Chaldean Chronicles: Cadence of the Lostgrail

Red lights, green lights, white lights. It's time to celebrate. In the many stalls that have been placed in this town, you can find anything your heart desires. It's a Christmas miracle! Just don't be too demanding. The people running the stalls are actually staff members.

A master and servant walk around the stalls, snow ceyatals delicately falling on their hair and skin. "Ha...It really is cold here..." He exhales deeply, watching his breath turn white at the contact of the cold weather. "Huh? Isn't that Asteria's voice? Well, anyway." Sal turns to Astraea. "What you think, Ruler?"

"I think this is quite nice. It has been a while since I have seen such festivities." Although, she'd agree that it is rather cold. Though it's not really all that bad for her, being a Servant and all. @Sky_ | [NPC] | Sal [9] Walp [14]

"A while..." Sal echoes her words. "Ah, Ruler. You are a goddess, yes?" Saying it so casually made him actually realize the scope of her standing as a Heroic Spirit. He does his best not to follow the next question with an awkward tone or gesture. "Did you have...er, festivities like this? In your honor, I think."

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat

"Certainly, there have been festivities in my honor. I have not exactly attended them however. They were at most small, local celebrations." It is not lost on Astraea that her Master had finally realized her Divinity, she couldn't help but Smile. @Sky_ | [NPC] | Sal [9] Walp [14]

"I see. . ." Acervoa places a hand under his chin as he thinks about what she said. "So, I guess you had no time for fun? I can imagine, being justice," what's the word... "...incarnate, that you'd focus on that more."

12:02 PM

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat

"I suppose you could say that, yes. Those that are unjust are many, therefore I have been very busy." @Sky_ | [NPC] | Sal [9] Walp [14]

"Unjust, huh." This word in particular continues to echo through his mind. Why does it sound more familiar than other words? As if he had constantly ran this idea through his head. "...I...I think I sought justice. Before coming to Chaldea." A fragment slowly returns to the board of his memories.

12:31 PM

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat

"You have? Well, that certainly explains how you've summoned me." If her Master had been someone that was fighting for Justice, then that is someone she will be able to respect. @Sky_ | [NPC] | Sal [9] Walp [14]

His hand moves from under his chin to his temple, as he makes an effort to remember more. "Yes, maybe so..." Funnily enough, both are actually slightly wrong about the nature of Sal's former goals and intents. Maybe leaving that response as a maybe is a bad idea, though. So he clears his throat and continues. "Still, I'm happy I did. Our fights will get harder soon. I need a good partner, for our survival." @Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat

"You have no right to worry, You have a Goddess by your side." @Sky_ | [NPC] | Sal [9] Walp [14]

A goddess. Right. That's true... Sal stares at Astraea's golden eyes. "...Yes. I will trust you, then. Let's do our best, Astraea." And offers a smile, as they walk down the festival stalls.

After leaving Ciel and Shiki to celebrate the holiday together, Akiha wanders through the Christmas town in search of Klara. She's wanted to give her something for a while now, but she never had the chance to during the Singularity. There's no better time than now.

(Gimme a bit, currently outside)

After done sulking for Christmas and leaving the ferris wheel behind, the young looking dhampire would be seen wandering around the town. In her hands are what seemed to be a Christmas sweater, a gift for someone. Klara could be seen looking around, she hoped she are able to catch Arran and perhaps Akiha too in her sight as she had also prepared a Christmas gift for her.

Akiha's mouth shapes a small smile when she sights Klara. "Good evening, Miss Silverbane," she says. "It's been a while since we last talked."

@NoLongerdEd

Hearing the familiar elegant sounding voice, Klara turn her head toward the noble dressed girl as the edge of her mouth curls up slightly. "Good evening too Ms. Tohno, it have indeed been awhile since we've talking with each other. Though before that..." Klara greets the black haired girl as she took a few step closer to Akiha. The sweater in her hand are stuffed back into her bag as she instead pulls out a fancy looking bottle with red liquid within it. It's also wrapped with a warm looking scarf with blue and red motif. "Merry Christmas to you Ms Tohno, I hope my gift suits your taste."

"What's this? For me?" Akiha examines the small bottle with great curiosity. "Thank you," she says. "Did you sew this?"

@NoLongerdEd

"It's christmas themed blood potion for your needs. I've spend more time to refine it to make sure you won't taste the blood as strong as before. As for the scarf...ehe, I tried sewing one, though it ended rather horribly." Klara rubs the back of her neck with a nervous laughter. Despite living for 175 years, she haven't picked up any weaving skills at all.

"I see. I'll cherish this. Thank you for this." Receiving a present from Ciel was surprising enough, but to get one from someone with no affiliation to Shiki is even more of a surprise. "Thank you," Akiha says again. She takes the bottle and stores it away for now. She'd like to spend more time looking at the little design Klara put it in, but there's something she has to do too. When she takes her hand out of her bag again, she's holding a small red box. "Here. This is for you."

@NoLongerdEd

"Don't mention it, this is the season of gifts afterall." Klara smiles happily as she watches Akiha accepted her present. Being a rather important friend to her, Akiha hold a special place for Klara. As she notices Akiha taking out a small red box however, the dhampire eyes stares in suprise as she accepted the box with her hand. "Ah, what's this?" Opening up the small box, she peeks what's contained inside such container.

"I thought it's a shame that a woman as beautiful as you wears nothing on her fingers," Akiha says. "So I had this ring made for you." It's a simple silver ring.

@NoLongerdEd

"Oh my, you flatter me Ms. Tohno." Smilling, Klara took out the silver ring and stare at it for a moment. And not before long, she would place it into her ring finger as it fits it rather nicely. "Hehe, thank you again Ms. Tohno."
