Ever since he’d passed the age of twelve, Cardinal nolonger expected to receive presents on Christmas. Of course, his family tendedto ignore such logic, but it was always a surprise when they did. So, findingthe vibrant box had him doing a double take and carefully extracting the cardto ascertain the appropriate recipient. He couldn’t stand the idea of somebodybeing let down on accident. As coffee hues scanned over the card’s contents andthen the package’s, he felt a little lump forming in his throat. Ezio had proven himself quite kind, yet he hadn’t expected something like this.

While lengthy digits rifled through their pages, alreadyearmarking his favorites, the aspiring culinarian made a mental note to gifthis fellow volunteer with a plate full of goodies from their recipes as soon aspossible.

It was odd enough receiving a present for the man in red; yet, it was even more shocking when she found yet another gift. This was smaller, yet just from seeing the box she bit her lip before reading the note.

Despite how her lips curled downward whenever she saw Ezio’s name, this time it brought a pleasant sensation. Opening the box, she shook her head slowly before fastening it around her neck, so it lay a bit below her necklace from her mothers. “Ah, Christmas…is a really…” Mortal words failed her as she sighed and went back into her room, feeling her heart warm slightly. 

░ ACCEPTING:

Bumpy nose, growing cherry hued from the chill, wrinkled upas he looked over the adorable stuffed animal. He knew that Ezio was absolutelyright to be concerned. Though the eldest Hood child liked to consider himselfmore responsible than the average young person, this was the time of year to bea little lax. Calloused fingers squished at fluffy sides as he peered into itsglassy eyes, possibly waiting for a Frosty style miracle. “But what if I don’ttake it and it ends up all alone and sad on Christmas? I could break this poorstuffy’s heart.” Turning to shoot a puppy dog eyed pout the other’s way, hecontinued in a sullen tone. “How would you feel if someone cast you aside afteryou finally had a little hope for finding a home?”

She wasn’t sure how this all came about, Ezio and Ophelia...decorating together...being plesant...and cordial. It may have something to do with the fact that his boyfriend, her family member, wanted to put up a christmas tree as a ‘family’ and somehow they were left alone and were not bickering over how to set up the tree. 

Sitting across, her eyes trailing to find two dark and looming characters from across the campus who she had very different relationships with. One, Ezio, who she hated more than anyone currently and Jaye. She didn’t know how to define them, and she didn’t care to. The shadow master hadn’t proved himself worth her time, and she was continuously thrown through hoops with him.

Her staring seemed to have alerted the mutant as her mirror went off and Ophelia glanced up to see the jaded boy glaring at her while holding his device. After sending a quick smile, she stood up and sauntered away but not before sending two texts.

obscure feelings: accepting!

Onism: The frustration of being stuck in just one body, that inhabits only one place at a time.

albeit she’s stated numerous times that she’s content with losing her sense of time in the space that was eah’s campus, there were times where rei would find herself both a liar and a hypocrite. she tries to conceal it behind brown hues but ultimately it begins pouring, seeping out in her expression and overall mood that makes it obvious the the rest of the world. she hates that fact, hates that she’s so transparent, and the fact that ezio is present doesn’t make it any better.

she spins the globe, uncaring that they’re currently in the middle of a project, “the world looks so much smaller when we have it sized like this, if it was this small i could live in japan and still come to school here without worries.” her voice isn’t dull but it’s far from her more chipper, radiant tone. she’s complaining and making wild, unrealistic dreams in her head as she brings her finger up to bring the turning globe to a full stop. her finger happens to land somewhere in the middle of the atlantic.

she stares with mild irritation.

Ellipsism: A sadness that you’ll never be able to know how history will turn out.

She stared, and continued to stare the entire time it felt. What was his name, Ezio? Ezio! She questioned herself over and over again until she felt it was right. The dark circles under his eyes and the red blood vessels that were noticeable is what caught her attention. He was tired and it was obvious to everyone around them. More so to her because she paid such close attention to him and his features. 

She was worried. 

And now he was falling asleep sitting straight up --- Oh my. She continued to watch him, eyes never leaving his face as she examined him. 

A soft sigh brushed past the females lips as she slowly scooted closer to him, her index finger gently tapping his shoulder a bit as she leaned in to whisper in his ear so she didn’t disturb him too much and cause a scene ( she was already surprised the teacher hadn’t already caught him dozing off ). “Are you okay?” --- Simple enough question, and it would really allow her to know if he was lying or not because it was too obvious to her that he wasn’t okay, he was sleep deprived. 

These two weren’t close whatsoever, she didn’t know him enough but still at the same time felt bad that he looked so tired. Was he fighting with his significant other? Was he studying way later than he should have been? She would never know, and instead she felt her motherly instincts kick in and she became more than worried about the poor boy. “You need to get some rest tonight.. the last couple of days you’ve been in here you’ve been on the brink of passing out or already out”, she nodded her head once before looking away.
