[Today, Molly's sprawled out in a chair near her console. Behind her, a decorated Christmas tree is shimmering, sometimes existing, other times not, colored lights twinkling on the ceiling. It's really only an excuse to practice -- and to get a bit of the Christmas spirit in her, too.]

So, uh, happy turtle birthday to me, I guess. Do I get some sort of prize for being here a year?

[There's a pause, in which some people might be able to make out the faint sounds of Nat King Cole singing 'The Christmas Song', and Molly bites her lip a bit.]

I wasn't in much condition to pay attention last year, but. Christmas. Does anyone do anything for it around here? 'Cause I probably will, if anyone is interested. You might want to stay away if you have a thing about magic, though.

[ Jack laughs a little to himself when he identifies the background music, the chuckle just fading as he turns on the video fed. ]

Good music choice.

[There is a very noticeable pause before she responds, but hey, at least she's not being rude.]

Thanks. It's one of my parents' favorites.

[ If he guesses at the reason for the pause, he makes no outward show of it. ]

I've always been partial to Elvis' White Christmas, myself.

What were you thinking for Christmas?

That's a pretty good one, too.

...I don't know, just ...something familiar. I don't think they know much about it, here.

Can't go wrong with Elvis, that's for sure.

Trees, wreaths, lights and eggnog? Actually I'm not sure about the eggnog because there aren't the usual kind of eggs here.

Sure. We can -- I dunno, make a turtle-version of eggnog. Or hot chocolate or cider, something.

I'd be up for it, if you are.

[ A gentle offer; he's not blind to how wary she seems around him and though he doesn't know the reason for it, not entirely, he respects it. ]

That sounds good. 'tis the season, right? [She attempts a small smile.] You provide the cheer, I provide the tree?

Deal. But I'll have to protest if you plan to frost it up with something that comes from a can.

I know better than that, come one.

Good, because nothing beats the real thing.

[A little bit of a lipquirk.] I guess that depends on the amount and the relative temperature.

Nothing colder than it already is, I promise.

Sounds good. [She's spent too much time outdoors in cold Chicago winters, okay?]
