[ Nodoka doesn't look all that happy. In fact, she looks devestated beyond words. She tries to ignore how upset she looks but forcing a weak and rather pathetic smile onto her face. It's hard and she doesn't quite manage it, but the effort is obvious. ]

It's Christmas soon! Ah, um, I... I've delivered my presents early, if anyone is shocked to find

[Saya manages a smile for Nodoka. She seems more than a few bits tired, but she'll mask it as best she can for the girl.]

Thanks, Nodoka. I really appreciate your gift. It served as quite the pick-me-up.

[libraria]

[ Nodoka's the same, but that doesn't stop her worrying for her friend. ]

I'm glad, Saya! [ She still seems a little apprehensive about not using an honourific. ] Are... Are you okay?

[sweeperesque]

[At that, Saya genuinely laughs. Man, she must really suck at pretending. Moving some stray hair behind her ear, she musters up another grin.]

Seen better days, but I'll manage. How about you?

[libraria]

[ Nodoka watches her carefully, but smiles softly in return. ]

I'm okay! Nothing to worry about here.

Nodoka, the cake is really cute...! [he has a quiet voice, as usual, but you can literally see how happy he looked. his quiet voice is really excited, too.]

Thank you. I hope you'd like my present, as well. It might take a bit of time, but I'm also asking my [Pokemon ;;] friends to help me deliver them. If it's not me, it might be one of them. They're friendly, so don't be afraid when you see them.

[ Nodoka flushes, lifting her hands and smiling. ]

Ah, n-no, thank you! I'm glad you liked it, a-and, um, I-I won't be afraid. I promise, Red-san!

[pristinestar]

Good. I'm sure that they'd love to meet you personally, Nodoka.

[libraria]

Then I'll make sure to greet them with a smile!
