[ Closed action, Helix ]

[ He's nervous as they head down to the beach, backpack filled not only with presents but with a few choice items as well. Ritualistic. A ceremony he hasn't been a part of for years and that normally requires a month of preparations but here they are in the land of last-minute-surprises and Aidan can't pass up this opportunity. It's as close as he'll ever get to a Winter Solstice celebration ever again and although it isn't a pig being slaughtered and there's no designated boulder here, he'll do what he can with what he's got.

Hands bare and reddened by the cold, he reaches out to grab Helix's hand as they walk. Nervous. Excited. ]

[Video; open ]

Hey, y'all. Happy holidays and uh... and all that. [ Unsure if he did that right. They don't do Christmas where he's from and that's very much the point of this transmission. ] I was thinkin', I bet there's plenty of us that don't celebrate th' way the Wardens've set this up. We've got people from all over the worlds after all, it'd be weird if everyone did it just like this.

How do you do it back where you're from? Do you celebrate... Christmas or is it somethin' else?

Oh, and uh... I'll be doin' a little celebration type thing of my own down at th' beach, if anyone wants to join. Just a little somethin' from back home... bring a cup, if you're comin' down.

[ Action; open. Aidan can be found down at the beach together with Helix. They've set up a fire in one of the fire pits and anyone interested will get an introduction to the godless earth-worshipping religion that Aidan is a surprisingly devout follower of. He can also be found scurrying over the dome throughout the day, delivering GIFTS to friend and foe alike! If your character isn't on the list but has some kind of CR with Aidan, feel free to assume they got something useful and generic like a pair of gloves or a scarf! ]

	We could meet at a restaurant in Little Earth? Or at the coffee shop. They have really nice peppermint tea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Coffee shop sounds good, actually! I could use something warm. See you there in... ten minutes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She smiles at him happily.] Ten minutes, yes. I won't be late. [It won't take her that long to hurry home and get her present for Aidan and then head over to the coffee shop.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ The good part about deciding where to meet is that he doesn't have to haul every present ever all over the dome in the hopes of meeting the person he's supposed to give it to. He arrives fairly unencumbered, happily smiling as he spots her. ] Hey, Miranda! Happy Christmas! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Happy Christmas to you, too, Aidan. [She stands up from her seat to greet him, her gift wrapped in simple green paper sitting on it. She motions it.] Ah...would you like to open it first, or do you want a cup of tea? I was just about to order one for myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tea sounds good, actually. I'm used t' colder weather but it still gives a nip at th' cheeks, doesn't it? [ Perpetual smile! He motions for her to sit down. ] What kind do you want? I'll get it for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Um--I was just getting a peppermint tea, they're very good for cold weather, but you don't have to! I can get it for myself really. [It's very polite of him, but Miranda invited him, so why should he be the one doing the ordering?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey now, you just sit down and relax. I don't mind — actually, I kinda like doin' nice things for girls, so I'd be happy to get you some tea. [ A roguish smile! ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
