[It's been a long time since he's had to put this skill to use, since Kashuu had refused to let him make anything out of the stupid roses his Mysterious Admirer left in his room. Still, Yasusada is nothing if not dedicated, and he'd practiced enough with Mikoto that he'd be hard-pressed to forget all those efforts now.
That's why, when he shows up, he's armed with supplies--with floral wire already shaped into circles of various sizes, it's left him plenty of room for all sorts of different winter flowers. No mistletoe bats, thankfully.]
Do you think these will be enough? I can go get some more if you want!
Nope, Anya is happy to invite Yamato into her home that's became something of a Santa's Workshop. It fits the warm atmosphere, all the holiday decorations that are already up right at the beginning of the month. Anya is happy to help him with whatever she can so that nothing drops.]
I think this is good! Милая.... Yamato brought so many pretty flowers...
[Christmas Elf Anya is ridiculously easy to picture, good lord... but it only helps Yasusada get into the holiday spirit even more, and he smiles brightly at her as he brings them inside.]
Mikoto-kun taught me how to make some things last winter, and Kiyomitsu always has tons of this stuff, so it wasn't too hard to get. [just casually steals his boyfriend's things, it's fine] Have you made anything like this before, An-chan?
A little... Mm, Founder's Day - Mikoto made me one. [a little gesture to the top of her head, a flower crown she means] It was so lovely that I pressed the flowers into a book.
Ah! You did that too? [He smiles brightly, pleased to hear he hadn't been the only one with that idea.]
I tried to do it with some of Kiyomitsu's flowers, but I dropped them when they started sprouting from him again... [TRAGIC.] But we can make some really nice ones that people will want to save too!
[...Except that he totally stole some from Kashuu's stash for this too IT'S FINE THEY'RE DATING KASHUU'S THINGS ARE NOW HIS THINGS that's how it works right
BUT YES in they go. It takes concentration, but it's a repetitive enough task that it's easy to keep up conversation.] How have you been, An-chan? Did you make any holiday plans?
Ah, a party? That sounds like fun. [GOOD GOOD... and he's especially pleased to hear her mention Yato, since he knows just how much it means to him these days, being remembered.
As for his own plans, though--]
Mm, I'm not sure... normally dad comes home and I go visit him and mama on Christmas, but they don't use Retrospec, so...
[So the chances of something happening before Christmas to make them forget he exists (again) or something are disturbingly high?? Yasusada loves his parents dearly, which makes the past year all the more difficult.
He pauses, brow furrowing.] --Eh, are you supposed to do something if you're dating?
Anya blinks at that. True, her mother isn't on Retrospec either but that doesn't mean Anya loves her any less. Their rare days together are still important, but they talk about things that aren't about the world. The only major change is that since nothing tastes like anything anymore, it's harder to get excited for baking....
Though the question manages to throw her off.]
Dating?
Oh - for you and Kiyomitsu?
[well there's an easy part:]
Подарок! If you do not get him a gift, he will pout.
[Bless Anya's utterly blunt personality, honestly, especially because Yasusada's just as bad...
He also doesn't even realize he never mentioned Kashuu or their new relationship, because he's an oblivious moron.]
Well, yes, that's true... but do you think I have to give it to him some special way? Like... hide it under his pillow? Or drop it down a chimney or something? [what]
She's shipped it for a thousand years she's not surprised by this at all and there are more pressing things - like how to deliver a gift to your beloved.]
[And is possibly the only thing that makes sense about any of this?? But moving on... he's just gonna hum thoughtfully as he carefully works a flower around the wire.] What would you like best, An-chan? If someone was going to give you a gift.
[It's not an eloquent description, but it doesn't have to be. Yasusada nods slowly, turning over her answer in his mind.]
So it's most important to spend time together? [He can understand that. Especially for someone as busy as Anya; he can't help letting a small smile cross his face, at that thought.] It's very special now, right? Since An-chan has idol things to do all the time.
Always special! Ah... Mama is at work right now - Mama is at work a lot? [it's why she grew up so independent and so prone to looking for company in... odd places] Even before idol things, that is why time with Mama is most important.
