That wasn't so bad, was it? [Vesper's smiling maybe a little nostalgically and holding up one of the Clara dolls handed out during the flood. You might have seen her at the party dressed up in a frilly pink number.]

My grandmother was a particular fan of the ballet, and one year we wound up seeing The Nutcracker around Christmas time. [The smile turns almost self depreciating after a moment.] Which I'm certain you were all desperate to know.

[Private to the Admiral]

I honestly can't remember ever writing a letter to Father Christmas, and I think I'm a little old to be starting now, but if you could arrange a new suit for James (something designer, I can provide the measurements if need be), an OMEGA watch for Cassel and something for his cat, equipment for caring for the dog James asked for for Chris (or a stuffed corgi, if you're not going to deliver the dog), and some decent coffee for Nathan, I would appreciate it.

Did you like it? [Sharing things is definitely not bad in his mind.]

And, uh, sorry, about all the. Dancing, and stuff. [He totally pranced around with a giant nutcracker head on his shoulders. He hopes this never gets back to the likes of Lydia or Jackson.]

[Aw Scott, you really are basically a puppy. :c]

You don't have to apologize. And I enjoyed it. [Sort of. Memories of that part of her life are always vaguely unpleasant and not particularly fun to revisit because her grandmother wasn't exactly the kindest, warmest person in the world, but. The ballet was alright.]

[Painfully accurate tbh. :c]

Okay. Good. I've never seen it. I mean like, my mom made me watch it with her once when I was really young, like on TV, but I got bored and kept asking why no one was talking.

[bitteraftertaste]

I suppose I can't blame you, that probably would have lost my attention, too.

[semifreakingnormal]

I was like...eight.

Although I probably would get bored and want to know why no one was talking now, too.

[bitteraftertaste]

I'm sure we could find you a more modern version to watch.

[semifreakingnormal]

They kept making Nutcracker movies?

[bitteraftertaste]

I assume they have. Although I can't say I'm the most dedicated consumer of pop culture, so I suppose I don't know for certain.

[semifreakingnormal]

I'm kind of behind on top forties and movie hits too, so. No judgement.

[bitteraftertaste]

I appreciate it.
