[The first text John sends will be arriving mid-morning.]

so it's been getting really cold outside.
well maybe not really cold.
but cold enough to notice!
which means winter and the holiday season should be coming around soon, right?

so asgard, my question to you is: what holidays do you celebrate around this time? or do you choose not to celebrate at all?

[The second follows a few moments later.]

oh, i guess i forgot to ask in my last text there. does anyone know where i could possibly obtain a job? i think i've sat on my rear end for far too long.

:O
would you celebrate the winter months if you had the chance to?
is there a reason you don't?

I guess I would. Back home there is only a few places where winter months are celebrated...

_{[there's a war and all. Nobody is really in a mood to celebrate... probably.]}

We could help you celebrate the winter months here. It would be a cool experience I think.

It would be nice... But now I'm curious, what holidays do you celebrate in winter in your world?

There are so many. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa. There are also holidays after Christmas and the like called New Years eve and New Years Day where you celebrate the coming in of the new year.

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa...? I've never hard of them.

_[curious.]

I know a lot of about Christmas, just enough about Hanukkah, and just about nothing about Kwanzaa. I could try to explain them?

If it's not a problem...

Christmas is basically a celebration of life, and togetherness. You spend Christmas with you family and very close friends. You get each other presents if you can afford it. But really the time spent together is honestly all that matters.

I see... _{[you spend it with you family and friends? He hasn't seen them for a while...]} It sounds nice.

Hey. We're friends now. I'd like to think anyways. You can totally spend the season being bros with me. If you want of course.

[John. Your niceness is showing.]

_{[he's so surprised now.]}

I-I do, but...! A-are you sure... it's okay? You don't even know my name...

Good time to know it now, right? My name is John.

[Hey it's the least he can do.]

...I'm Ruca. Ruca Milda.

It's nice to know you Ruca. We're going to be awesome friends and we're going to have an even more awesome Holiday.

You too! And... thank you. It's really nice of you.

It's always cool making new friends around here. I've never met such a wide variety of people. Ever. So it's really fun becoming friends with everyone.

I wish I could do that, too...

_{[Become friends with everyone he means.]}

You just have to be used to talking to people. I can't say I'm an expert at talking to people I don't know. But it takes a little bravery and boldness. Which I'm sure you have.

N-not at all! And I'm always so nervous when I need to talk to someone for the first time...

_{[He's got not even a tiny bit of bravery.]}

You spoke to me, which is cool as hell. I'm glad you spoke to me!

[SO BRAVE RUCA....]

N-no... I only... answered your question.

_{[and he was curious to hear about that holidays from other worlds. There's nothing brave in that!!]}

But you're speaking to me now after you answered my question.

[So very brave. Very bold of Ruca.]

W-well, yeah...

_{[No, it's not.]}

You're still talking to me. No reason to be nervous!
