[ She thought not. And yet, that wind is still so...

...mm. She nods softly. ]

Okay. I'm... Noelle.

[ Winter winds. She watches the Knight, not aggressing and not fearing. Simply... observing.

There's something so familiar in these gusts. ]

...

...h-have... have we...?

[ ...There's. Something. She steps forward, awkwardly but not as scared as she perhaps should be.

That's, perhaps, the good thing about not being fully in the loop. ]

You're... the Knight, right? That's what everyone's calling you...

[ Who's this sassy lost adult? ]

U-um. Hi?

[ thumbs up! :D ]

To heck with that!! It's Christmas time, Krismas!~

[ I mean, with someone like her? Please. ]

[ Well, yeah, but... it's more just.

HER Kris. A Kris that belongs to her. Just funny wording, that's all.

It'd never actually happen. ]

[ Even so... how could she tell that it was """her""" Kris?

...haha. Her Kris. Imagine. ]

[ It's okay, stranger that looks a LOT like Kris but she doesn't want to assume because she knows there's some weird stuff going on and also Susie told her some weird stuff that she doesn't really know about yet and she's just dissociating so hard right now that she isn't here! She'll be okay! ]

...

[ OKAY FAIR BUT IT'S STILL CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!!!!

YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH ]

[ INCORRECT!!! THANKSGIVING DOESN'T EXIST, WE DON'T CLAIM IT. ]

[ The way they say that... she squints, slightly leaning to peek behind them. They're not holding a skateboard. Whew, she's not getting splinters again. ]

No ooze! Maybe a little goop though, right?

Yeah, yeah... I'm not falling for it this time, Krismaaas~

As long as you're sure...

Well, I still worry...!!

[ Frown!! :( ]

...I. Um. Don't think I'd be much help?? Fahaha...

[ She nods sagely in return. ]

Of course. It's very brave, what you do for them.

[ She's not a vampire! She doesn't even have sharp teeeeeeth... ]
