for Christmas asks:
Happy Starlight, everyone! I hope you're all doing well. To the Scions: Looks like managing gifts will be... a little easier this year, hmm? Though part of me will miss watching Tataru's face after she realized Estinien had spent several million gil on the each of us, somehow. Honestly, I'm not sure how he even managed that still. And it's less stress for me, too, I suppose.... The one year early on that I forgot to buy gifts at all, I thought Y'shtola would have had my head. She certainly made sure I never forgot again, at least. ... Though, I've grown to enjoy it more since then, too. It was nice, to see Urianger's smile at a book I'd given him, or to watch the twins' excitement and remember how young they still are. I miss you all, despite whatever fuss I had initially made. To Urianger and Ryne especially: I love you both so much, wherever you are, and I hope your Starlight is full of joy. I miss spending the day walking around the Crystarium looking for gifts to spoil you rotten with, and sitting together with warm drinks and mittens on when the snow was coming down. Throwing a surprise snowball at Urianger to see him turn around and start retaliating once the shock had worn off (Ryne will tell you he was most often the winner, but don't listen to her - I'm definitely the better snowball warrior.). All the little moments - and all the big ones too.... I guess what all my rambling comes down to is just that I miss you both with all my heart, and I hope you're doing well. To all my friends and family, happy Starlight.
