seasaltkeys | Day 21 - video/action [Forward dated to the 25th]

[Given that Roxas has never actually experienced Christmas, he's not as excited as your average boy might be on the big morning. Still, he's kind of amazed by the amount of gifts that he has received from people. He hadn't really been expecting that. He also wonders where the strange egg came from,

. So many pokemon eggs. He stares at the pile, wondering where to start, since you opened the presents, right?

Tug, tug. Roxas turns his attention to Sparky, who is looking up at him, paws behind his back. Once he knows he has Roxas's attention, Sparky starts to talk. For pokemon watching at home, it's pretty much a speech about how he's been with Roxas since the beginning, and how much he's appreciated Roxas as his trainer, and that he's glad to be Roxas's pokemon. Whether or not Roxas understands is really not the point, since he's listening intently with an unreadable expression on his face. Then Sparky takes out his present, which is a small, blue stone, similar to the one that Roxas got from the Struggle Trophy back in Twilight Town. The Pikachu wants it to be a symbol of their friendship.

Rather unexpectedly, Sparky is swept up into a hug. It's still hard to read Roxas's expression, but still, it's a lot of emotion being displayed by a boy who isn't supposed to have any]

[Texted to all who gave him gifts later. Strikes deleted]

Uh..thanks, Everyone. ~~I didn't think that..~~. Really. Uh, Terra, Lea, Hope, and anyone else, I owe you something.

[ooc: tags to come weirdly, since holidays and I'll probably be running around for the next few days helping out and entertaining company. Backtagging is welcoming, even if you're tagging a few days from now. You can address the scene on screen, the gifts he's given, or just action. kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/File:Struggle_Trophy_Crystal.png link to image of Sparky's gift.

Merry Christmas, Roxas... my dear... friend.

[Knock knock, Roxas! It's a present delivery! ~~Just don't ask how he found where you were staying.~~]

[Nod, an then sort of mumbling]

I hope you liked the present.

[Roxas gets up and has to wade through the wrapping paper that's starting to cover the floor. Axel and Sparky like playing with it. Opening the door now..]

Mr. Cecil?

Hello, Roxas! Merry Christmas! I have a present for you!

[There is an unwrapped Thunderstone in his hands. What, no one told him he had to wrap them.]

Oh..uh...thank you. Um, I have something for you as well.

[By his bag, the wrapping isn't very good]

You can come in, if you want.

You're welcome. I hope it will be useful to you.

Thank you. [He cautiously enters the room.] Is your team doing well?

I'm sure it will.

Yeah, they're doing well. We'll probably go to the festival later.

[He's got the gift now, and is holding out the present]

Are you participating in any particular activity, or will you simply be looking around?

[He takes it carefully.] Thank you very much. May I unwrap it now?

That's so sweet of Sparky.

I do! It's absolutely adorable! I'm going to sleep with it every night.

I hope you liked mine too.

[Reminder, it was a scarf, hand-made, with his name on it]

Good.

Yeah, it was really nice. Thank you.

Just looking around.

[quietly] If you want to.

Yeah. I wasn't...really expecting it...[Glances at his pikachu, who leans against his trainer] But I guess we've been together for a while.

Thank you, for the skateboard.

I might be going myself, if my Pokémon stop trying to launch themselves at plants.

Thank you. [He unwraps it carefully. When he sees the TM, his face breaks into a wide smile.] A TM? It's wonderful! Thank you very much! Ice Beam? That's perfect, none of my Pokémon are Ice-types and I'd been hoping to compensate for that.

Right, the mistletoe.

It is? That's good. I wasn't really what one you needed...

You have excellent taste in TMs. From what I can tell, Ice-types are not exactly common, not counting those Snovers.

Hey, it's no problem, Roxas! [Just grins.] Glad you got it, Dilan was kind of cranky when he made it back here. Cold air must have gotten to him since he's just perched near the fire.

[Hey, he isn't going to comment about Sparky, it seems like a Pokemon/Trainer moment. It was a nice gesture, even if he didn't get anything past 'his pokemon is giving him a gift'.]

I just sort of guessed. But yeah, they aren't.

Have you caught any? They were talking about decorating them, but I did not quite understand what they meant.

[You'll still be getting some kind of repayment]

It must have been hard, travelling in the weather.

Not any ice types. They don't seem to be in the area much.

I don't get it either. I'm going to check it out when I go to the festival.

[Too bad XP]

Yeah.. well, if anything, he's getting pampered by Isa right now. [Looks over where his Flareon is keeping the fire nice and stoked for her winged buddy, along with her two babies and Sheep, and a couple of eggs. Surprise gifts?] And he kind of deserves to put some work out since he went and had an egg on me with Namine's pokemon.

I suppose they could all be hiding further north, but you would think that a blizzard would attract more than living trees.

It must be some sort of local tradition. I can only hope it doesn't hurt them.

I should have gotten him a little something, too. Sorry, Sparky.

Hee, I figured after the bicycle incident, you're better off with what you're good at.
