*Kazemi comes excitedly with a big toad in her hands*

Isn't it the most adorably thing!?

@maria--bride

Oh? What did you find, Kazemi? Let me see.

[Curiously, Ruki looks at what is in Kazemi's hand, then at her.]

Really? Now I am surprised. I always thought women find cats or horses adorable. Well, I guess special persons have special likings then.

[With crossing arms, he stares seriously at her.]

Put the toad back where you found it. Do not take away its freedom.

　✒︎ First Five Eight in my inbox get a kiss! [ 8/8 ]

I think your Master can squeeze you in~

[ Ryuuto wasted little time in beckoning her over with a longing, narrowed gaze and a curled finger. As if attempting to trance her closer and closer, Ryuuto closed the gap quicker by taking his own steps forward. ]

[ One hand raised, now, to cup her cheek and help direct her head, as he allowed them to melt together. His lips met hers, and whilst it was slow and didn't seem to linger all too long... it was certainly sweet. ]

Mm..

I got you a new oil paint kit as a gift. Hope you like it!

@maria--bride

[ After briefly inspecting the brand of paint she had gotten him, a smile creeps onto his face. ]

I didn't think you would have known too much about the brands of oil paint to ensure you selected one of high quality... although, this is certainly something.

I can't imagine it was cheap; You have outdone yourself.

Especially for a holiday a Vampire like myself doesn't celebrate...

I thought you might like this little fox I found! Hope you have a nice holiday~

@maria--bride

"Oh my... Maria... Thank you so much! This fox plushie is so darn cute! I love it!"

(I'm curious what Yuuto will say about it...)

[Nalia hugged Maria tight.]

"Whenever I cuddle it I'll think of you."

"I have something for you as well. The last time we met, your lips were made up so beautifully red. You mentioned how good you felt about it. So I thought another lipstick would be a good idea. Merry Christmas, Maria~"

Look what I've got for you! I hope you like it~

@maria--bride

Oh! Thank you, Maria. This is a great gift. I really have not been out riding in a long time... I look forward to it.

Will you accompany me? You must know, there is nothing better than dashing forward on a horse as the wind blows through your hair. It just feels amazing.

Of course, I have a little something for you as well. I hope you like it.

I wish you a merry Christmas~ Let us celebrate many more together.

*Comes excitedly, ready to hug him, but then blushes and holds herself back*

It's been so long! How have you been doing? I hope you're ok.

@maria--bride

My, my. Pet...

It has been some time, hasn't it?

[ Noting her blush, Ryuuto approaches a little closer with the faintest of devilish smirks tugging at his lips. ]

I've been quite well myself... Albeit, busy. And yourself?

Hope you're doing well!
