Hey. [Sam grins at her drone---and thus, Haven in general---as she strides (a bit unevenly, as always) down the hall her apartment is in.] If we've talked a lot, or you've done me a favour, I need to know where you are, cause I've got something to give you. If you're at home? Great. If not? Say something, don't make me hunt. I got too much ground to cover today.

Well, I'm at home. What are you up to?

[10_20_15_5_50]

The whole Christmas thing, just low-key. I'll be by in two shakes.

[Yeah, that grin just gets wider.]

I have been biding on this.

[automobileenthusiast]

That's one of those human holidays, isn't it? I forgot that was a thing.

[video to action]

[10_20_15_5_50]

It is, and surprise, it is! And speaking of surprises... I can't wait to see the look on your face.

[With that, she reaches out to her drone and cuts the feed. Someone's not getting any hints until Sam arrives, announced by a BANG BANG BANG at the door. When KO answers it, he'll find Sam standing beside her moosebot, which is burdened with a big, lumpy bundle lashed to its rack.]

[OOOOOOOOOOOOOO action]

[automobileenthusiast]

[Knock Out gives the moose a weird look because come on that thing is freaky looking.]

Hello, darling. Come on in. Would you like me to unpack your... whatever you call this thing?

[video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

At home, right now. Getting things set up for Jendayi.

[Yes, Lea is going to try and give her a decent Christmas.]

[video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Mind if I pop on over? I won't interrupt you too long a time.

Re: [video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

Nah, I don't mind. In fact I've got a little something for you, just in case I don't have the chance to give it to you tomorrow.

[video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Oh, you didn't have to! But I'm intrigued, and on my way.

[Bwip! goes the feed, and, eventually, the knock comes at Lea's door.]

[eyestothesky]

[What's that? Oh just a white fuzzy face peering at the video with big green eyes. S'mores seems to like the drone, and is currently pawing at it though the sudden face and voice have her taking a startled jump back, ears perked, paw half-raised like she's not sure if she should smack it or not for startling her.]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Oh, hello, you!

[Cuteness proximity; no-one's immune.]

[eyestothesky]

MOW? [The kitten's meow? Loud enough that the drone shakes on the floor and she herself shakes a little bit across the sill she's perched on.

The noise draws The Spine's attention though, peering up from his book and smiling when he spies who's saying hello.]

Hey there.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Holy shit.

[And then Sam's laughing, because that was awesome.]

Talk about a serious set of pipes! And Spine, hey. You free for me to stop by, take maybe five minutes? I have a little something for you and your little friend.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Makin’ you hunt sounds interesting, though.

[Video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

[The immediate response is a drawn-out noise of complain---no actual words, just the noise. But then Sam drops it.]

Really?

Re: [Video]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[Shrugs] Why not?

[Video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Let's see---one, you know me. For another thing, though, what; you're not curious as to what you're gonna get?

[Video]

[greater_than_zero]

What’s this about? [He’s...not expecting to be on the gift list, but he’s curious nonetheless.]

[Video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

It's a gift-giving holiday. At home, anyway. And I'm not going to skip Christmas---not that Hiro would let me---just because I'm here. That would mean missing out on too much. Christmas is a pretty major holiday; the most important for most people on Earth, I think.

Re: [Video]

[greater_than_zero]

Oh? What's the Holiday for?

[Video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Well, for a lot of people---and originally---it's about celebrating the birth of the guy who's the central figure of the Christian religion, though whether or not the guy ever actually existed is up for debate. In the camp of 'yes, there was such a guy' whether or not he was actually divine or just really persuasive or what is also up for debate, but I digress. The amount of emphasis on the religious aspect varies a lot, but even non-religious people---and, sometimes, people who practice other religions---treat it as a time to spend time with their loved ones, exchange gifts, party, and try to be a bit more charitable. Despite my choice in exclamations, I'm not a religious person, but I do like Christmas a lot.

[knight_light]

I'd not dream of making you hunt me down.

[Video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

I'm glad for that; I've done enough raging heavenward for a while. Where're you at?

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

I’m at the arboretum at the Hub. I’ll wait here for you.

[Video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

I'll try not to be too long.
