[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 ]
