"Never?" That somehow struck Brooklyn as a surprise despite thinking of Winter as the most closed member of their Seasonals group. Because despite that, Winter was undeniably popular, or was before all this happened and it made those sorts of things harder to judge. So it seemed a little unlikely that Winter never brought anyone home for the holidays. But, still, that's what it was. "Well, that makes it special!" Great, I'm sure that made it all the better. "I'll be on my best behavior," she teased, but again with the sincere element of truth. She was not actually going to do anything to jeopardize Christmas for Winter and her brother, let alone do anything untoward in any of the their environments. So much as she could help, anyway—she'd have to brush up on proper etiquette.
Her head lolled to the side a bit in thought as Winter broached the subject of explaining. Which was very reasonable, because this situation was insane and the fact was they still didn't know precise why they were tied together aside from a vague hand wave and muttered 'mutants, man'. Not that the Admins did that and they were still assuredly looking into it, but there wasn't just a great situation to explain nonetheless. "I just... told them? I guess. My brother too." Her brow creased in thought. "I mean I just told my little brother what was going on - that were connected somehow through our powers, and we didn't know why yet, it was a mystery." A pause. "He accepted it, he was confused, but I think he just realized I honestly didn't know either and we don't so..." she let that line of thought trail off. "I don't think he really got it or anything and neither did I about all this being together forever and planning holidays, but yeah."
"D'you think he wouldn't understand? It's confusing anyway." Brooklyn gummed her lips in thought again. "I dunno, I guess I just felt being honest about how weird this whole thing is was for the best, you know?" Her family supported her, so it was an easy choice there.
