[Ohoho, now who could this be? He’s lounging around when he answers straight away, almost as if he’d been standing by, expecting her call.]

Ah, so you did see it~ I was afraid someone might have swiped it before you had the chance.

Did it make you smile~?

[colorature]

Of course it did! I put it on my finger immediately!

_{[Not her left hand but, y'know, it's on her right and being flaunted.]}

It's sooo lovely, Belial!

[varnish]

I’m so flattered~

[A black rose and blue diamond. How could he not pick it up for her?]

Did Santa bring you any other presents this year?

[colorature]

Mm, Santa didn't but Tsurugi got me gifts and spoiled me. I didn't even have to ask him to! I was really touched.

_{[Those low standards...]}

I got a few gifts from other friends too...but I got something from the Creator as well. I'm not sure how to feel about it.

[varnish]

[... Does she actually believe in Santa]

Oho? And what did the dear Creator give you?

[colorature]

_{[Probably...]}

...A photograph of Saya and her adoptive family. One of the boys in the picture was supposed to be my Bridegroom as well.

[varnish]

Doesn’t sound like much of a gift.

Sounds like something meant to upset you, if anything.

[colorature]

It did upset me...but I put it in a frame anyway.

I miss my sister. At least if I look at this photograph I can pretend she's smiling at me.

[varnish]

Did she steal that boy in the picture from you?

[colorature]

Not really...if anything she replaced me with them all.

[varnish]

Now, now. I'm sure Saya-chan didn't mean to.

... Unless she's the vengeful sort, of course.

[colorature]

She was trying to kill me for over a century Belial.

[varnish]

Out of love~? There's different ways to kill people, you know.

[colorature]

Not out of love, no.

[varnish]

Hmm.

[Well! This conversation is dipping very fast. Not exactly the best way to spend the holiday season. Which is why he's quick to change the subject just a bit.]

Ah, though on that note, Diva-chan! You've got me curious about what Tsuru-san got you.

[colorature]

_{[A good idea, in all honesty.]}

Oh! He got me a lovely new coat, a pretty pearl necklace with a rose pendant and really cute boots!

[varnish]

Ohh? You don’t say...

[Are they real pearls... Is it real fur... Did he steal all of it]

Diva-chan was spoiled quite a bit this year, wasn’t she?

[colorature]

_{[As far as she can tell it's real. For once Tsurugi wasn't a total cheap ass.]}

I was! _{[Honestly she hadn't been expecting it.]} He really spoiled me that night...it was romantic.

[varnish]

What other romantic things did he do for you~? Don’t spare any details now.

[colorature]

Well we went for a walk around the same park we did on our first date. He got me a treat and even paid for it without crying or complaining. Oh, and we also had great sex!

[varnish]

[Ugh romance.]

How great was it? Try anything new?

[Look, this kind of thing isn't odd between them ok]

[colorature]

_{[Look she's got to take what she can get okay. It's not often that Tsurugi shows her his "romantic" side.]}

It was great. I wouldn't say we did anything new but he did have me calling him 'Daddy' that evening.

_{[Because she bought him slippers that said best dad on them...yeah.]}

Usually he's calling me 'Mommy', you know?

[varnish]

[Excuse him while he laughs out loud. He's just happy for her, ok? Totally not going to use this information against Tsurugi later.]

Did you now? And here I thought you'd never give it a shot~

[She did seem confused by it earlier on in their relationship, after all.]

So~? Were you into it?

[colorature]

_{[Hey don't laugh!! Only...yeah. Laugh. It's silly.]}

Mm, I was. It was nice for a change. He is the daddy of my babies after all...

[varnish]

That he is~

[Ok, ok, he’s calmed down now.]

Speaking of which, how are Hibi-chan and Kana-chan~?
