Hunched over one of the tables, Heat seemed to be busy at work with something. He hadn't been aware of this whole 'christmas' and 'gift-giving' thing until the day had passed. But he didn't seem to be letting that stop him from doing, well... something. He pulled a frayed ribbon into a bow on the last package, and looked at it with a smirk, apparently proud of his own handywork. He had taken great care with that one, standing back to admire how it looked atop the others.

The gifts ranged in size and shape, and the paper that covered them was unmatching and torn, then taped together awkwardly, some of them with bits of ribbon taped on as well. But the last one was certainly the 'best' if it could even be called that... Beneath the table, there seemed to be a puddle forming, dark and thick -- as something seemed to be leaking out from them.

Heat took a step back, hands on his hips as he admired the stack of presents, feeling accomplished at the completion of his task.

( wow, don't you be lumping him together with the leader like that! sure, serph's gifts were practial and even useful probably... but that didn't mean anything okay!! )

That Christmas thing. ( he says it like it's obvious; aren't you supposed to be the well of information mr. tactician? )

[donotcomprehend]

You missed it. Did you not learn of it beforehand?

[Come on, Heat, the locals only decorated everything...]

[enfire]

( oh my god, he can't be bothered to pay attention to what any of the locals took part in -- unless it was indigestion )

Why should I have known?! I've never heard of anything like it before. Hmph. ( wow, and to think he got you something and everything, gale... )

[donotcomprehend]

[When that something looks like meat, he can totally be judgmental.]

The locals have been enthusiastic about participating in it, and several other foreigners were willing to explain the concept.

[enfire]

Yeah? So? What about you? ( he's getting a little sick of the whole judgey mcjudgerson thing going on, here. so he's late, big deal!! what did you do for christmas, gale?? ) What did you do about it?

[donotcomprehend]

Nothing. I see no point in giving gifts simply because it is a certain time of year.

[enfire]

( his eyes narrow ) Some of them said it's what you do with comrades.

[donotcomprehend]

But not all of them? It seems to be it is not a tradition practiced everywhere.

[enfire]

Hmph. ( yea, he's a little offended ) Then I guess I'll just give yours to someone else.
