Scene #2893:

Owner	Pose
Veronica Perenna	3rd of December With the month turning around, Veronica has started to get in the festive mood herself, and with the search for the fairy of Sarek still underway (it wasn't a search she was very engrossed with, admittedly, since she didn't have much to go on; more something she kept in the back of her mind while out on her heists), she and Laisa are effectively the only ones who have a say in what is being done with the island, so she is in the big mood for decorating the hideout with all sorts of winter decorations. For the occasion, she has decided to wear <<this will be edited with a description of Veronica's outfit>>. It was a choice she had tried to be quite thorough on since it happened to coincide with Laisa's birthday too, so she wanted to be at her best for it. Right after that, she had picked all the decorations she thought they could possibly want, and gradually moved the boxes over to the hideout. This too, was supposed to be a surprise, after all. <PHONE> Veronica Perenna texts Laisa Samuiko: Hello, Laisa! <PHONE> Veronica Perenna texts Laisa Samuiko: Got a bit of free time? <PHONE> Veronica Perenna texts Laisa Samuiko: I have something fun in mind :3 <PHONE> Veronica Perenna texts Laisa Samuiko: You can find me at the hideout of Sarek <PHONE> Veronica Perenna texts Laisa Samuiko: You can bring any decoration you would enjoy using. Sure, she had just given her game away, but she really wanted to make sure Laisa had decorations she enjoyed, and regardless, she was quite excited herself of doing this together with her. So, once she has sent her messages, she has decided to sit down on the grassy patch in front of the lake's hideout, and fiddles with the blades of grass while she waits for her girlfriend.
Laisa Samuiko	<PHONE> Laisa Samuiko texts Veronica Perenna: For you? Always~. <PHONE> Laisa Samuiko texts Veronica Perenna: Oh? Hehehe, sounds fun. <PHONE> Laisa Samuiko texts Veronica Perenna: I'll be right there, my kitten. It takes Laisa a little bit of time to get ready. She wants to look her best, but she doesn't want to make her sweetheart wait too long. Fortunately she does have an outfit picked out for this occasion that she's been keeping kind of a secret. The comment about decorations does kinda give away some of Veronica's intentions, but that just makes Laisa smile even more. There's fun in the quiet anticipation of things, in suspecting but not knowing. Especially since the surprise is coming from someone she trusts and feels safe around. Laisa actually does have a few decorations she likes, though her dorm room is small so they aren't many. That said, one of the benefits of being an artist is being able to make your own things. When she does arrive, Laisa is dressed in a manner that might remind one of a Christmas elf. She's wearing the red and wooly white Santa hat on top of her purple hair, and a long sleeveless halter-cut silky red dress that goes down to her knees. The light pink of her arm warmers and lipstick bridges the color gap between the purple of her hair and the red of her dress, and the minty green used for her eyeshadow and stockings serves as its compliment. There are a few more adornments on her outfit. Around her waist is a solid white sash, and she's wearing a pair of christmas tree earrings. Speaking of her ears, they are a bit pointier than usual. She's got some of those fake elf ears on. In her arms is a cardboard box full of tinsel, ornaments, lights, and a wreath. As she approaches her kitten with a smile, she calls out, "I wasn't sure if you meant decorations for a Christmas Tree, or a house. Then again, considering the locale..." Her red eyes glance towards the hideout for a moment before flickering back to Veronica.
Veronica Perenna	When Laisa shows up, Veronica immediately stands up, with eyes glistening towards her, with a warmth that radiates out of her smile as well. Her usual balance is proven absent at the time, as she stumbles on her feet, almost falling in her haste to get to Laisa. She blushes a bit at the gaffe, but she immediately going forward, ready to greet her beloved with all the joy she deserved. "Hi, my snowsweet", she replies softly, reaching out to caress her arm, and stepping to her side so Laisa can step forward. She looks at the outfit Laisa has worn for the occasion, and the shine in her eyes only glows. She could go on and on about the wonder of her choices, and the harmony provided by her lipstick and eyeshadow really would just make Veronica regard her choices as divinely inspired. (There was something to be said about the way the lipstick emphasized her beloved's lips too. But now is not the time for kisses.) "You are really so beautiful, you know that?" she says with a chime in her voice. "You choose marvelously." Her hand traces the fake ears and she adds. "Are you working for Santa now then? Guess us saving him has done some good", she jokes. "I better watch out so I stay out of his naughty list." "There would have been no wrong choice, Laisa-chan", Veronica comments warmly, and looks towards the hideout. With everything she has brought, she is sure they could have managed anything. "Do you want me to help you carry that?", Veronica asks her more seriously, eyeing the stone path ahead of them. Not really the most ideal thing to cross when carrying a burden, and not everyone had access to a water-ready form. Then again, she is sure Laisa could just freeze the path forward, if she really wanted.
Laisa Samuiko	Laisa slows her step down a notch when Veronica starts rushing towards her in such a hurry. As eager as she is to get close to her beloved painter, she doesn't want to cause a collision with her arms full of stuff. So she waits for her darling to approach with a smile and a blush, because someone she cares so much for is so happy to see her. Laisa's blush gets more intense as Veronica embraces her arm, and she smiles and leans against her for a moment. "You're quite lovely yourself, you know. Such a cute outfit suits you nicely. I love all the little details. The bows look so cute." Her eyes also go to the heart-shape broach, and she can't help but think for a moment that her girlfriend's outfit looks like a magical girl. Well, the Princess of Sarek ''is'' a magical girl, but like... a different kind. She giggles as Veronica says there would have been no wrong choice, and then when offered a bit of help carrying it the last little ways, Laisa winks. "Oh? Is this how you're keeping yourself on the nice list?" Then she considers before saying, "Hm... the wreath maybe? It would make things a bit lighter. Honestly, what might actually help would be if you could get the door." The gothy girl meekly smiles and says, "I guess I get a bit enthusiastic around this time of year." Freezing the path forward is certainly an option, but she'd have to be in henshin for that. For now she chooses to simply be careful. She knows this path pretty well by now. "So... were you thinking of decorating the inside first, or the outside? I might actually need to use magic if we get too far high up." After a moment she says, "Oh, I brought lights but there's no electricity here, is there? I wonder if we could bring batteries..."
Veronica Perenna	A happy blush replaces the previous one over Veronica's cheeks. "Why, thank you very much, my love", she replies with a wink, and then allows herself a peck on her love's cheek. She can probably do that much without getting in the way of Laisa's balance, and her heart can only beat faster when the purple-haired girl leans against her, gifting Veronica with her warmth. "It really means a lot everytime you say it." And she is quite glad her efforts have turned out well. After all, she is using this everytime they celebrate together, especially since they are leading up to her birthday. That has to be the most special day ever. "Maybe?", she giggles too, at Laisa's quip. "But I feel Santa might put on the naughty list just because he too knows I really don't need another gift with you by my side", she looks at her softly. She doesn't hesitate to fish the wreath out of the box, and hangs in on her elbow, shaking her arm a bit to show the dangling wreath. "But we are not even at the door and we have already started decorating", she smiles mischievously, and goes ahead, hopping from stone to stone to reach the door. "The prettiest and kindest first", Veronica looks up from a bow she just went it, holding the door open for Laisa. Once she is inside, she closes the door behind them, and lowers the wreath on a table. "Yeah, there really isn't electricity", she hums, once she realised Laisa brought light too. All the light comes from the magic of the realm itself. They really can't turn out their decorations with that. Do you want me to go get batteries quickly?", she suggests.
Laisa Samuiko	As Laisa is kissed on the cheek, she considers herself to be the luckiest girl ever. Veronica really is precious to her, and she's someone that Laisa could catch herself thinking about all day if she let her mind wander. "Then I'll say it all the time, because it's true. You are wonderful and I adore you," says Laisa, with a lightness and a warmth in her voice that is reserved only for her kitten. "... and if Santa puts you on the naughty list I'll just have to make up the difference myself, dear," she adds with a wink. The joke about already decorating gets Laisa to laugh, as she follows after her girlfriend on the way to the door. She's careful about her step, though she is questioning a little bit her choice to attempt this out of henshin, and in the end she manages to get through. At the door, she giggles at Veronica's compliment. "Actually, I believe you win on both accounts, but my arms are a little too full for me to argue!" Once past the threshold, she makes sure to leave room for Veronica to follow behind her, and she finds a table to gently set the box down on. Laisa steps back and crosses her arms, tilting her head to consider. "Hm. No. Let's wait for later to worry about the batteries. The lights can be a finishing touch. Besides, the light coming off of the crystals is already very pretty." Once Laisa's arms are free, and she notices that Veronica's are as well, she steps closer to hold her in her arms for a moment. "It's good to see you. Thanks for inviting me. This is going to be so much fun!"
Veronica Perenna	Can she be greedy and ask for that much from her beloved, that gives to her so freely and bountifully? Everything Laisa does never fails to light up one more star in the sky of Veronica's life, and she is ever so glad to her for just how lovely Laisa is. "You really are spoiling me. Careful, because every time I hear the sound of your voice, I just fall for you more and more", Veronica playfully warns her, and squeezes her arm. "I look forward to your wonderful surprises, and to giving you just as much back." As happy as Laisa is able to make Veronica feel, seeing her snowsweet's face light up is just as much a way to be really happy. She giggles too in unison with Laisa, and her stomach makes a flip at the value her girlfriend gives her. Neither of them would be willing to let the other win, but that's something they don't actually need. Just as Veronica was attentive when Laisa crossed, so is Laisa to her, and they can both just maintain their wonderful balance day-to-day. The brunette's gaze falls on the content of the box Laisa has brought, and then her own around the room with the widest grin. This is going to be so much fun, and she can't wait to see the way they will turn the room into a spectacle of colours with their own choices and little trinkets. They slide so easily to the back of Veronica's mind when Laisa comes in for her hug, and just as easily Veronica's arms take in the smoothness of Laisa's presence. It's really just so easy to let herself be enveloped. "Can I go for a kiss?" she asks, and if she receives a positive reply, her lips approach hers, and taste the fullness of hers. Either way, she enjoys that precious brevity, and with a caress to where Laisa's hair meets her forehead, Veronica steps back, and lifts one of her own boxes next to Laisa's. "Sorry, I need to stop now, or else I never will. You are just so comforting", the blue-eyed girl confesses with a warm whisper. She looks at her lovingly and then takes out a snow globe with a little winged penguin in it. "What do you think? Isn't it cute?"
Laisa Samuiko	Laisa could very easily flirt with Veronica all day. There is so much that is wonderful about her kitten that she would never run out of nice things to say about her. Of course, she also ''knows'' this about herself and if she lets herself go she's going to completely forget about decorations. "You're spoiling me right back, you know. Always so kind. Always so good to me," coos Laisa. She's glad that she came here today, as she often is, because now she gets to spend so much time with her favorite person. The gentle affection in Veronica's presence soothes her, and Laisa can't help but feel relaxed. When they embrace, and her kitten asks for permission to kiss, Laisa says, "You may, but just once. Otherwise nothing else will get done." Then the kiss comes, and Laisa is silent as she presses her lips back. Her arms squeeze a little bit tighter, and a thought crosses her mind that forgetting about decoration to cuddle her girlfriend wouldn't really be ''that'' bad... Though to be honest, they will both get tired eventually, and there may be some time to cuddle then. It's with a slight hesitation that Laisa pulls away. She is caught in her beloved's gravity, and always feels the pull, but also she meant what they said. Besides, sometimes romance is best if there's time to anticipate it beforehand. "Even in this we are on the same page, my dear," admits Laisa, agreeing with Veronica that they should stop. With a slight frown, she reaches up to touch the Rime Rosary around her neck for a moment, just to stop her from getting too caught up. Then she looks at the snow globe that her sweetheart is showing her and giggles. "Oh, that's adorable. I love it!" Reaching into her own box, she pulls out various colors of tinsel, reds and blues and greens. She takes one garland of it and holds it up for Veronica to see. "I was thinking we could decorate the doorways or line the walls with this. What do you think?"
Veronica Perenna	There certainly isn't a time or space where Veronica wouldn't feel the pull her beloved exherts on her, and even when Laisa isn't her, just her mere thought is enough to feel Veronica with a spark of vitality, even when she is feeling tired due to the effect of her curse. Perhaps that's why she has learnt to know her limits, and focus when it's needed. "I am happy you like it, my snowsweet. I have a lot more like it. Pick any you like", Veronica smiles encouragingly. Then she is hit by a thought. "This could be like a fairy of its own. Do you think something like it exists out there?" she expresses as she focuses on the falling white coming to adorn the head of the penguin and its wings. And the decorations certainly won't hang themselves now, won't they? They are here for this, to gain the enjoyment of seeing what they both like all over the hideout. And it will certainly much more pleasant then, to cuddle with the harmony of their work all around them. "I think you have a beautiful idea", Veronica squeezes her free hand, and reaches out for the a similar tinsel to the one the holder of her heart has taken out, and lifts one end, resting it over the top end of her bed, and then doing the same with the rest. "Then you will just have it really easy to appear in my dreams now", she comments, and takes out stylised wooden icicles from her box, starting to slide them in the tinsel one by one, until she has a sample line of four of them. "What do you think? Do we use this setup?" Still, words slip out of her mouth while she looks at the decorations she brought. "I was not kidding, you know? Just thinking of you is enough to make any tiredness fade", she says while putting the snowglobe on a wardrobe close by.
Laisa Samuiko	A fairy? Who is a penguin? Laisa tries to imagine what's that like. Would a penguin fairy wear a navy crew uniform and a matching hat, maybe? No, that's a silly idea. Laisa has never heard of such a thing. Smiling softly, she shrugs and says, "I mean... there are all kinds of mascots and fairies out there. Who can say?" She admires the snowglobe for a moment before she pauses and blinks. "You know... if anyone out there would have a penguin mascot, it'd be an ice user like me. Right?" Yes, that makes perfect sense to her. Laisa giggles at her girlfriend's tease about the dreams. "Good idea! A shared dream with you is one of my favorite places to be. Then again, 'with you' describes a lot of my favorite places to be." As she watches the wooden icicles slide onto the tinsel, Laisa covers her mouth for a moment and says, "Ooh, I like that. Especially for ones that we hang over windows. We'd want to make sure that the doors don't hit them, but I suppose that's already the case." Though that also depends upon which way the door opens. Veronica says that she isn't kidding. Laisa looks into the box of things she brought and starts unpacking them, one by one. "I'm not kidding you, either. I mean... I may be flirting or teasing sometimes, but nothing I'm saying is false. You are very dear to me." She then takes a few of her ball ornaments and holds them up to watch them shine. She goes up to the tinsel with a sample line and starts placing the ornaments in between each wooden icicle, so that they have an alternating pattern. Laisa holds it up to show Veronica. "How about something like this? I bet we could make it look really nice."
Veronica Perenna	Veronica nods at Laisa's thoughts. That idea makes sense to her. "I think you would be right. Maybe some water user could have a penguin fairy, but... They live in the Antarctic, right?", she hums, taking sticky light-up cat silhouettes out of her box and starting to attach them to windows. "Makes sense to me they would be drawn to you, or someone like you. Really, it's their loss they haven't already." She adds a smile to her consideration. Did her penguin lose its way somehow? Maybe they will find one around Tokyo in a beachside hotel. How hard could it possibly be? A soft red covers her cheek as her eyes shine at the same time. "Maybe we could try it, once this Subsy deal is over. Just ask Emi to let us into the world of dreams, and see where that takes us. I am expecting mine to have at least a Laisa constellation and a Mou one", she says with a crystalline giggle. She then takes out a pot of white lilies and places it on the center table. "I took this from my room. I will only be leaving it here when we are in it, but I think it adds a nice touch to the place." She nods at the cats sticking to windows under the tinsels with the icicles. "I think those look good too", she tells her, having gone back to focus on the matter of decorations. "What would you like to add?"
Laisa Samuiko	A water user with a penguin fairy? Laisa hms. "I mean maybe. It'd be a pretty long swim away, but some fairies and mascots are from other planets so who knows?" Though really, Laisa knows well enough that magical beings don't always follow simple rules. Yet at the same time they seem to follow ''some'' kind of logic, right? Laisa blushes lightly at the thought of wandering their actual dream worlds with each other. Oh my, that would be ''quite'' a date, she thinks. Hearing the sound of her beloved's giggle amplifies the feeling. "That actually sounds nice. Sharing a dream with you. If we run across something a cat wearing a lily behind her ear it's probably because of me." Speaking of, Veronica's favorite flowers are added to the room, and Laisa softly smiles. "Oh, those look lovely. I think that's a great place for them." Laisa watches Veronica attack the cat silhouettes to the windows, and once she sees them she smiles widely. "Oh, that's so pretty! Maybe I should find something like that but for snowflakes. That might have to wait until next time, though. Unless you happen to have some?" Laisa looks curiously at the boxes that Veronica has moved over here already. Reaching down into the box she brought with her, Laisa pulls out another smaller box and starts unpacking the contents. It's a set of ceramic decorations: a tree, a gingerbread man, a few snowmen. She reaches up to the top of the wardrobe and starts placing them around the snowglobe. "I think these look nice. What do you think?"
Veronica Perenna	"Yeah, we do", Veronica stares up at the ceiling, never really having thought about that angle. "It must have been an awfully long trip for Luna. And she must have a ship cats can operate then." Then she exhales in a quick burst. "''Intelligent'' cats of course", she corrects herself with a smile. She is not sure Anko would be able to use technology, let alone a normal cat. Her mouth widely stretches when she hears about the cat, and she abandons the decorations to warmly hug her snowsweet. "That sounds so adorable. I just love it so much, my love", Veronica says, and lightly kisses the side of her face. But it has a hard time competing with the sight of Laisa's blush, which has her heart in a squeeze. Veronica slowly shakes her head when she is asked about the figures. "I tried, but no luck. They did have the icicles, so I went ahead and got those, but I intend to look again some other time. They can't evade me forever", she promises to Laisa. The brunette leans forward when Laisa starts rummaging through her box, curious about what she will bring out next. "Ohhhh." She looks enchanted by the snowglobe Laisa has taken out, and peers closely at all the different details. "I think so. Definitely so. It's so intricate and pretty." She then goes to her box again, and takes a big 'Merry Christmas' sign, with decorations as if it is snowing, and right on top of the 'C' the snow has accumulated into a pile. "I never really thought about how pretty snowglobes art, but I find this pretty cute all the same."
Laisa Samuiko	Laisa hms as Luna is discussed. "Intelligent cats? So... you'd probably do just fine them." After a moment she hms. "Well, unless it was cramped. Do you think a cat spaceship would be roomy enough for a human?" As interesting as it is that Anko can talk, Laisa would probably not trust her to run anything as complicated as a space ship. Seeing Veronica close in for a hug, Laisa sets down what she's holding to embrace her kitten. She blushes more and holds her close as she's kissed, then settles into the hug to peck Veronica's cheek. Regarding the figures, Laisa shrugs. "Ah, well. Still, I think the cat silhouettes are very pretty. You have good taste, my dear. We'll have to keep a look out. I'm sure ''someone'' has cute snowflake art pieces around this time of year." Laisa giggles and says, "I'm glad you like them." Then she looks at the sign and says, "Aww, I like that. Hehehe. Well, I think we're heading in a good direction, at least. Thanks for inviting me to this. Decorating the hideout together is such a sweet idea." Laisa takes a wreath and places it on the door, and then starts setting up the tinsel lines above the windows. A lot of care and focus is put onto how things are placed, how symmetrical it is, and a few minor details are sorted out. She stands back for a moment to look at her handiwork to see how she feels about it.
Veronica Perenna	Veronica belts out a tune slowly while she considers her girlfriend's scenario. She guesses it could be, especially if you consider the Sailor Senshi, but she doesn't really know. "Could be either, but I am not sure the Senshi would appreciate being stuck in a tiny spaceship against each other for the duration of the trip. Luna's ears wouldn't appreciate it either, I think." She winces and presses with both hands on top of her head, to give Laisa an idea, but the winces passes instantly, as she is hugged too, and she happily leans into the embrace, enjoy the warmth of her beloved and of her affection. "I wonder if Luna would have shown me if I had asked while I was still a cat." She ignores the feeling in her heart asking for time after a few seconds, and steps away from Laisa. "Thank you, thank you. I think you have great taste too. We will find them. With a pair like us, they stand no chance", she happily winks at Laisa. She is having a great time too, and probably the lightness of her steps, the warm light in her eyes, the ease of her smile... There are a lot of signs she is enjoying herself, a ''lot'' more than she would have had doing it by herself. "The pleasure is all mine, really. I think we are making it look so much more lively." She takes out little snow angel figures, and takes a moment to find out especially empty corners, or corners that could use a touch of white, and soon those spaces have the small angels hanging out, providing their own harmony to the room.
Laisa Samuiko	Laisa tries to imagine all of the poor senshi crammed into a tiny spaceship made for cats, and even watches Veronica's demonstration. She giggles and says, "Ah, perhaps they wouldn't. Sounds terribly uncomfortable." The snow angel thinks that she could likely hug Veronica all day long if she let herself. In fact, she knows she could, but then they still wouldn't have the house decorated. Well, they could always rest with each other later. As Laisa hears Veronica's singing and watches the various signs of enjoyment she gives off, she admires her girlfriend when she thinks the other isn't watching her. Laisa really did pick a cute one. One might think it'd be some kind of paradox to be adorable and heroic at the same time, but somehow Veronica manages to pull it off. "So pretty..." says Laisa, and then blushes when she realizes she said that out loud. "I mean... the snow angels. I really like them." Turning her mind more towards decorations, her eyes look at all that they've covered so far. "We have a lot for the walls, windows and furniture... Should we do something about the floor or ceiling? I admit I don't have any christmas themed rugs, but... Laisa reaches into her box and starts pulling out little snowflake ornaments. They shine and twinkle almost like stars. She looks up at the ceiling and holds one up to see how it looks. "These are pretty light. I bet a few of these up here would complete the look." Then she giggles and says, "We're creating quite the busy scene, aren't we?"
Veronica Perenna	Veronica does feel she is being watched (blame it on instincts honed during her capers), but she is just happy to let the moment be. She gets it too, being with Laisa just feels right, and she cannot help but admire her either. A few minutes pass while she places the snow angels and occasionally hangs an extra tinsel, and she starts staring in front of herself when she hears Laisa's remark. Her heart skips a beat at the compliment brought on by the purple-haired girl's sweet voice, even if her trying to pass it off on the snow angels does get her to tilt her head slightly. She would have thought they had been past coyness. She quietly steps over, and leans towards Laisa's side, admiring their handiwork. "I really like snow angels too. Soft, pretty, calm... Lots of qualities, don't you think?", Veronica asks, turning her head towards Laisa with a catlike smile. She turns back to look at the room. They really have put a lot, and besides the ceiling, she doesn't think they could add much more. Luckily for her, Laisa has got both of them covered. "That's a smart idea, and pretty too." She starts using chairs, and everything they have around to help reach that high up, even offering Laisa to sit on her shoulders if she wants. At one point she is in henshin too, for extra jumping power. But the lights are in place then, and the house can enjoy the twinkling of the snow that the hideout is normally not privy to. Is it matching the twinkling in Veronica's eyes when they reach the 25th, and she gets to call over her beloved to celebrate both Christmas and her birthday? Not a chance. She is so very excited, and on the table rest a big bucket of KFC as is Japanese tradition, and a sponge cake she bought with white frosting and snowy trees made of sugar paste on top, replacing the usual candies (she has prepared a 16 candle if she wants to blow on it, though she is keeping it aside for the moment.) At the bottom of the cake, lie two packages. One red and purple, the other azure.
Laisa Samuiko	They might be past coyness, but the girl who turns her emotions off half the time isn't necessarily past ''shyness''. Plus they were trying to contain themselves long enough to set everything up, and showering her girlfriend with (well deserved) compliments might lead to things that get in the way of that. Not that Laisa could really contain herself for too long. Now it's the day of, and Laisa gets to spend both her birthday and Christmas with her beloved. This might very well be the best birthday she's ever had, really. On the way she brought a bag that she carries with both hands, and when she gets to Sarek's hideout she sets it down on the table. The first thing she pulls out is a blue and white wrapped present, clearly something soft and light with the way that it doesn't even make a noise when she sets it on the table. Then she pulls out four thermoses, each one set down on turn. "The first two are hot chocolate," she explains. "The third and fourth are ice cream." Then she points at the giftwrapped present and says, "That is for you. I hope you enjoy it." Once she's settled in she notices the cake and gets a good look at it. "Oh, that looks so pretty!" Then she also notices the fried chicken and giggles. "Ah, of course. Christmas is a time for romance, is it not?" Laisa walks over to Veronica and holds her closely. "Thank you. How did I get such a wonderful girlfriend? I'm so lucky."
Veronica Perenna	There is a moment where Veronica has picked up her gift and is lightly shaking it, feeling the weight, and admiring the wrappings from all sides. The first two instances, she really wanted to feel what it was like, and didn't really want to open the package yet, so she is calming down her desire to know what's inside. The last, well, it is some good wrapping. Laisa picked well. Which is also why she doesn't deserve any lesser, and considering that this day is home to two happy moments for Laisa, then she of course would get to go first. "Thank you, my snowsweet", Veronica says, putting her hands over her back and pulling her close. "It's so pretty, thank you lots, my love", Veronica remarks, and then lets her go to address the table. "Of course, Christmas is, and there is nobody more than I want to spend it with than you, Laisa", Veronica comments earnestly. "You light me up every time, so I really want to show you what you mean to me", she says, and points towards the presents, the KFC and the cake, then gets out spoon and knives for the cake and two pairs of plates for both it and the KFC. She sets the thermoses closer to the cake, and puts her package together with Laisa's taking on her phone and then snap a picture of all the elements, and then putting herself in front. "Let's take a picture first!", she explains excitedly.
Laisa Samuiko	Under normal conditions Laisa might be a bit less eager, but this is her birthday and so she allows herself to be a little bit selfish. She takes a moment to look over everything they've set up and especially the cake. She listens to Veronica's sweet words with a soft smile and sparkles in her eyes. "You mean a lot to me, too. You're always so kind and attentive. Everything about you is wonderful, and you always make me happy." Laisa takes one of the packages, the red and purple one, and admires the wrapping for a moment when Veronica mentions taking a picture. "Oh! Yeah, we really should." She sets the package aside for a moment and helps rearrange the table so that all the important bits get into the frame in a photogenic way. Once they're done with set up, she takes the first package in hand and poses with it, smiling at the camera. Everything here looks so pretty, especially the company, so she thinks the picture will come out really nicely. "Send me a copy too, okay?" she asks. After the camera she reaches out with one arm to hug Veronica for a moment. "Merry Christmas, my kitten~."
Veronica Perenna	Her heart goes 'squeeze' at all those wonderful words in a row, and she just has to now. The atmosphere feels just too perfect for it, even if she feels like It would be "unwrapping" her present early. Keep calm, you can do it later, she urges herself, even as she looks at Laisa lovingly. She watches Laisa pick up and rearrange one of her presents, finger trepidantly hovering over the snap button, wanting to see those photos herself. "Of course I will send them to you, my precious snowsweet", she replies happily. "Merry Christmas." "Hey, Laisa", the brunette whispers, looking at her playfully. "Kiss me~" She smiles widely as she says, hoping to have this moment before they actually get to opening their gifts, and eating all the delicious food they have prepared. It's mostly sweets, but still a wonderful meal she looks forward to.
Laisa Samuiko	Laisa waits with a smile as Veronica takes the picture. She picks up that her kitten might be feeling like she is, and really they have been calm long enough. After the picture is taken, and Veronica approaches her with a request, Laisa says, "Oh, gladly my dear." The sculptor sets the present down, approaches Veronica, cups the painter's cheek in her hand and draws closer with sparkles in her eyes. Softly, gently, she brushes her lips against her darling's while her other arm wraps around her girlfriend's back. Of course, the food looks delicious, and she's curious about the presents, but at the forefront of Laisa's mind in this situation is always going to be Veronica. After taking the time to savor the closeness, Laisa smiles softly and kisses Veronica again a bit more firmly. "Such a sweet kitten I have right here. I'm the happiest little snow angel."
