[Regal has been a fan of Christmas ever since he discovered it in is first year here in Luceti. Not only is it an excuse to give to others, but there's just something about the atmosphere and the decorations that make him happy, that feeling of closeness with one's friends and family

Best Christmas present ever

[fonon_professor]

[About a month ago, Sokka did mention to Gelda that Regal had something important to talk to her about. It was something that unnerved her a bit, especially after Sokka specifically said that she shouldn't worry about it. Still, after so many weeks it's slipped her mind again. So many things have happened that she's just glad for a chance to relax.

This is Gelda's third Christmas in Luceti, by now. She's grown quite fond of the holiday. It's all about giving and being close to your friends, of course, but the fact that it's strongly associated with snow makes things even better. She misses Keterburg more than she'd like to admit, but seeing Luceti covered in a white blanket makes up for it somewhat.

When Regal enters the living room, he'll find Gelda sitting by the fireplace, deeply immersed in a book.]

[Regal stands for a moment to watch her and this peaceful scene, smiling. All of the nervousness he'd had the prior time he tried this is gone, because this time, he's not involving any sort of boat or experiment. And this is the perfect weather-- he knows how much she misses Keterburg, and a day like this must be making her happy.

He'll make his way over to the fireplace, still smiling, reaching out to run a hand fondly through her hair once he reaches her.]

Enjoying the holiday?

[She'd already heard him coming, which is why Regal's touch was expected and welcomed. A pleasant smile tugging at her lips, she reaches up to take Regal's hand in her own, turning her head to meet his gaze.]

How could I not? I've got everything I could wish for. [A loving boyfriend who prepared a delicious feast, great friends, everyone close to her survived the draft... And if things remain quiet, school will start again soon.]

Everything?

[He gives that hand a gentle squeeze, thumb rubbing lightly over her knuckles. He's pretty sure she has no idea what he has planned, which is just how he wants it. But he's also got a decoy gift ready-- one that ISN'T the pink fuzzy handcuffs that statue had spit out at him. He really doesn't want to know what the Malnosso were trying to tell him with that.]
