Gratitude

[over_under_being]

[Do you have CR with Texotic? Then she is going to hesitantly approach you, holding a bag full of gifts. Not a Santa-like bag, just a bag. Also her clothes and looks in general are different than before now.]

You give presents during Christmass, don't you? Take this.

... And thank you. For everything.

[All tsundere-like, she hands you a gift! What could it be?]

(Don't worry about describing the gift you receive, that's my part.)

I'm not very open to new ideas, I just did it because I wanted to.

So, let's go on a date.

[saikyocivrobo]

That's sudden! Do you want to do it here and now...?

[over_under_being]

Why not? We already did it once before.

Besides that way you can buy the present for me.

[How materialistic.]

[saikyocivrobo]

You got surprisingly bossy when I wasn't looking.

Alright, let's go. Would you want to watch a movie again? I'm pretty sure they have an even better repertoire here.

[over_under_being]

Bossy? I'm not bossy, what makes you think that?

Well, let's go then!

[saikyocivrobo]

Eh, I'm just teasing. Don't take it seriously.

Let's see what movie sounds like it will be fun. We can pick a gift for you after that.

[Werter offers his hand. Not sure if Texotic will take it or even understand what he does, but hey, worth a try!]

[over_under_being]

[Nod.]

Ah. Thanks.

[Texotic hangs her bag on Werter's hand. How convenient.]

[saikyocivrobo]

[Well, that was unexpected.]

...You're welcome.

[Time to go watch a movie that looks both like it should have funny parts and moving parts that will make Texotic cry! Because that's what she seems to like, and also alien moe.]

[over_under_being]

[After the movie.]

...

There is a bathroom here, yes? Or something similar.

[Is anyone watery-eyed? Definitely not Texotic, at least she won't admit it.]

[saikyocivrobo]

Feeling alright? Are you crying? I admit, I got a bit teary-eyed myself when that guy took the other guy's place to go to the war with Zeon...

Anyway, the bathroom is over there. Don't forget your bag!

[Werter hands it over. Why do they keep watching musicals?]

[over_under_being]

I'm not crying!

[Texotic grabs the bag and quickly moves where pointed.

She will return after a moment - a longer one.]

Why must humans start wars... it would be better if everyone lived in harmony...

[Her mascara is a bit messed up, almost like if Texotic was wiping her eyes or something. But what are the odds of that?]

I'm done, let's go.

[saikyocivrobo]

Some humans are just horrible bastards, I'm afraid. And sometimes those bastards happen to be in charge. But on the other hand, some are also really good people to balance that. The movie has shown that part of humanity as well, didn't it?

[Werter puts his hand on Texotic's shoulder. It's meant to be a comforting gesture.]

Alright. Where to now? The store, or do you want to eat something? And, er, I hope the makeup didn't give you any trouble.

[Always a valid concern as far as Texotic is concerned. But then, she still has both eyes, so she probably manages for now.]

[over_under_being]

[Nod.]

It did. Sniff...

[Surprisingly, Texotic does not balk to the touch like usual. Anyway it takes her a second to compose herself.]

Makeup? I didn't do it, the people of the salon did. But I bought things that let me do it myself after we leave.

[That sounds promising. Let's try to avoid any future eye gouging.]

Don't worry. I already ate a lot today.

[saikyocivrobo]

You know how to use those "things", right? Maybe you should ask Laura for directions...

Anyway, let's go. Tell me if something catches your eye. Though I might offer my suggestions if I think something fits you. Might; I'm not too knowledgable about fashion, I'm afraid.

[over_under_being]

Of course I know how to use them. It shouldn't be hard at all!

Do we go where I was earlier, or somewhere else?

[saikyocivrobo]

Well... I wouldn't be surprised if you already got all the stuff you wanted from that store, so maybe we should look for another one.

[over_under_being]

Ah. That's a good point.

Let's go somewhere else, then.

[A while later, after being led by Texotic's keen sense of direction (read: you're getting lost all the time), she finally stands in front of a dedicated jeweler's. Which means it's not a cheap place by any means.]

There. This should be good - so let's get inside.

[saikyocivrobo]

...Oh. This is the place you picked, huh? I hope you're not overestimating Santa's budget...

[Werter can hear his wallet crying already.]

Well, it won't hurt to look inside, I suppose...

[over_under_being]

"Welcome!"

[The clerks are welcoming but the prices aren't. As for the selection... Texotic's eyes go wide as she scans around the shop.]

I... am not exactly sure what to choose, myself.

[saikyocivrobo]

Err... Maybe somewhere around this section?

[Werter tries to look for stuff that actually fits within his budget for non-vital expenses. Might be hard though.]

[over_under_being]

Ohh?

[Inches closer towards the somewhat affordable section. Success! You get to eat this month.]

What about this then?

[Texotic points at a silver link bracelet.]

[saikyocivrobo]

Well, it's up for you to decide! Just make sure you're absolutely certain. This is not a purchase you make every day, you know.

Partially because I'm the one making it, but you catch my drift.

[over_under_being]

Yes, I am certain!

[And this is how impulse shopping must look like. Bracelet get - added to the rest Texotic is wearing.]

There.

[saikyocivrobo]

Well, that was sudden! Alright.

[Werter pulls out his wallet.]

I hope you will enjoy your gift. Merry Christmas from non-robo Santa. Ho ho ho.
