[ well, she'll keep up trying throughout the rest...? although it still doesn't sound that enthused comparatively. ]

Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

[ Natalia, will, of course, be keeping this up the whole song in relative unison (albeit with more gusto) with Kyouko! And she even keeps her arm there around the other, but when they finish she breaks off and theatrically bows.

... This is a thing she is doing. ]

[falsepretentious]

[As they finish, Byakuya smirks and claps his hands, giving them a few hands of dramatic applause.]

Well done. That's not quite what I expected to find when I opened my door, but you performed quite well.

[evidentiary]

And do you feel holiday cheer has been properly spread to you?

[nachetanya]

That was the objective!

[ Okay Kyouko she'll follow your lead... ]

[falsepretentious]

Quite. I feel that I'm practically brimming with it. [He says in a lightly teasing tone.] Do I have to sign any documents confirming that fact?

[evidentiary]

I don't think we need to go quite so far as that, at least. [ she hopes... ] But I'm glad. That marks that off...

[nachetanya]

It would be good for you to be prepared to testify if necessary though!

[ Wink again. ]

[falsepretentious]

Heh. I'm prepared to do so if necessary... May I ask what exactly this is for?

[evidentiary]

The ReVA has a charity event going on...this was one of our "chores" - that is, to carol.

[nachetanya]

[ Awww, she was considering making a bad joke there... oh well. She just nods and smiles. ]

[falsepretentious]

[That's just how he rolled with it.]

I see. So you're willing to do even that for the sake of charity... Impressive. Now, what's your partner's name? [He glances between the two of them.]

[evidentiary]

Byakuya, this it Natalia Fairweather - Natalia, my cousin Byakuya Kirigiri.

[nachetanya]

That's me! It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ She answers this just as politely, nodding and putting her right (bio) hand over her heart. ]

[falsepretentious]

Well met. [He says that with a smirk while keeping his arms crossed.]

The two of you made quite the team.

[evidentiary]

Mm...we actually did get a good amount of work done.

[ though some of it sEEMED SILLY ]

[nachetanya]

We did! Honestly, Kyouko's a very efficient person!

[ ... Will this embarrass her probably not. ]

[falsepretentious]

Of course. I'd expect no lesser level of efficiency of my cousin, even when it comes to tasks that may be found to be embarrassing.

[evidentiary]

...I don't think it's embarrassing so much as a chore?

[nachetanya]

It's true, I tried to get her flustered here and there, but I've failed at every turn.

[falsepretentious]

[Byakuya smirks confidently in response.]

That's not surprising at all. I'm sure that you put up a valiant effort, but my cousin is quite crafty.

[evidentiary]

It's less crafty and more not being the sort to get embarrassed that easily, really.

[nachetanya]

It was a little frustrating, honestly.

[ But hey, it's fine, it's all good. ]

[falsepretentious]

That's fair. A Kirigiri does not fluster easily... [He says, as if it's just as true for him. (It might not be.)]

In any case, well done.

[evidentiary]

Thank you very much, Byakuya...we won't take up any more of your time, though.

[ IT'S THE 31ST SO let's fade 2 black ]
