video; forward-dated to after the snow starts tomorrow

I never thought I'd be here long enough to see Christmas! Even if that means it's been a while - but, that's not a bad thing either, right? Because we all got to meet here. Oh, not that - not to say that I don't miss everyone at home, either...! But still...

( still, ranka's all pleasure, enjoying her view of the snow and giving the tablet a bright smile. thoughts like that won't bog her down at the moment. )

...and getting to see real snow, too! It's amazing, right?

( ooc: also in case i didn't get to you on the gift meme, ranka's cr can all assume they got cards and earnestly made christmas presents from her. EVEN IF THEY'VE ONLY TALKED ONCE OR SO you can assume at least a card :) also crying i totally am getting back to those masq threads even if it'll be a bit late )

On a daily basis if possible.

Wow! You must be a really strong person...

One cannot afford to be weak when participating in a war.

Then, you're going to be a fighter in this war?

I am. Any additional hands will help put an end to the conflict and see everyone home all the sooner.

Mm, that's true. And it'd be good if everyone could go home soon, right?

Precisely. Not everyone is suited for war so ending it quickly will be beneficial for them.

( she nods, looking down )

I'm not really a fighter either, so...um! Thank you.

( and then she looks back up and smiles )

[it feels weird to have some thank him for this, enough so that dome surprise crosses his usually stoic face.]

Not at all. I am only doing what I am best suited for. There are likely things which only you can do in this war, as well.

As for that...

No, you must be right! And every little bit helps, right?

Always. Big accomplishments cannot be made without the smaller steps in-between, without the aid of those who never hold a weapon.

You really think so?

( she just said something similar herself, of course, but saying and believing are two different things; and if someone like this believes it... )

I know so.

...I see! ( and she smiles brightly ) Thank you! I'll remember that, Mr Kratos!

Not at all.

[He looks up at the falling snow. Maybe it's not coming down too heavily, but this weather still isn't good for kids. After a moment, Kratos glances back at Ranka.]

You should head on back to your apartment. Staying outside in this weather for too long may have unpleasant consequences on your health.

( she looks back up at that, blinking as some snow falls into her eyes. )

That's true, but... ( BUT SNOW ) ...I don't want to miss it while it's still snowing.

[An eyebrow gets raised at her.]

You enjoy the snow so much so that you'd risk illness to watch it?

[Not judgmental or anything but just honestly curious.]

Well!

( gosh when he puts it like that )

When you say it like that, it just sounds silly...

[Sorry Ranka, he's a jerk.]

'Silly' things are permissible in moderation, just not when you may end up suffering as a result.

So what you mean is, it's okay as long as I don't get sick, right?
