit surprised for a moment, before stepping forwards with a relieved smile.]

You're not angry?

[answerer_sword]

No. I understand that it was an accident. As long as you be more careful next time, I have no reason to be angry.

[kinships]

[He gives her a relieved smile - score one for the puppy dog look.]

Then, I'd love to come in and have some tea, miss.

[answerer_sword]

[She smiles a little and shows him the way in.]

Would you like some crackers as well?

[Like the other things she has bought at the store, they are incredibly bland. They are mostly there for the drone children.]

[kinships]

[He doesn't mind bland, he sits politely and nods his head.]

Is there anything I can do to help?

[answerer_sword]

I do not believe there is anything you need to do. I am perfectly capable of repairing the break by myself.

[Though she would have to wait until he leaves because she does not want to reveal her status as a magus to him.]

[kinships]

I meant in preparing the tea.

[Though he would have been more than happy to help with the window too, considering it was his fault.]

[answerer_sword]

I suppose you could help watch the water. Be careful not to burn yourself.

[kinships]

Don't worry, I cook all the meals at home, I know how to use the cooker.
